GHP Q2 2024 As an R&D company, Skin Elements knows that it is its people who bring its purpose-led business strategy and culture to life, with Peter saying, “It is very fulfilling for all of us to come to work every day knowing we are creating products that are healthy for people and the environment. This purpose is something we are very passionate about and proud to be a part of.” At the foundation of this are values of ‘Sustainability’, ‘Quality’, ‘Innovation’, ‘Integrity’, ‘Health and Wellness’, and ‘Collaboration’, all of which are highly reflective of its team’s commitment to creating products that are quality, safe, and support peoples’ health and wellbeing. In terms of ‘Sustainability’, the team remain committed to sustainable practices that protect and preserve the planet. From responsibly sourcing organic ingredients and not testing on animals to minimising the company’s environmental footprint, the team ensure that their processes and products contribute to a healthier world. Having healthy sustainable business operations is integral to the way the organisation operates, its values, and its mission. This approach is made possible through three key areas across the company: responsible sourcing and testing; environmental stewardship; and recyclability and biodegradability. “Our sunscreens are reef-safe, and our packing is all recyclable; even our consumables such as tape and packing peanuts are made from biodegradable substances like cornstarch,” Peter tells us. “We consider ecological impacts when designing and manufacturing our products. Our packaging is 100% recyclable, and our formulae are biodegradable, developed to have no negative impact on the environment, even when in landfill.” ‘Quality’ is an extremely important factor to Skin Elements, too. Excellence remains at the heart of everything it does, with it rigorously testing every product to make sure they meet the highest possible standards of quality and safety, and provides customers with the best natural health and wellness solutions. This comes alongside ‘Innovation’, believing in its power to drive progress within the industry. The team are continually exploring new scientific advancements and technologies to develop cuttingedge products that are truly industry leading. The company also conducts all of its business with ‘Integrity’, guaranteeing honesty and transparency in everything it does. Building trust with its customers, partners, and stakeholders is paramount to Skin Elements, and it upholds the highest ethical standards. Also key among its values is ‘Health and Wellness’, being dedicated to enhancing the wellbeing of its customers. It creates products that promote a healthy lifestyle and empower individuals to achieve their wellness goals naturally. Lastly, ‘Collaboration’ is an important factor in making Skin Elements’ mission a reality, with it valuing partnerships and working closely as a team and with external partners. By working together and sharing knowledge, the Skin Elements team is able to achieve greater outcomes and drive collective success. “We are the only formulation company which is dedicated to developing 100% natural health care alternatives to mass-market chemical-based products. This is the reason for our existence and is what has driven us every day for almost 20 years.” Talking more about what makes Skin Elements stand out in its space, Peter tells us how some large pharma or research companies only dabble in it, producing a variety of ‘natural’ products but using synthetic chemicals to enable product preservation. While some companies are in fact responding to the market’s desire for natural products, Peter says “the major players still have their heads in the sand”, adding, “Well, why wouldn’t they, when they have the market covered with cheap, easy to produce chemical products?
