A Pharmacist's Vision and Passion

The founder, Margo Marrone, now 46, began working part-time at a local pharmacy at the age of 15. There, she witnessed pharmacists meticulously consult with customers and prepare custom "naturopathic" remedies tailored to their health conditions and lifestyles. Inspired by this, she naturally gravitated towards a career as a pharmacist.

After obtaining her pharmacy qualifications, Margo gained experience at leading hospitals and pharmacies in London. In 1995, she pursued further specialized knowledge in "natural healing" at Regent's College, London. Fascinated by the power of plants and their healing capabilities through synergistic interactions, she began to forge her own unique approach to beauty.

"As a pharmacist in British pharmacies, I've consulted with over several thousand clients," Margo shares. "Through this, I realized that truly effective formulations require a commitment to selecting organic ingredients while integrating medical wisdom into product development. This combination not only offers superior texture and efficacy but also delivers noticeable positive changes within just a few days."

Products Developed with Medical Precision, Down to the Last Drop

Leveraging her experience as a plant specialist and pharmacist, Margo launched the "Herbal Toner" in 1998. Based on the "detoxification theory" to enhance immunity and restore natural beauty, and adhering to British pharmacy formulations and rigorous organic ingredient standards, it is manufactured in their own UK-certified organic facility. Praised for delivering "results beyond potential," it has won the "InStyle Best BEAUTY BUYS" award for seven consecutive years, selected by experts. It is now available in 29 countries worldwide.

Star Products for Anti-Aging

The Organic Pharmacy proposes an "anti-aging" regimen consisting of a 3-step process, including the Herbal Toner, plus morning care. The starter product is the "Carrot Butter Cleanser," a booster-type cleanser expertly blended with 12 oils, including shea butter, sunflower, coconut, jojoba, and beeswax. This high-purity organic oil gently lifts even stubborn makeup without irritating the skin, while simultaneously providing hydration and acting as a moisturizer.

For post-cleansing toning, use the "Herbal Toner," the brand's origin and star item. Based on aloe vera, it contains 18 carefully selected herbs for ideal skin, including marshmallow, chamomile, horsetail, and St. John's wort. This all-skin-type toner resets skin imperfections and boosts skin immunity, making makeup application noticeably smoother.

Perfect Evening Care with Beauty Gel and Serum

After cleansing and toning, use a synergistic blend of two pumps each of the "Antioxidant Face Gel" and "Antioxidant Face Firming Serum."

The Antioxidant Face Gel is a powerful anti-aging treatment gel. Naturally derived organic sulfur (MSM) and DMEA promote collagen production, leading to firm, resilient skin from within. The Antioxidant Face Firming Serum is an oil-based serum that imparts radiance and suppleness, revealing luminous, soft skin. Its luxurious formula, featuring carrot, grapefruit, and amino acids, is particularly noteworthy.

In addition to the three steps above, morning care includes the "Double Rose Rejuvenating Face Cream," a protective base cream that prevents the accumulation of daytime damage. It shields the skin from harsh environmental factors like air pollution and external elements throughout the day, maintaining moisture and keeping skin plump, firm, and resilient.

The Organic Pharmacy is launching with 43 carefully selected skincare products from a total lineup of approximately 300 items. The first store is set to open at Daimaru Kyoto in late August.
