Love in action looks like learning, listening and leaning into difference. One woman's story about caring for her sisters reminded us of why we started the Eumel brand: to make space for real care-the kind that sees you, understands you, and honours every layer of who you are. Read the full story below.

At a recent business event, I met a woman whose story deeply impacted me. She is English, and her father, also English had married a woman from Kenya.

We are delighted that London Ethnic Skin Limited will be exhibiting at the "Made in the UK, Sold to the World" roadshow taking place in Oxford on July 16th 2025. The roadshow sheds a spotlight on the Life Sciences. Our founder and director, Dr Ophelia E. Dadzie will be present at the event to discuss: 1) our collaborative research on a new human skin colour scale-the Eumelanin Human Skin Colour Scale; developing a software application to classify human skin colour based on skin melanin content (credit: Dr Ophelia E.

Study after study consistently demonstrates that when it comes to "women of colour"/"black women", cosmetic products marketed towards this cohort are disproportionately likely to contain potentially hazardous chemicals compared to products marketed to other consumer groups. The new data out now is about synthetic hair used for braiding-which have been found to contain a host of dangerous chemicals, including unsafe levels of lead, benzene etc. This is really appalling. When we talk about equity and public health-these issues are pivotal and must be addressed. This is one of our motivations for setting up Mia Pelle (our online platform that gives consumers access to high quality skin and hair care products, as well as a customised product recommendation tool) and Eumel (a specialist hair care range developed by Dr Dadzie).

CR tested 10 of the most popular synthetic braiding hair products for heavy metals and VOCs. We found carcinogens and more in 100 percent of the samples.

Do you need a complicated skincare routine, or is a cleanser enough? And what about sugar, sleep, stress and smoking?

As we look forward to 2025 we would like to take time to reflect on a very productive 2024 for our group of companies. Eumel (a trading name for London Ethnic Skin Limited), has filed a patent in Luxembourg (European Patent Office) for three shampoos (to be launched in 2025 on the Mia Pelle website). The Eumel Soothing Scalp Spray continues to be a best seller and is popular with our clients. London Ethnic Skin Limited, has also grown from strength to strength. London Ethnic Skin Limited obtained HRA (Health Research Authority) ethics approval in November 2024, along with our research collaborators, to sponsor and undertake a study to develop a software/app for classifying human skin colour. London Ethnic Skin Limited is also now part of the innovative community at the Wood Centre for Innovation in Oxford (part of the Oxford Trust). What a year 2024 has been!
