70 Pelactiv is an Australian manufactured and owned skin care company based in Sydney. Following their success in LUXlife’s Fashion & Lifestyle Awards as the Best Skincare & Mineral Make-Up Range 2018 – Australia, we profiled the firm and spoke to Pelactiv’s CEO, Kerry-Anne Raiola who revealed more about this dynamic young company and the products they produce. Pelactiv – Australian skincare at its best. Now into their 20th year of business, Pelactiv is an innovative and exciting company proving to be up there with the beauty industry leaders in Australia. They take skincare seriously. Australia is well known to have one of the most damaging environments to the skin – their extreme weather patterns together with the increasingly dangerous ozone layer makes them experts in all things related to skin. Heading the organisation is CEO, Kerry-Anne Raiola who is passionate about Pelactiv, one of the leading Beauty Salon skincare brands within Australia. Pelactiv have well over 500 Stockists throughout Australia as well as Stockists in New Zealand, Lebanon and Bali. Pelactiv is a complete professional and retail range of cosmeceutical skincare treatments and products offering outstanding results. Pelactiv’s clients are specifically Beauty Salon owners who seek to have a performance based, results driven treatment system and product range. And that is what they deliver. Their promise? To get your skin to its healthiest level possible - with no downtime. The secret lies in their unique progressive peeling system. Pelactiv is the only Australian skin care company that manufactures their products. From inception right through to the finished product, the company have full quality control, as Kerry-Anne explains. “Here at Pelactiv, we provide a personalised service to our Stockists, that is our amazing team of Account Managers deal with them on a personal basis providing excellence in service, training, products and support. We play an important part in our clients’ businesses and do our outmost to ensure their needs are met.” Pelactiv plays an important role within the cosmetic surgery sector. Going into further detail about the services they offer, Kerry-Anne informs us of the techniques they use to stand out from competitors. “Our unique ‘progressive peeling system’ plays a necessary role when clients seek to have delicate facial surgery procedures. Studying the results of before and after procedures to the face and neck there was a common underlying problem. Women were having surgery with skin suffering the effects of smoking, dehydration, sun damage and premature ageing. “Pelactiv prescribes a course of peels to get the skin into optimum condition before surgery – that is, more hydrated, firmer, clearer and healthier. The skin is in much better condition prior to surgery thereby offering a better healing outcome. Post-surgery, by continuing with the Pelactiv peeling system, the skin heals faster, scarring is minimal, and the skin has an overall healthier looking appearance.” Pamper Pelactiv : Visibly Healthier Skin When discussing the internal culture at Pelactiv, Kerry-Anne is keen to highlight how she ensures that each member of the team is aware of the firm’s aims and behaves accordingly. “I have an amazing Team working for Pelactiv – from the warehouse, to the office staff, to the Account Managers right through to the CFO. We all work so closely together and as a true team. Everyone has the same intention and motivation – that is to make a difference. Being a small Australian skincare company, we have realised that we can still make a remarkable difference to the Industry. We act with integrity, honesty and loyalty and work hard to support the Beauty Salon Industry – an Industry that is often neglected by the Corporates.” Looking ahead to what the future holds for the luxury skin company, Kerry-Anne signs off by revealing the exciting plans which lie in the pipeline for Pelactiv. “The future is looking particularly bright for us! We are currently working on some new additions to our range. Also, we have had a lot of overseas interest so international distribution is another area that offers opportunity to us. Most importantly, we will be opening up our own Beauty College offering state of the art study and training facilities. “Moving forward, we are hoping have a more international profile soon and we are excited to bring our products to the world. With the impending launch of our new tanning products and our Skin Brightening range – Pelactiv should soon be in a salon near you.” Contact: Kerry-Anne Raiola Company: Pelactiv Address: PO Box 172, Willoughby, NSW, 2068, Australia Telephone: 0061 284225000 Web Address: www.pelactiv.com FAL18034
