7 HOPES LONDON: Pioneering skincare innovation beyond boundaries

By Hazem Elsawaf, Founder & Managing Director

In a world saturated with beauty brands and cosmetic trends, true innovation often comes from those willing to challenge the norm and merge science with passion.

At 7 HOPES LONDON, our story isn’t just about skincare — it’s about pushing the limits of possibility.

Founded with a bold vision to bridge pharmaceutical-grade expertise with cosmetic elegance, 7 HOPES LONDON has evolved into one of the UK’s most dynamic R&D and manufacturing powerhouses, offering white-label and bespoke product development services to clients around the world.

This year, our journey reached new heights. We were proud to receive the Silver Award for SME Innovation, a recognition sponsored by Lenovo and HSBC, celebrating our commitment to scientific excellence, sustainable practices, and next-gen skincare solutions. This award is not only a milestone — it’s a signal that true innovation is recognized when it serves both performance and purpose.

Adding to this momentum, I was recently honoured to serve as an Official Judge at in-cosmetics Global, the world’s leading skincare R&D exhibition. Judging the “Rising Star Award” was a humbling experience — one that allowed me to witness the incredible spirit of creativity rising across the next generation of skincare entrepreneurs.

But our proudest breakthrough lies in the science we are helping shape.

At 7 HOPES LONDON, we have introduced one of the UK’s first Exosome-based Skincare Platforms — a cutting-edge advancement harnessing the regenerative power of cellular communication. Exosomes, nanovesicles derived from stem cells, are paving a new era in skincare longevity, offering extraordinary potential in collagen stimulation, pigmentation correction, and overall skin rejuvenation.

Our EXOSOME line marks a revolutionary chapter not just for us, but for every brand seeking to lead with science, integrity, and results.

As we continue to grow — expanding globally with new R&D centres, university collaborations, and groundbreaking projects — our mission remains crystal clear: To transform the way beauty is created, delivered, and experienced.

At 7 HOPES LONDON, we don’t follow trends. We create the future of skincare.
