Skin Chemists UK Voucher And Discount Code – In 1955, our founder (Richard Walkers)’s father, Francis G. F. Walker, graduated as a Pharmaceutical Chemist and went on to take over Ridleys, in Carlisle. It was shortly after this, that he created one of the first vegan, botanical, skin creams, fusing Elderflower with a natural moisturiser – a product that went on to make people look and feel the best for the next 50 years. Even back then, the dedication to quality and the commitment to results was there to be seen by the people they served.
