Our Story

We’re proud to be a British brand! Most of our products are made right here in the UK, minus our skincare range YOUR gorgeous SKIN that is made in Korea, harnessing the power of Korean technology for powerful results. Family owned, we were founded in 2013 by husband and wife duo Johnny & Pauline Paterson as an alternative natural solution to help soothe their young daughters eczema. Our HQ is in Bromley, UK where you’ll find our dedicated team working hard behind the scenes with many many more working around the globe to bring the Dr.PAWPAW products into your hands and homes.

It all started with Dr.PAWPAW Original Balm - a soothing multipurpose clear balm that can be used on lips, skin and hair. The soothing and nourishing properties from our Dr.PAWPAW balm formula that consists of PAWPAW (Papaya Fruit), Castor Oil, Aloe Vera and Olive Oil is now helping to soothe the lips and skin of people in over 35 countries around the globe.

The formula was so good, we introduced Dr.PAWPAW Tinted Balms and now you can get the same great formula that will condition lips and cheeks but with a pigmented tint. We didn’t stop there and since then have created high performance and results led Hair Care, Skin Care and more innovative lip products. All are enriched with the power of the PAWPAW and are packed full with sustainably sourced and natural ingredients.

When it comes to packaging we have made some huge changes over the years, all our plastics are PCR (Post Consumer Recycled) and all our cardboard is already 70% recycled. We use water soluble ink on all cardboard packaging, use eco tape on all orders big and small and our tubes are all 100% recyclable. Our Sheet Masks are also 100% biodegradable!

Creating this multipurpose range that people love enables us to also give back - give back to the planet buy investing in eco conscious packaging and formulas and also give back to various charities & organisations - find out more on this on our LOOK GOOD, DO GOOD, FEEL GOOD page.
