Newquay’s Original Richard Gillis Sun Cream
Richard Gillis Sun Cream is an original Cornish Cottage Industry. In the early 1940s, Richard Gillis, a pharmacist in Newquay, Cornwall, became interested in developing a sun cream to protect the visitors and locals using the towns beaches. The inspiration came to him after a dermatologist friend lent him some books that he acquired whilst in America. In 1945 he began selling the non-greasy, non-staining sun cream from his chemist shop in Newquay.
