The Environ Skincare line was founded and developed by a South African plastic Surgeon, Dr Des Fernandes.
His research showed that prolonged exposure to harmful UVA and UVB rays destroys the essential vitamins in our skin that keeps it supple and youthful. Environ uses active vitamins A, C, E and Beta carotene that will normalise an unhealthy skin thus promoting more collagen, elastin and fibroblast activity to help regain its youthfulness.
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.
Ageing is a chronic disease that needs daily treatment starting before the visible signs show. 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. As far as is practical, the Environ range is free from synthetic preservatives, colorants and fragrance.

Calgel is revolutionary product that won't crack, chip or peel. Applied to the natural nail, like polish, Calgel is everlasting and only comes off when you decide you want a change! Calgel is completely safe to use, and a pleasure to wear. It has been researched, tested, developed and refined over many years by nail experts and does not contain the chemicals and ingredients found in some other products which seal off and inhibit the natural nail.
This means natural nails are able to respire and grow healthily under the protective layer of Calgel. It is porous, enabling natural gases to pass through the nails; ensuring that air is not trapped which consequently causes nail strength deterioration.
Calgel can be applied and removed without damaging the natural nail growing underneath (with correct application and removal). It is self-levelling and can even be used over artificial nail tips to make these products seem much more like the real thing. To keep toenails and fingernails perfectly groomed, even as they grow, Colour Calgel can be easily painted over and removed without damage.
