Environ® Skin Care
Products
Ageing is a chronic disease that needs
daily treatment starting before the visible signs show,
after all prevention is better than cure. As we get
older,  more
intensive treatment is required. Daily treatment using
the Environ® range will help reduce and delay the
signs of photo-ageing.
Environ® skin care products have
been formulated to combat and relieve the harmful effects
of the harsh climatic changes of today’s environment
specifically pollution and ever-increasing doses of
radiation from the sun due to the thinning of the protective
ozone layer. Added to these are the modern-day effects
of social and work stresses and poor diet.
The Environ® products offer
a definite regime to nourish, protect and maintain a
healthy, youthful and beautiful skin. Each product is
made from the highest quality ingredients. They
are mostly free from fragrance, preservatives, colourants
and animal extracts.
The introduction of vitamin A into
the formulation of skin care products heralded a new
era in the treatment of sun-damaged skin. Although some
cosmetic houses were using very low doses of vitamin
A in their skin care products in the 1980s, Dr Des Fernandes,
a prominent Cape Town plastic surgeon, was the first
person in the world to introduce vitamin A in high effective
doses. This range established Environ® as a leader
in skin care.
The Environ® skin care range was
first formulated as a result of Dr Fernandes’
misfortune when he attempted to treat the melanoma of
two young, charismatic patients, who both died before
they were twenty-three years old. Such a horrifying
experience leaves an indelible scar on one’s life
as a doctor. For this reason, he started to study the
mechanism of skin cancer and the skin - and thus Environ®
was born.
The cosmetic manufacturing company,
Environ Skin Care cc, was founded by Dr Fernandes in
1990 and he soon expanded its number of products into
a full skin care range. Environ® skin care products
are manufactured under strictly controlled laboratory
conditions at the Environ® factory in Cape Town,
South Africa.
 The
company is owned by Dr Des Fernandes and his sister,
Mrs Val Metcalfe. It now has an extensive distribution
network throughout South Africa and exports to more
than thirty countries worldwide.
Dr Fernandes has specialised in the
field of plastic surgery in which he has gained the
respect of his international peers. After a long career
in the commercial world, Val Metcalfe joined her brother
at Environ Skin Care cc as its CEO, bringing with her
a wealth of business experience that she has used to
engineer and build Environ® into the company it
is today.
