EMMA'S
JOURNEY

Inquisitive, analytical and forever searching to prove the impossible, possible - Emma always felt she would do something meaningful in her work.

Prior to founding her eponymous skincare line, Emma found this meaning as the sole female, senior executive in a global technology company.

She thrived in the environment of innovation and found purpose in helping develop and uplift the women on her team. However, her fast-paced life stood suddenly still in 2016, upon losing her beloved mother to cancer.

Emma describes this time as a ‘period of pause’ and deep introspection, of bringing her down to Earth, from where she realised that no-one is invincible.

Having prioritised work over wellness for 10 years, Emma began to look closely at her health.

Planting the seeds of Emma Lewisham

It wasn’t until visiting her doctor to discuss pregnancy and disclosing her new lifestyle, that Emma was questioned on her skincare routine.

It wasn’t until visiting her doctor to discuss pregnancy and disclosing her new lifestyle, that Emma was questioned on her skincare routine.

Having grown up in sunny New Zealand, Emma was using a product to combat hyperpigmentation with the active ingredient hydroquinone.

Her doctor informed her that this ingredient is controversial for people’s health, banned in the UK, Europe and Japan and advised her not to continue using it. This revelation planted the seeds for what would 3 years later, become Emma Lewisham.

Watering
The Seeds

Emma dove deeply into researching and understanding every ingredient that she applied to her skin. She began searching high and low for natural, scientifically proven skincare - only to find that what she wanted, didn’t exist.

She was used to using luxurious, high tech products and wanted the natural equivalent.

Emma was struck that there seemed to be a need to compromise between having natural formulations, and having something that actually worked.

Nurturing
Growth

Seeing this gap in the market, desiring this product for herself, and genuinely wanting to create something better for people, Emma began the 3 year lead up to launching Emma Lewisham.

Seeing this gap in the market, desiring this product for herself, and genuinely wanting to create something better for people, Emma began the 3 year lead up to launching Emma Lewisham.

       
      

The first year consisted of bringing together a team of world leading biochemists to research, review and understand the science behind the highest performing, most innovative, natural extracts and ingredients available.

The next 2 years were spent formulating and perfecting the small number of products that Emma Lewisham launched with.

Emma was determined to create a product that was not only natural and scientifically proven to give results, but that felt as luxurious as any premium brand on the market.

This proved challenging, and Emma understood quickly why using synthetics to achieve that velvety, luxurious texture can be so appealing. However, she refused to make any compromises.

Developed by scientists and physiologists

our formulations focus on the physiology of the skin,

to deliver superior results.

Developed by scientists and physiologists with over 100 years combined experience, our formulations focus on the physiology of the skin, determining how multiple ingredient combinations can work in synergy with each other to deliver superior results.

Using cutting edge skincare science, our formulas are engineered with up to 25 meticulously chosen ingredients that individually perform a function, but in synergy work to amplify each other to provide unparallelled results. The most powerful way to interact with the skin is by harnessing nature, therefore we only use natural ingredients, harnessing both bio-identical ingredients found within the skin as well as the specialised, scientifically proven natural plant extracts. These bio-active ingredients work in harmony with the skin to trigger powerful cellular responses that deliver unparalleled results.

Creating the perfect product took patience and determination - especially when layering in Emma’s uncompromising promises around responsible sourcing, sustainable packaging and zero tolerance for animal testing (including on any singular ingredient - not just the finished product itself).

A NEW
BENCHMARK BORN

After 2 years and many iterations later, in 2019 Emma Lewisham was born. Striving to consistently set a new benchmark in beauty, bottle by bottle, Emma Lewisham embodies a new way of thinking, proving that scientifically backed and natural skincare can co-exist.

Independently verified to outperform even the most iconic luxury brands on the market, Emma Lewisham has quickly developed a reputation for delivering visible results you can see and feel.

Through pioneering a better way Emma and her team hope to lead a movement towards natural carbon positive, circular and transparent beauty - that you can trust.
