Oriflame, the multinational direct selling company in Sri Lanka, moved to their new office on 1 November 2013. Located at No. 39/2, D.S. Senanayake Mawatha, Colombo 8, the new location is easily accessible with ample parking space, making it more conducive for meetings and customer service. This facility has its own conference room and tanning centre along with a streamlined service centre.
Oriflame has been in Sri Lanka since 1997 selling natural skin care and cosmetics through a wide network of independent sales consultants. While its head office is situated in Colombo, the organisation serves its island-wide network of consultants through five branch offices.
This new location in Colombo 8 will give Oriflame Sri Lanka the opportunity to demonstrate its range of high quality products with enhanced customer service and support.
Speaking at the opening, Managing Director Sanjay Pushkarna said: “We strongly believe that that our new location will offer Oriflame independent sales consultants easy access and a very a personalised and enhanced service.”
The ‘Oriflame Opportunity Meeting’ followed the grand opening with 250 participants who were enlightened by Oriflames’ product presentation and attractive offers while experiencing the facilities in the new office.
Among the many events that took place, the Oriflame Leaders who achieved their new titles received cash awards.
Plant stem cell cultures
Innovation and technological advancements have always been at the forefront for Oriflame and the international beauty company announced a significant investment in the cultivation of its own plant stem cell cultures in the search for sustainable anti-ageing active ingredients for its products. The aim is to make affordable products with pure and highly sustainable anti-ageing active ingredients.
This innovative capability will allow Oriflame to develop powerful anti-ageing ingredients that can boost and rejuvenate ageing skin.
As a company that has always respected environmental and ethical concerns, it is taking action to better manage natural resources and significantly lower its ecological footprint.
“Oriflame strives to innovate through science, explore new ingredients and seek new ways to bring nature’s goodness to our products in a sustainable manner. The use of plant stem cells reflects our core identity of fulfilling dreams in a natural, progressive and ethical way,” said Oriflame Skin Research Director Dr. Alain Mavon.
The announcement marks another significant innovation for Oriflame and is part of its enduring commitment to become a truly sustainable company. Oriflame’s work on plant stem cells began in December 2012 at its Skin Research Institute in Stockholm.
In addition to installing a state of the art Plant Cell Culture laboratory in-house, Oriflame has also entered into a collaborative partnership with Swedish company In-Vitro Plant-tech AB, specialised in bio-manufacturing of cell cultures and explants from medicinal plants.
