Our Story

The S5 journey began with our own skin care experiences. We spent many years searching for products that were right for our skin. We’d found that avoiding harsh synthetics made a real difference, and that natural products worked best, but we weren’t completely happy with the results we had seen. For problematic or ageing skin, ‘normal’ natural just wasn’t enough. That was when we decided to develop s5, the first organic cosmeceutical range.

Through extensive research we discovered that the root of many skin problems is skin stress, caused by irritation, environmental damage and lifestyle factors. This stress damages the skin, leading to premature ageing (known as inflammaging).

We scoured the globe looking for natural ingredients that performed as well as the synthetic ingredients used elsewhere. What we discovered surprised us. The natural ingredients we found delivered not only comparable results to their synthetic counterparts, but in many cases far superior clinical results.

Then we realised an incredible fact: the most powerful natural actives can be found in the earth’s most extreme ecosystems, where the plants themselves overcome extreme stress to fight for survival and constantly adapt to stay youthful and healthy. This is the power behind S5.

S5 is the creation of Good Ventures, a team of  product development specialists dedicated to organic skin care brands. Evolve skincare is also a Good Ventures brand.

S5 is the first range of certified organic cosmeceuticals. All S5 products are EcoCert certified organic and use only 100% natural active ingredients. S5 is ideal for sensitive skin and is free from Parabens, SLS/SLES, PEGS, DEA, Mineral Oil, Silicon, Propylene Glycol, GMO and synthetic fragrances.
