A Game-changing Inspirer – Graziella Gallelli: Betting Her Skin with Transderma Serums for You to Make Yours the Most Resilient Skin

Just like you, your skin, too, is always in the game—the game of survival, believed Graziella Gallelli, celebrated today as ‘The Most Inspiring Visionary Leader Shaping the Modern Industry.’ When we congratulated for her receiving such an honor, Graziella replied in gratitude, “Thank you for this prestigious Honor to present myself to you and your readers. I am grateful and delighted you chose me!”

Graziella’s love of beauty and science and the struggles with her own skin started a new career. During that period working at a Beauty counter at a major department store enhancing women’s beauty, one thing always intrigued Graziella, SKIN! She recalls, “Make-up was wonderful to enhance and camouflage the skin yet I couldn’t improve their skin. Why?..” She asked herself. “Was there a way to produce skincare products for all people regardless of their ethnicities and for all skin types?”

This intrigue made Graziella approach Dr. Alvin Ronlán Docent, PhD, Doctor of Bio Organic Chemistry with more than 30 years of experience in the field of vitamins therapy for the skin, with her questions:

“Could we produce vitamin serums for the skin that I knew were so essential for collagen production and so many other benefits, but with no harsh chemicals, no preservatives and not irritate the skin?”

So Transderma Serums, and ProBios Laboratories Inc, were born.

“Wow”—Skincare with No Preservatives at All!

ProBios Laboratories, Inc. was founded to promote discoveries made by Dr. Alvin Ronlán over the course of thirty years of research in the fields of vitamin therapy for the skin, and Probiotics – live bacteria which promote health and counteract disease. Gut health also affects skin health, informs Graziella, who as told earlier, struggled with her own skin. She adds, “Just like my customers, I tried every product on the market working in the beauty industry.” She continues that she had all the brands available to her, yet her skin suffered and she spent so much money on products she eventually had to throw away. “I knew that we could do better in the industry.” Preservatives can be very allergenic to the skin, so with Doctor Ronláns’ expertise in the field of vitamin therapy Graziella and her team developed serums with ‘No Preservatives at all!’

“Just pure ingredients your skin craves,” she smiles her beautiful grin.

Transderma has brought together the most innovative technology and the most precious natural ingredients to create exceptionally pure, scientifically advanced skincare serums for women and men.

You Must Have It to Believe It!

As a woman leading a skincare brand, Graziella’s personal journey as a female entrepreneur shaped the values, culture, and decision-making at Transderma. At first there were immense challenges, she says. “I have struggled to make my ideas heard, and bring forth innovation and be told, it could not be done, that I needed much more funding, that the public didn’t care about ‘organic’ serums that could perform via transdermal absorption, not to use water.”

She continues, “I think my persistence, diplomacy, sensitivity to customer’s needs, to work at the lab every day and to knock on doors and present the brand as we also produced probiotics.” They were not very popular 28 years ago, many were skeptical when Graziella said the microflora in the gut also influenced the skin, she proved it could be done. In 1998, they only had one serum, ‘Transderma C Vitamin C serum’ with only two ingredients. “I was laughed at that I could build a brand with one serum, today we have five serums in the line.”

She Struggled to Give You Peace of Mind

No Preservatives. No Water. No Artificial colours. And No Animal Testing. “I still struggle…we are a very small company,” says Graziella with a deep pride in her voice. Yet, instead of going for shortcuts, she always chose what is ethical. Her emphasis on organic, all-natural ingredients that are gentle yet effective has their roots deeply grounded in her own experiences with skin health. It influences her philosophy on what should, or should not, go into a skincare formula.

Graziella shares that earlier she struggled to find products that were effective, yet gentle. “I wanted an uncomplicated and simple regime to enhance my skin, and give my skin what it needed, that it could ‘identify’ with the ingredients.” Many companies just pile so many ingredients one on top of the other, this can be confusing to the mind and your skin.

She explains that our skin is our first line of defense and subjected to incredible amounts of environmental stress. To remain resilient and attractive, no matter the circumstances, the skin needs nourishment that reaches the deeper layers where moisture balance and elasticity are regulated. For more than three decades, Dr. Alvin Ronlán has conducted research in the fields of natural antioxidants and vitamin-compounds that can help the skin maintain its vitality. “Applying his scientific expertise, we collaborated together to develop five revolutionary serums to replace other more complicated skincare programs,’ she informs.

Transderma serums contain no superfluous synthetic compounds, instead using just a few carefully selected, all-natural active ingredients with the power to increase cellular activity and transform the appearance of the skin.

Being Different to Make a Difference

Graziella assures that at Transderma they seek to make a difference and be the difference in demystifying the skincare industry. They strive to educate and empower consumers to make safe skincare choices by offering products with minimal, natural ingredients proven to be highly effective. They create the most scientifically advanced skincare products while still providing their consumers a simple routine for taking care of their skin. She adds, “We believe beauty and harmony reflect the inward and outward appearance of the skin, for both women and men, and develop our products for a global reach.”

Transderma is designed for all ages and skin types. As she interacted with real customers, their stories impacted the way Graziella and her team refines or expand their product line. She cites, “As I listened to their stories, I could identify with my own needs. All our serums are stand alone and for all skin types.”

From One to Five Serums

The company started out with just one serum, Transderma C Vitamin C Serum daytime. It helps with collagen production and as Graziella spoke to the customers and again based on her own needs, a nighttime serum was needed, they asked for a retinol serum but tended to shy away from the harsh irritation that retinols can have on the skin. “So we developed a retinol serum that was gentle yet extremely effective, without the redness and peeling that can sometimes be caused by retinols to sensitive skins.”

“We also needed a moisturizer that didn’t just sit on the skin, but helped to repair the natural moisture barrier. Most moisturizers are 65-80% water that just sit on the skin, we have no water in our serums.”

Making Those Cells Alive Again

Graziella further informs that the Scandinavian skin is sensitive and the harsh winter months can make the skin very dry, so they developed tour Transderma M moisturizer serum, keeping these conditions in mind.

“Pigmentation was a problem with many of our Asian customers, so we kept them in mind when I help develop Transderma R retinol serums to help reduce the pigmentation and brighten the skin,” reveals Graziella.

Their Transderma O serum, although, is for all skins, it is especially suited for mature, sun damaged skin. It helps the mitochondria, the powerhouse of the cells to energize the skin. Also, their skin formula with B vitamins, niacinamide, and their innovating formula with Bio PQQ, present in all living cells, believed to come to earth with meteorites and stardust.

“Truly Unique!”

Graziella further says that Transderma is very proud to be a Swedish brand, and they celebrate to be coveted by their Swedish industry peers. “It is an exceptional honor for us,” she adds. “Simplicity and balance are key to Swedish sensibilities.” These attributes are integral to Transderma serums, as well. The Transderma line is composed of five deep-absorbing serums, each designed to deliver focused benefits to the skin. The number of ingredients in each serum is purposely kept as limited as possible to achieve the desired effect, and each ingredient is chosen based not only on its individual merits, but also its ability to form a harmonious unit with the other ingredients in the serum.

Getting Over Challenges

When she looks back at her over three decades of research-driven journey at Transderma, Graziella says that the greatest challenge was creating, formulating products with no preservatives, no water that could be effective and safe. “It made me resilient and committed.” Yet, committed to clean and pure ingredients can be demanding in terms of sourcing and production. Here, Graziella’s personal ethics and lifestyle choices show up in the standards she set for Transderma. As she puts it, “Honesty, committed to being ethical and kind. I appreciate Science. Love life, as caring for people.”

Feeling the Touch of a Layered Spirit

Many people use skincare as a form of self-care and confidence-building. Yet, since Graziella likes simplicity, healthy living, taking care of her skin and mind, this relationship of hers with beauty and self-confidence influence the way she designs and positions her products. “Feeding my soul and body with good thoughts and clean food,” she puts.

As a woman-owned company aiming to help people ‘look and feel their best,’ when asked about how does she personally define inner and outer beauty, and how does that definition guide her daily work, Graziella says: “Beauty is my business. Fashion is my passion. Interests away from the mirror is my lifestyle.”

Legacy of Healthy Lifestyle & A Beautiful Smile

Innovation is central to Transderma’s identity. When further asked about what personal habits, inspirations, and routines help her stay creative and open to new scientific ideas in skincare, Graziella simply says that she goes to sleep early and wakes up early, cooks fresh food, walks daily and practice prayer and try to be fair and kind always, with a smile.

Finally, when asked about the kind of legacy she hopes to create through Transderma, not just for the brand, but for future women entrepreneurs and for everyone who trusts her products with their skin, Graziella says, “To never be complacent, to be health conscious, environmentally responsible, nurturing with a motivated Heathy Lifestyle.”

“To Age is a privilege’ & the best asset a woman can have is her smile!” she concludes with stars shining in her glowing gaze.
