Emma Lewisham partners with Melanie Grant

Emma Lewisham has partnered with leading skincare expert, Melanie Grant to educate audiences globally about the evidence-based, natural skincare brand. 

Melanie will partner with the brand on experiences, education and treatments in her Los Angeles Studio. 

"My driving force has always been to celebrate the unique complexion in front of me. It's never about a signature approach, but rather a signature result for the individual at hand," shared Melanie.

"Building a strong, healthy and resilient complexion is empowering – and has the capacity to stand the test of time."

"I was drawn to Emma's formulas for this very reason; they're high performance, multi-purpose, they deliver true results and they're focused on supporting skin function not just skin appearance."

"It's a pleasure to be working alongside another Antipodean and together, to be celebrating an honest expression of optimal skin health," she said.

Emma Lewisham is available at global retailers like Harrods, Liberty, NET-A-PORTER, MECCA and now Melanie Grant Studios.
