Environ Skincare

Since ancient times mankind has tried to make cosmetics to improve the skin and hide the effects of ageing. The bitter truth is that for the most part, cosmetic creams remained simple old-fashioned moisturisers offering "Dreams of Youthful Skin" wrapped in progressively more modern and expensive containers.

The use of vitamin A in the formulation of skin care products heralded a new era in the treatment of sun-damaged skin. Although a few cosmetic houses were utilising very low doses of vitamin A in their skin care products in the 80's, Dr. Fernandes, a well known Cape Town Plastic Surgeon was one of the first in the world to introduce vitamin A in high effective doses. This range established Environâ as a leader in skin care.

Today industrial waste and other contaminants continue to pollute the atmosphere, directly affecting the condition of our skin. The hole in the ozone layer is a reality subjecting us to more intensive Ultra-violet irradiation and the corrosive effects of Free Radicals.

Being ultra sensitive to the current conditions of the environment, the continuous over exposure to the sun, particularly in South Africa and with a desire to further develop his range of skin care creams, Dr. Fernandes continued his research and later followed the then established EnvironŽ Original range with the IonzymeŽ Series. This range of products containing higher concentrations of vitamin A and C in addition to penetrant enhancers provides even better results in the reduction of photoageing, pigmentation, blemishes and scars.

Even better results were achieved with the IonzymeŽ range when EnvironŽ introduced more advanced technology with the use of the IonzymeŽ DF machine that utilises both Iontophoresis and Sonophoresis to enhance penetration of the vitamins though the epidermis. The use of the machine ensures maximum penetration of the creams many times more than normal, thereby rejuvenating the skin.

The principle and philosophy of the EnvironŽ creams is that the introduction of vitamin A and other essential vitamins into the skin work to "normalize" the skin and to make the skin look younger and smoother - hence products are not recommended for individual skin types (dry oily etc.) but clients are rather started on creams containing a low concentration of vitamins, building up the vitamin content to enable the essential vitamins to normalize the skin and maintain a healthy skin.

Since its launch 12 years ago, EnvironŽ's intensive vitamin therapy for skin has become hugely popular. Today it is sold in more than 30 countries, including Japan, the U.K., America, Switzerland, Germany, Italy, Australia, Poland and Korea.
