Violaine Bargues - Head of Product

Originally from Bordeaux in France, I have over 12 years experience working in the beauty industry. After having spent most of my holidays as a teenager helping my aunt working in a “parfumerie” in the South of France, my love for beauty products emerged at a very young age! I always knew that I wanted to work in the Beauty industry and my dream became reality when I landed a job working in the Marketing department of the thriving spa brand Elemis in London. After a few years in the Marketing department, I decided to specialise in the Product Development side of the business on all the Elemis award winning products including the highly acclaimed and successful Pro-Collagen Marine range.

Laura head hunted me from Elemis to set up Nude Skincare with her. Working with Laura on the soon to be sold to LVMH brand, we built an extensive industry knowledge and travelled the world to source the most effective, natural and environmentally friendly ingredients and packaging.

When Laura offered to join her in her new venture, developing natural and ethical beauty brands, I jumped at the opportunity and I have not looked back since!

I absolutely adore anything to do with beauty products and love nothing more than “getting my hands dirty” – in the beauty world that’s testing products and covering myself head to toe in lab samples!

We have worked very hard on EVOLVE to bring you the most highly effective organic skincare range on the market. I am passionate about this range, they are great products, I hope you love them as much as we do.
