At the intersection of adventure and innovation, Explorer’s Glow has carved out a unique space in the skincare industry. Founded by Jerome, the brand was born from a passion for the outdoors and a desire to create skincare that keeps up with an active lifestyle. The result? Pure Vitalis—a high-performance serum designed for those who live life on the edge. Jerome’s journey is a testament to perseverance, vision, and a deep connection to nature.
“I wanted to create a skincare solution built for adventurers, designed to perform in the real world, not just in a lab,” Jerome explains. “If a product can protect your skin in the most demanding conditions, it can certainly handle everyday life.”
Explorer’s Glow began with a simple yet powerful mission: to offer high-quality, minimalist skincare solutions that enhance natural beauty and protect skin, no matter where life takes you. The brand was born out of frustration—Jerome and a team of outdoor enthusiasts couldn’t find products that could keep up with their love for the outdoors. They believed skincare should be as straightforward and authentic as the great outdoors itself.
Partnering with top cosmetic laboratories, they formulated Pure Vitalis using the finest natural ingredients, rigorously tested in diverse environments to ensure the highest standards of quality and effectiveness. Their approach challenges the cluttered, hyper-specialized world of skincare by offering powerful, all-in-one products that simplify your routine. With Explorer’s Glow, less truly is more.
More than 20 outdoor enthusiasts volunteered to test different formulas for over a year, contributing to the development of the perfect product. The result was Pure Vitalis, a unisex, holistic serum designed to work as hard as you do—whether you’re hiking a mountain trail, at the office, or relaxing at home.
“Our vision was to deliver skincare that reflects our shared values: a commitment to quality, a belief in the power of nature, and a passion for adventure,” Jerome says.
With Pure Vitalis, Explorer’s Glow has redefined skincare for outdoor enthusiasts, proving that simplicity and performance can go hand in hand. It’s more than a product—it’s a celebration of the freedom and joy that comes from living life to the fullest
From the mountains to the market: The birth of explorer’s Glow
Jerome’s entrepreneurial journey began not in a boardroom, but on the trails, peaks, and rivers where she spent countless hours pushing her limits. As an outdoor enthusiast, she experienced firsthand the toll that harsh environmental conditions—wind, sun, cold, and dry air—can take on the skin. Frustrated by the lack of skincare products that could keep up with her active lifestyle, she set out to create something different.
“We wanted to create a skincare solution built for adventurers, designed to perform in the real world, not just in a lab,” Jerome explains. “If a product can protect your skin in the most demanding conditions, it can certainly handle everyday life.”
This vision led to the creation of Pure Vitalis, a minimalist, all-in-one serum that combines deep hydration, skin barrier protection, and recovery support. Infused with Sodium Hyaluronate Crosspolymer, an advanced form of hyaluronic acid, the serum locks in moisture for hours, even in extreme conditions. It’s lightweight, fast-absorbing, and designed to simplify skincare for people on the move.
Overcoming obstacles: Challenges and successes
Launching Explorer’s Glow was no easy feat. They faced the daunting task of breaking into an industry dominated by well-established brands with massive marketing budgets. But they refused to be deterred. Instead of following traditional beauty industry norms, they focused on authenticity, performance, and a deep connection with the outdoor community.
“We didn’t want to be just another skincare brand,” Jerome says. “We wanted to create a movement—one that celebrates real skin, real adventures, and real results.”
One of the biggest challenges was product development. Jerome and his team of 20 passionate outdoor enthusiasts spent over a year brainstorming, testing, and refining formulas. They worked with multiple laboratories to perfect the blend of Sodium Hyaluronate Crosspolymer, vitamins C, E, and B5, and natural extracts like Paeonia Lactiflora Root Extract. The result?
A serum that not only hydrates but also shields the skin from environmental stressors and promotes long-term skin health.
Sustainability and innovation: A core mission
For Jerome, sustainability isn’t just a buzzword—it’s a core value. Explorer’s Glow is committed to reducing its environmental impact through initiatives like refillable packaging and local production.
“We’re not perfect, but we’re constantly striving to do better,” Jerome admits. “Our goal is to create highly effective skincare that respects both the skin and the planet.”
The brand is also pioneering a gender-neutral approach to skincare, rejecting traditional marketing stereotypes in favor of science-backed, inclusive solutions. “Skincare should be about performance, not marketing labels,” Jerome emphasizes. “Whether you’re an outdoor adventurer, an athlete, or someone simply looking for a powerful yet simple skincare solution, you deserve a product designed for your skin—not your gender.”
What’s next for explorer’s glow?
Jerome’s vision for Explorer’s Glow extends far beyond skincare. He sees the brand as a platform for environmental and social change. In the coming months, he plans to expand the product line with a non-greasy, high-protection SPF and introduce a refill system to reduce plastic waste.
“We’re just getting started,” Jerome says. “Our mission is to create high-performance skincare for outdoor enthusiasts while actively contributing to a more sustainable future.”
Taking Innovation Further
To push the boundaries of innovation, Explorer’s Glow is actively seeking new ingredients, laboratories, and production partners. Jerome explains. “We’ll be attending Cosmoprof in Bologna, one of the world’s most important trade fair for the beauty industry. We’re eager to expand our partnerships and find a European producer who shares our values of quality, sustainability, and innovation”
Expanding the Community of Testers
For Explorer’s Glow, real-world performance is the ultimate test. That’s why they’re expanding their community of testers—and they welcome everyone to join. Outdoor enthusiasts, athletes, travelers, and anyone passionate about skincare and adventure can participate in testing and refining future products.
“Skincare shouldn’t be developed in a lab alone—it should be proven in nature,” Jerome says.
By involving their community in the development process, Explorer’s Glow ensures that their products are not only effective but also tailored to the needs of real adventurers. It’s a testament to their commitment to creating skincare that works as hard as you do.
