Ever since Cleopatra took milk baths to preserve her beauty, it has been the quest of women to improve their skin and delay the effects of ageing. Men took a while longer to catch on but now more than ever the male market is realising the importance of protecting and caring for their skins.
Many advertisements for skin care brands today make unsubstantiated claims of eternal youth, promoting fad ingredients that are made out to be miracle cures. Consumers are no longer fooled by glamorous photos of air-brushed celebrity beauties, but are looking for products that offer real results and a glowing, healthy radiance.

We strive on integrity and keeping the meaningful promises we make to our consumers by offering the most effective skin care range that science permits.

There’s no such thing as a quick fix when it comes to achieving healthy, beautiful looking skin.

Since ancient times, people have used cosmetics to try to improve their skin and to hide the visible effects of ageing. While offering the hopeful user the promise of being a ‘miracle in a jar’, until recently, most creams remained simple, old-fashioned moisturizers in progressively more modern and expensive packaging.

The introduction of vitamin A into skincare formulations was a groundbreaking moment, because it offered benefits to sun-damaged skin. Prominent Cape Town plastic surgeon Dr Des Fernandes was a pioneer in this field. In the 1980’s, he was one of the first to use vitamin A in high enough doses for a genuine, measurable effect on the quality of the skin.

Dr Fernandes became interested in the mechanics of skin cancer and the skin following the untimely deaths of two young patients due to melanoma. Through his research, he discovered the essential role of vitamin A in skin health and he became determined to create treatments that would maintain healthy skin, especially as the incidence of sun-related disorders grows worldwide. Out of this the Environ® range and company were born. Over the past 20 years plus years, it has developed an extensive distribution network in South Africa and the rest of the world, the efficacy of its product making it one of the cult favorites among those in the know; Environ® is acclaimed by international beauty editors, skincare therapists and dermatologists.

At its heart Environ®’s mission is to provide proven . cutting edge technology and sound skin science principles in creating skincare for women and men from youth to maturity, as well as children, all skin types and ethnicities. It’s never too early to start caring for your skin, so invest in it now for great future returns.
