What is the Emma Lewisham difference? The answer lies in three key points:
- 100% naturally derived ingredients
- Scientifically validated results (which demonstrate its outperformance of many luxury competing brands, including cosmeceuticals)
- The brand will soon be 100% circular designed, and is set to be product carbon negative by mid-2021
Founder, Emma Lewisham says, “The beauty industry produces 120 billion units of packaging each year (can we quote source) and it’s estimated that 95% of it can’t and is not recycled so is the industry’s number one contributor to carbon emissions. By moving to a circular model, beauty brands would lower their carbon emissions by an astounding 70%, and mitigate billions of units of packaging reaching landfill and our oceans every year.We believe that the future of beauty needs to be circular and regenerative. We no longer can operate as business as usual so we are taking ownership for everything we bring into the world”.
EFFICACIOUS, SUSTAINABLE INGREDIENTS:
- 100% traceability of all the ingredients used in its products and therefore can attest that each one is produced in a sustainable and ethical way.
- Full transparency of its ingredient sources, how they’ve been formulated and are open about where the brand needs to improve in its production processes.
- Each product is developed from scratch in its laboratory in New Zealand, with leading green chemists.
Emma Lewisham’s next production goal is to work towards having its products made solely from fully regenerative farmed sources, working with international farms who are pushing the needle forward in transitioning their farms towards regenerative practices.
SCIENCE-BACKED PRODUCTS: The award-winning Skin Reset Even Tone Serum is formulated with 24 of the most high-performing natural ingredients in the world for repairing and preventing hyperpigmentation. Including plant stem cell extracts developed from 5 years of research and testing. An independent in vivo test performed by contract research laboratory, Trinity Bioactives, demonstrated that the Emma Lewisham Skin Reset Serum is clinically more effective at inhibiting hyperpigmentation than Drunk Elephant, Dr Dennis Gross, Eve Lom, La Mer and Sunday Riley’s hyperpigmentation focused products.
In addition, further testing also performed by Trinity Bioactives, demonstrated Emma Lewisham’s best-selling Supernatural Collagen Peptide 72-hour Crème stimulates type one collagen production 21x more than Augustinus Bader’s ‘The Rich Crème’ and 3.3x more than La Mer’s ‘Crème de la Crème’. In both of these clinical trials, Emma Lewisham was the only 100% natural product to be tested.
100% CIRCULAR: Committed to the relentless pursuit to redefine the beauty industry, and firmly against the ‘take-make-dispose’ model. Emma Lewisham is set to transform the way beauty operates, with the brand currently rolling out refillable options for all of its products globally. Emma Lewisham was the first skincare brand in the world to package its Skin Shield Sunscreen products in 100% post-consumer-recycled (PCR) plastic, and was the first beauty brand in New Zealand and Australia’s to partner with TerraCycle, through the Emma Lewisham’s Beauty Circle.
Emma says, “Beauty works in a very linear model of take, make, dispose; this is a model Emma Lewisham will not be part of, and we want to disrupt this industry norm for the sake of our planet. We believe in the refillable beauty movement, and its why, by June, all of our products will come with refillable options. We’ll share our IP and, hopefully, influence other beauty brands to join us in becoming circular.”
A-listers such as Georgia Fowler, Melanie Grant, Phoebe Tonkin, Lucy Williams, and Irina Shayk have already become devoted fans of the brand.
