Our Story: Why We Started

It started with a friend.

She went through surgical menopause at 25. The experience was brutal, no guidance, no community, and products that looked like they belonged in a back alley clinic, not on her bathroom shelf. We were shocked.


This is what female health looked like in the 21st century? So we started asking questions.

The more we learned, the more furious we got. Menopause, especially early menopause, is misrepresented, misunderstood, and ignored. And it doesn’t stop there.

If you have POI, Endo, PCOS, PMDD, or you’ve been medically thrown into menopause, you’ve probably felt invisible too. Especially if you’re under 50, or part of a marginalised community.


We knew there had to be a better way. One that didn’t reduce you to a diagnosis. One that didn’t feel clinical, outdated, or patronising. One that looked good on your shelf and felt even better on your body.

So we built it. From scratch.

And it wasn’t easy. We bootstrapped it all—hand-assembled 2,000 bottles in a living room. Spent our savings on the wrong formula. Lost our first product name in a trademark dispute. Had to learn everything the hard way—barcodes, packaging, customs, you name it.

But we also sold out three times. We got thank you messages that made us cry. And we won Scottish EDGE. Twice.

This is more than a business. It’s a rebellion.

Why we're called GLORIAH

We get asked this a lot.

Our brand is inspired by second wave feminism, and the great Glorias of that era.The name is a tribute. To Gloria Steinem, feminist icon and co-founder of Ms. Magazine. And Gloria Gaynor whose anthem "I Will Survive" became a rally cry for female resilience.

And the 'H'? That stands for pleasure. For the moment you exhale. The "ahhh" that comes with relief, comfort, and being seen.

Because that’s what we want GLORIAH to feel like.

What GLORIAH Means to You

When we first launched, we spoke to menopausal women. But then you came to us.

The ones in your 20s and 30s. The ones with PMDD and POI. The ones who couldn’t find anything that made you feel seen.

You told us the old stuff didn’t speak to you. You didn’t want to feel like a patient. You wanted to feel powerful.

So we listened. We pivoted. And we’re still listening.

“GLORIAH is the first brand that talks about my condition without making me feel broken.”

“Everything else felt sterile. GLORIAH feels like a hug and a f*ck you at the same time.”

This brand is yours as much as ours.

The Brand: Rebellious by Design

Our aesthetic is no accident.

We took inspiration from the 1970s, a decade of cultural change, liberation, and feminist fire. Our bold terracotta tubes? A nod to that earthy, statement-making energy. Our prints and textures? Inspired by the riotous beauty of second-wave feminism.

Even our product names carry weight:

  • Liberation Oil A tribute to the Women's Liberation Movement.
  • Soul Gel – Inspired by funk and soul, the soundtrack of Black Women’s Liberation.
  • Hey, Sunshine – Our disco-bright scent for mood and energy.
  • Slow Jam – A sultry, scent-patented pulse oil for calm, intimacy, and winding down.

We believe female health should look, feel, and sound like you. Not like a medical textbook.

Our Formulation Philosophy

Soul Gel took two years to perfect. We work with the UKs leading chemists in natural cosmetics to create formulas that are natural, effective, and safe.

We don’t use endocrine disruptors. We avoid harsh fillers. And we never add ingredients just to make a label look fancy.

We champion clinically proven naturals, like AlgaPur, a sustainable algae oil proven to boost hydration and collagen better than Argan or Coconut.

Every formula is designed to do more than moisturise, it’s there to nourish, soothe, and respect your skin.

If it wouldn’t go on our vulvas, it doesn’t go in our products.
