Working with Kim Lahiri
“Kim Lahiri is a fountain of knowledge”
“Starting a new job with a new group of colleagues can be daunting. I first met Kim at a meeting to discuss developing plant-based treatment for skin diseases and found her to be not only very knowledgeable but also very warm and friendly. After a few minutes it seemed that we had known each other for years. From that first meeting we have now developed a close and supportive relationship which has been pivotal in the growth of Dermabiosciences.
“Kim is a fountain of knowledge in plant-based preparations and in the cosmetic industry, which I knew very little about. She has been able to source plant extracts from around the world with her personal contacts and advised about licensing, preparing and packaging products. On a personal level, we share a passion for plants and gardening and have spent time sharing our enthusiasm for horticulture. We communicate regularly and I can always rely on Kim to help solve problems we encounter. She is an essential member of the team and one of my favourite colleagues.”
Tony Chu, Professor of Dermatology
“Kim Lahiri is an extraordinary blend of plant molecule guru, clinician, therapist and artist. Her knowledge is formidable and watching her put it into practice has been a privilege.”
Warren Noronha, founder of Luqist
“Great ideas need to be nurtured from small beginnings to great vision”
KIM LAHIRI, FOUNDER, SIMPLE ESSENTIALS
“I thoroughly recommend Kim Lahiri”
“Kim is a recognised expert in the field of Aromachology and Aromatherapy and a pleasure to work with. She came highly recommended to me via a number of high-profile experts in the fragrance industry and was a vital asset to my Knowledge Transfer Fellowship with Philips. I thoroughly recommend her as someone to work with and to learn from as I have done over the past 2 years.
Dr Jenny Tillotson, FRSA
The Wonder of Nature
Human evolution on this planet has incorporated the use of plants for everything from food, clothing, shelter, baskets and most important of all medicine.
Traditional Herbal Medicine (THM), Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as well as Ayurvedic principles and many other native indigenous practices look to the immense wealth of healing plants found in Nature. Flowers, leaves, twigs, bark, roots, seeds and fungi are just some of the sources that can be used to extract and define the molecules and compounds that constitute Nature’s Pharmacy. Plant extracts contain multiple natural therapeutics with medicinal solutions for common ailments.
“Fresh air is as good for the mind as for the body. Nature always seems to be trying to talk to us, as if she has some great secret to share. And so she has.”
John Lubbock, The Secrets of Plants
