About Us
If you’re choosing to skip harsh chemicals, tired of misleading “natural” labels, or want skincare that honours both your skin and the planet — you’ve found your tribe.
Our Mission
To provide pure, non-toxic, and multifunctional self-care solutions that nurture the whole family, while advocating for a simpler, more transparent, and conscious lifestyle inspired by nature's wisdom.
-
Function First
At Gentle Roots, we put skin health before trends. Most of our products are fragrance-free, or only lightly scented when essential oils provide genuine benefits.
The beauty industry often sells empty polish — products loaded with synthetic fragrance, harsh preservatives, or unnecessary additives that can irritate sensitive skin and do little for long-term health. We take the opposite approach: every ingredient in our formulas has a clear purpose, chosen to nourish, protect, and restore.
Our ethos is simple: effectiveness over empty promises. By focusing on truly functional, non-toxic care, we aim to build a community that values authenticity in skincare, even when the industry often puts fragrance and appearances ahead of skin health and gentleness.

Waterless Formulas
Our products are crafted without water, avoiding harsh preservatives and synthetic alcohols. This means every ingredient is active and effective, delivering concentrated care for your skin without unnecessary fillers.
-
Multipurpose Skincare
At Gentle Roots, we believe less is more. Our ethos is rooted in sustainability and simplicity — creating multifunctional products that do more with fewer steps. Formulas are designed with intention, offering more than one purpose to reduce clutter, cut waste, and make self-care effortless.
By embracing skin minimalism, our products help you streamline your routine while caring for your skin, your family, and the planet. Fewer jars, less fuss — gentle, effective care you can truly trust.
-
Made for All
Our formulations are created with inclusivity at their core — gentle enough for newborns, with most of our range suitable for ages 3+ and beyond. Sensitive skin is always welcome, and every product is crafted to be safe, non-toxic, and effective, so the whole family can enjoy natural self-care.
-
Transparent Ingredients
We focus on clean, natural, and essential ingredients — free from artificial colours, phthalates, synthetic fragrances, alcohol, parabens, and palm oil. Every ingredient is carefully chosen for its safety, quality, and performance, so you always know exactly what you’re putting on your skin.
On every product page, we go a step further: breaking down each ingredient and the benefits it brings. This way, you’re never left guessing, just honest, accessible information so you can feel confident in your skincare choices. We believe you deserve to know what’s in your skincare.

Inspired by Nature & Eco-Friendly
Drawing on ancestral wisdom, we choose raw materials with care, favour trusted UK suppliers, and support ethical supply chains. Our packaging is plastic-free (with the exception of necessary lids and pumps), reusable where possible, and fully recyclable. Every step is guided by a commitment to sustainability and respect for the planet.
-
Handmade with Love
Each product is made in small batches with care and attention to detail, using gentle, effective ingredients and mindful processes. This hands-on approach ensures every item we make is fresh, high-quality, and infused with the personal touch that sets Gentle Roots apart.

Our Story
Gentle Roots was born from a mother’s search for truly natural skincare she could trust for her family. Frustrated by misleading “natural” labels filled with toxins and unnecessary fluff, Jessica set out to create products that are as pure as they are effective.
Every formula is handmade in the UK with non-toxic, eco-conscious ingredients — designed to simplify routines, support sensitive skin, and protect your health while caring for the planet.
