The founders added: “We are particularly proud of having launched and developed The Organic Pharmacy, a brand which we believe strongly helps people to live healthier lives.

“We were very careful who we passed this leagacy to because we wanted to be sure they shared the same ethos and standards as us- we are delighted to continue growing The Organic Pharmacy with the help of the Ganassini family .”

As well as selling organic beauty products and supplements, The Organic Pharmacy is also an advocate for sustainability and recently held a sunscreen amnesty.
