What we do
CelRevive's empathetic approach to skincare stems from our founder's own cancer journey.
Inspired to develop skincare for those facing similar challenges, our goal is to create products that cut above the noise.
Because we know that skincare is self-care.
CelRevive collaborates with leading dermatologists, skincare experts, and formulation chemists to ensure the efficacy, safety, and suitability of our products. Our claims are thoroughly backed by rigorous testing and certification in ways that most competitors don't.
While our formulations are clinical, our approach is human. From purchase to disposal, all our products are designed to create a holistic customer experience that not only works but also positively impacts their lives.
Our story
CelRevive is born from our founder Theresa’s aspiration to support women undergoing radiation and chemotherapy during breast cancer treatment.
As a brand founded by a chemist and cancer survivor, our unique expertise and experience sharpens our focus, bringing unparalleled clarity to our products.
All CelRevive products are created to address the specific needs of individuals undergoing cancer treatment and grappling with the side effects. We want to continue building an unequivocally trusted brand for its quality and benefits.
As our product line expands, Theresa aims to continue offering solace and practical assistance with skincare that works.
Our sustainability approach
At CelRevive, we're all about keeping it green and sustainable. We pick ingredients that are not only friendly to the environment but also sourced responsibly, supporting farmers in doing things the right way.
We love using upcycled and sustainable ingredients as part of our mission for a circular economy. Choosing these ingredients helps cut down on waste and saves resources.
All CelRevive products are packed in post-consumer recycled material and are 100% recyclable. We believe that taking care of yourself should go hand in hand with caring for the planet.
A letter from the founder
Hello, I am Theresa Tobin. Thank you for supporting my journey of establishing CelRevive.
I received a diagnosis of breast cancer in 2021 during a regular check-up and was fortunate that the cancer was in an early stage.
During my radiation therapy, my oncologist emphasised the importance of keeping the radiated area well-hydrated and moisturised to prevent dryness and reduce side effects.
Upon examining the ingredients of the cream provided by the hospital, with my qualification as a personal care formulation chemist who has been working in the beauty industry for over 25 years, I immediately knew there were alternative ingredients that could provide more potent efficacy, while being more gentle and less irritating on the skin.
I spent time to understand cancer treatment related skin toxicity and dermatitis conditions and conducted extensive research on natural ingredients that strengthen skin barrier function, prevent trans-epidermal water loss (TEWL), provide long lasting moisturising benefits, soothe irritation and reduce redness.
I pioneered a unique combination of three ingredients - lactobacillus ferment lysate (postbiotics), upcycled bilberry seed oil and Tasmanian pepper berry. My skin condition improved significantly, garnering praise from nurses and doctors alike. After extensive testing and clinical trials, B-Restore™ Barrier Cream exists to support others in a similar situation.
Through my personal journey with cancer, I understand the daily challenges that cancer patients are going through and appreciate the difference that effective and considered skin care can offer – mitigating side effects and providing peace of mind.
I just wanted to share with you all how important early breast cancer screening is in saving lives. It's something that I'm deeply passionate about, and I truly believe that it can make a huge difference in people's lives. On another note, I've been working on creating a premium skincare range that I hope will help people with their skin concerns. I want it to be more than just skincare - I want it to be a source of comfort and peace of mind for those who use it. My goal is to help people embrace life and enjoy every moment without worrying about their skin.
Kindest regards,
Theresa Tobin (founder)
