Our Story

The concept of enhancing beauty through well-being originated in a Parisian hospital burns unit, where French biologist Albert Laporte faced a challenge. Tasked with aiding the rapid healing of burns and injuries, Laporte developed a formula based on cellular therapy to boost skin immunity and regeneration. As the skin recovered and the epidermis regained health, its beauty also flourished in perfect harmony. Thus, GERnétic was born—a dynamic skincare range combining gerontology (ageing science), biology, and genetics.

Located in a château near Bordeaux, France, GERnétic produces a 100% natural skincare line that respects its ecological surroundings. The range includes transformative treatments for all skin types, featuring anti-wrinkle, anti-ageing, and anti-acne scarring products. This innovative formula, rooted in years of scientific research into cellular therapy and gerontology, harnesses amino acids, peptides, proteins, vitamins, and trace elements to enhance skin health and appearance.

Introduced to the UK over thirty years ago by Marguerite Thorpe, GERnétic has gained acclaim across 52 countries for its high-quality products. Marguerite, a health and beauty specialist and sole distributor of GERnétic in Bournemouth, emphasises holistic well-being in her approach. Recognising the profound impact of cellular therapy on beauty, Marguerite has dedicated her career to staying at the forefront of beauty innovations worldwide. Her commitment to integrating health and beauty has earned her recognition as a Fellow of the British Association of Beauty Therapy & Cosmetology.

Marguerite Thorpe continues to lead GERnétic with passion and expertise, offering not only skincare solutions but also nutritional and lifestyle advice to promote overall health.
