Our Journey
Skin Is Our Passion
For us, skin is a passion. With this mindset, Minna Heikkilä — Finland and Estonia’s long-standing vitamin A expert — began her work in the field.
Since 2002, Heikkilä has focused almost full-time on studying vitamin A, while also participating in professional training across Finland, Estonia, and internationally. Over the years, she has shared her expertise by giving lectures and training skincare professionals on the role of vitamin A in skin health.
Heikkilä has worked with Environ from the very beginning. The brand was introduced to Finland following a plastic surgery conference in 2002, and she has been closely involved ever since. While helping bring the product line to market, she was able to observe firsthand the results it achieved in treating sun damage and other skin concerns.
In 2011, Heikkilä became the official importer of Environ. The brand later expanded to Estonia, where its products were first introduced in 2015.
Since entering the Estonian market, Environ has grown into a respected professional skincare brand, trusted by skincare professionals across the country. Its effectiveness and results-driven approach have also been recognized through multiple awards in local beauty competitions, further strengthening its reputation as a leading name in advanced skincare.
Skincare That Actually Works
The skincare market is constantly evolving. We have been following its development for over twenty years. Instead of chasing trends or collecting countless brands, we believe in three core principles when it comes to skincare: the expertise of professionals who care for skin every day, a deep understanding of the body’s largest organ — the skin — and a results-driven product line rooted in proven science.
In our experience, effective skincare does not require reinventing the wheel — and less is more. We do not believe in quick fixes or temporary solutions, but in consistent, long-term care that delivers lasting, visible results over time.
We know the professionals, vitamin A, and Environ. That is why we created Skinstep — a service that gives you the essential steps to achieve beautiful skin for life.
