The Aesthetic Medicine and Professional Beauty teams would like to extend our deepest sympathies to the family and friends of Esse Skincare founder, Trevor Steyn.
We recently met Trevor to record a podcast where the team fell for his passion for science, skin and microbiome research and his calming presence and sense of humour.
Trevor was not just a visionary chemist and entrepreneur. He was at the pinnacle of probiotic and microbiome research and through Esse, he was pioneering a new era of personalised skincare.
He was a pioneer who changed the way we understand skin health, leading the global conversation on probiotic and microbiome science in skincare.
"Trevor dedicated his life to remaking the skincare system - guided by microbiome science, a strong ethical foundation, and an unwavering commitment to sustainability," The Esse shared in a statement. "His vision will continue to lead us forward."
