Elisir Skin, Behind the Brand

Elisir Skin began with a chance meeting between two people who saw the same gap from opposite sides. Helen Goldie, a seasoned beauty professional, and Ewan McDowall, a strategic consultant with a background in the pharmaceutical industry. They shared one conviction: skincare should be built on the science of skin health, not surface promises.
The Who

The Perfect Partnership

Ewan's background exposed him to the science of DNA and an enzyme most of the beauty industry had overlooked: photolyase. A personal health experience of Helen's solidified the mission. She wanted more than the surface-level products the current market had to offer. Together they assembled a team to build a brand around a different kind of active.That active is photolyase, a light-activated enzyme at the center of Nobel-recognized DNA research, found in some of nature's most sun-resilient organisms. While many well-known actives break down in daylight, photolyase switches on in it. We built our Photoluminate Formula around it formulated with well studied ingredients at meaningful concentrations made in Italy.
