Environ® was developed by Dr Des Fernandes, a renowned plastic surgeon and skincare pioneer who believes that Vitamin A is essential for healthy and radiant skin. The introduction of vitamin A into skin care formulations was a ground-breaking development. Dr Des Fernandes, was a pioneer in this field in the 1980s, and was the the first to successfully use vitamin A and antioxidants in a cosmetic product.

Val Carstens, Dr Des' sister, believed in her brother, and commenced selling these creams to friends and family prior to the formation of the company. She built Environ® Skin Care from a dream to the global success that it is today with over 140 products available in more than 70 countries.

As a brand, we are proud enough to recommend our products to the people who matter most in our lives. If we weren’t, we wouldn’t create them.

Environ® uses the power of beautiful science to create products that make a real difference to people’s lives. The 100+ international awards continue to recognise the brand for outstanding products which is why Environ® is favoured by international skin care therapists, the medical fraternity, beauty editors, aestheticians and film stars.
