About Environelle

Environelle, run by couple Alan & Sheila Crawford, lived in Durban, South Africa where Alan created a special shaving soap for local men  suffering with severe acne and skin problems. Sheila managed a health and fitness centre offering  personal relaxation techniques and massages with a variety of essential oils.

Big challenges for Skincare 

In the UK, Alan and Sheila became aware of the single use plastics problem in the beauty industry and the high cost of cosmetics. This awareness inspired Alan to create bars of gents shaving soap and body balms, which are presented in recyclable aluminium containers. Environelle products are offered in recycled and recyclable packaging and single use plastic eliminated. Alan Believes although many manufacturers in the industry use recyclable PET plastic , people do not recycle enough, and there exists confusion about different local authorities recycling rules. 

Environelle products have no harsh chemicals ingredients. Sheila believes that if there is a risk using a product which may harm your skin or hair, why use it when environelle makes a product with no risk?

Knowledge in every product

Environelle products, made in small batches by hand, contain natural ingredients, and organic and vegan friendly ingredients.  Alan co-founded Alan Howard Ltd hairdressing supplies and feels the wheel has come full circle with the creation of the Skinsence brand, which has  grown to become branded as ‘environelle’.

Alan & Sheila remain committed to caring for the planet, and making quality skincare.  Their maxim is "what's on the tin is in the tin” which has clear labelling everybody can understand, and offers fabulous value.
