Celebrating Jane Scrivner: A Skincare Pioneer for International Women’s Day

As International Women’s Day approaches, I find myself reflecting on the incredible women who have shaped and inspired my journey in the beauty and skincare industry. There’s one name that stands out above all: Jane Scrivner.

I first met Jane over 25 years ago, when I attended a course, she was teaching. From the moment I walked into that room, I knew she was someone special. At the time, I was incredibly shy, and stepping into the world of professional skincare & body training felt overwhelming. But Jane had this natural warmth about her—she was so caring, welcoming, and supportive. She made me feel at ease instantly, and from that moment on, she became a guiding force in my career.

Not only did I complete that course under her expert guidance, but we continued training together over the years. She has always been a mentor to me, someone I have looked up to for everything she has achieved in the industry. Her passion for helping people, educating others, and championing self care is truly inspiring.

A Journey from Beauty Therapy to Skincare Innovation

Jane’s journey started as a health and beauty expert and facialist, working with skin and understanding how it works has been a deep passion and interest for over 30 years. Establishing the British School of Complementary Therapy in 1991, her vision was to share her understanding of the natural healing, repairing and regenerating powers of the whole body, including our skin.

Her work led her around the world, where she studied and sourced the finest natural ingredients to create skincare products that were not just luxurious but also deeply effective. Jane understood that truly great skincare goes beyond surface-level beauty; it’s about feeding the skin what it needs to thrive.

Through it all, Jane remained a dynamic communicator, a hardworking professional, and someone who always made time for others. She has a way of making everyone she works with feel valued, and she is incredibly easy to collaborate with. Even as my own journey took me across the world when I immigrated to Australia, Jane and I stayed in contact. We have built an unspoken trust over the years, always supporting one another professionally and personally.

The Philosophy Behind Jane Scrivner Skincare

Jane’s brand isn’t just about skincare—it’s about skin health. Her philosophy is simple yet powerful: the skin has its own intelligence, and when given the right balance of nourishment and protection, it will naturally restore itself.

She champions the power of natural, high-quality ingredients—cold-pressed oils, plant-based actives, and essential fatty acids that truly support the skin barrier. Her belief in ‘feeding the skin’ aligns so closely with my own approach to skincare. It’s not about quick fixes or trends; it’s about understanding what our skin truly needs and providing it with the best possible care.

As Jane says: “When we give our skin what it needs to function at its best, it repays us with a natural, healthy glow—no fillers, no shortcuts, just real results.”

Leading with Knowledge and Integrity

One of the things I admire most about Jane is her commitment to education. She doesn’t just sell products—she shares knowledge. She empowers her customers with the science behind skincare, ensuring they can make informed choices rather than being misled by beauty industry hype.

In a world where marketing can often overshadow real results, Jane remains steadfast in her integrity. Her approach is refreshingly honest—no gimmicks, no unnecessary complexity, just straightforward, effective skincare that works.

She is also well known in both the UK, Europe and the USA, where she has built a reputation for excellence in the skincare industry. Her expertise is widely recognised, and her influence stretches far beyond product development—she shapes the way people think about skincare.

A Champion for Women in Business

Beyond skincare, Jane has been a mentor and inspiration for women in the industry. She has helped shape careers, guided aspiring entrepreneurs, and demonstrated what’s possible when you lead with passion and expertise.

I have always worked with Jane, and she has always given me opportunities to support her brand and products. Our professional relationship is built on trust, mutual respect, and a shared love for high-quality, effective skincare.

And let’s not forget—Jane is a cat lover! This just adds to the many reasons I adore her. 🐱

Her story is proof that when women support women, incredible things happen. She has paved the way for others to follow their dreams in the beauty world, reminding us that success is built on authenticity, knowledge, and an unwavering commitment to quality.
