Our Values
• No Pseudoscience
We believe in being honest and open and will not make spurious claims about our product. We won’t create gimmicks or terms that sound scientific, but in fact mean nothing. Instead we will explain our products in clear, straight forward English with a bit of the esoteric thrown in.
• All Natural
We only use the finest, UK sourced (where we can), natural ingredients. We hand blend these ingredients within a controlled environment to ensure that what you receive is as natural as possible. To this end we use the finest essential oils that we can find to add to our bases. That means that wherever possible we use CO2 extractions to ensure that we do not have to add unknown solvents to our products. At times we will even add natural plants like Lemongrass, Bay leaves and Lavender etc. to ensure that we get the best, natural and effective products to you.
• Results Driven
We take a scientific approach to creation. We will never claim results that are unrepeatable, and we will never hide behind dodgy statistics. All of our products are trialed by a team of specially selected human product testers. Their opinions and thoughts are shared with you. Our formulas work because we use therapeutic concentrations of high quality natural ingredients that work together to create results.
• Socially Responsible
At Concept: Skin we put the customer at the heart of what we do, but we also ensure that our products don’t just work for you, they work for the environment and society as well. We do not use unnecessary synthetic chemicals in our formulations. That means your will find no SLS, SLES, Artificial Colours, Fragrances, Parfum, Parabens, Petroleum products, GMOs, Mineral Oils, Microbeads, Propylene Glycol or Lanolin in your purchases. All of our packaging is recyclable and reusable. Our glass bottles can be returned to us to be professionally cleaned and refilled with the product of your choice.

Why Mens’ care?
I never really thought about men’s care until I met my husband. He of course was tall, light brown hair, blue eyes and gorgeous but with one teensy weensy flaw…. he had the driest skin in England!!!
One day while sitting in our favourite pub, The Shakespeare in Canterbury, I asked him why, in spite of the many and various men’s skincare products out there, did he not use anything on his skin?
His answer was not the usual ‘guys don’t need use skin products’ that is usually trotted out by men who do not want to engage in the conversation. The answer he gave was telling … he said “all the stuff out there always leaves me feeling like I have been covered in grease or disappears within 5mins and I am still left with dry skin”.
I took this on board and decided to relegate all the work I was doing on women’s skincare to the back burner and work on a product for men that would fulfil the above brief; no greasy residue and lasts all day.
I succeeded! We had a great base which fulfilled the brief but when I presented this marvel to my husband he then said ‘ But it has no smell! At which point I rolled my eyes and asked “so what kind of smells do men like?” his anwer was a classic..”i don’t know something fresh” GRRR!
Back I went to my little lab space (otherwise known as the spare room) and concocted several ‘fresh’ smells form the essential oils I had to hand and came up with an amazing citrus blend. He loved it and so did the other men I got to try it! And my first product was born and it was designed for men.
Men want to look after their skin but they cannot be fobbed of with ‘manly smelling stuff’ that doesn’t suit their personality or body chemistry.
With the men’s care range at Concept:Skin, I have designed andcreated products that fulfil the need to not have dry skin that will crack and flake but that also doesn’t leave you feeling a greasy mess which will have an effect on your confidence and performance.
We thrive on creating products that enhance body and mid and our men’s care range delivers just that.
About me
My name is Chioma Esther Copeman and I am the founder of the skincare company CONCEPT:SKIN Ltd.a business that creates skincare for the soul and body.
I fell in love with making skincare in my first ever lab session while studying Pharmacy at uni. We made aqueous cream… and I got it right the first time! It was glorious. Unfortunately it took me the next 14yrs to remember how much I loved that moment. In the mean time of course I had a career as a pharmacist, got a mortgage … never did get round to getting the dog but I was never as happy as I was in that lab making aqueous cream.
So I decided to do something about that. In 2014, I got rid of the job ( I definitely was no longer engaged with it), the house, got a husband ( yes I know …they are for life and not just for Christmas)… and plucked up the courage to start my skincare business.
It was the best decision EVER! I finally get to do what I love and I get to change the world! Yes I can hear your scepticism , How can skincare change the world?
I’ll tell you how, I decided to create skincare that cares for the person within as well as outer shell; skincare that can restore the person within to their highest potential allowing them to flourish and thrive.
I love what I do and so will you.
