iiaa Co-founder

After discovering Environ around the same time it launched in 1990 and instantly falling in love with the range, Tracy wanted to share the unbelievable results she so quickly saw in her skin. Her relentless belief in the products (and her undoubtedly incredible skin) were what successfully drove her mission forwards to educate, inspire and empower skincare professionals in the UK and Ireland – and it was this passion for education that led Tracy to create the iiaa with her husband David. Together, they spearheaded an evolutionary approach to skincare that encompasses everything Tracy believes in and has learned over her years in the industry.
