Dr. PAWPAW Multipurpose Balm

Dr. PAWPAW is a pioneering multi-purpose skincare brand that has become a staple in the global beauty industry. Founded in 2013 by the husband-and-wife duo Johnny and Pauline Paterson, the brand was inspired by the need for a versatile, family-friendly skin treatment. The name reflects its core ingredient: fermented Carica Papaya (Pawpaw), sourced from Australia, which is known for its natural healing and soothing properties.

Starting with the iconic 'Original Balm' in yellow packaging, the brand has since expanded into a wide range of tinted balms, hair care, and professional skincare solutions. Despite its international reach and distribution in over 30 countries, Dr. PAWPAW remains a British-run enterprise. The products are proudly manufactured within the United Kingdom to maintain high quality and ethical standards, ensuring they remain cruelty-free and vegan-friendly.

The brand continues to be independently owned by its founders through their company, Dr. PAWPAW Ltd. This independence has allowed the brand to maintain its core values of inclusivity and sustainability while growing from a small startup into a globally recognized leader in the multi-purpose beauty category. Their products are widely available through major retailers such as Waitrose, Boots, and various international pharmacies and beauty boutiques.
