PEVA UK partners with The Archer Project to support people experiencing homelessness in Sheffield

PEVA UK, a leading professional skin protection company with a 55-year heritage in Germany, has donated a three-month supply of their hand soaps and seven dispensers to The Archer Project in Sheffield.

Following their successful UK market entry in October 2024, PEVA UK specialises in professional skin protection solutions, offering a comprehensive range of products from industrial-grade hand cleansers to gentle formulations suitable for sensitive skin and frequent use.

The Archer Project, which has been supporting people experiencing homelessness in Sheffield for over three decades, provides services to help individuals transform their lives, including building independence, addressing behavioural challenges, and enhancing overall wellbeing. The charity’s social enterprises offer supported employment through customer service and hand screen-printing at Printed by Us, as well as cleaning services through Just Clean.

Sian, Social Enterprise Lead at Just Clean, said: “Many thanks to Darren and the team at PEVA for their incredibly generous donation of hand soap and dispensers for our bathrooms at The Archer Project.”

Talya, Communications & Fundraising Officer at The Archer Project, added: “As an organisation that supports many at-risk individuals in Sheffield, having access to essential hygiene products is very important for our beneficiaries.”

PEVA UK’s full product range includes protective barrier creams, daily cleansing solutions, restorative skincare and a selection of dispensers. The company also exclusively uses natural abrasives instead of plastic particles in all of their formulations.

Darren Isherwood, National Sales Manager at PEVA UK, said: “We’re delighted to support The Archer Project and their incredible work in the Sheffield community.

“As a company committed to professional skin protection and hygiene solutions, we believe everyone should have access to quality hand care products. We look forward to building a lasting relationship with The Archer Project and exploring ways to extend our support in the future.”

The Link Between Skin Health and Workplace Safety

Dry skin poses a significant occupational hazard that extends beyond winter months. Multiple factors can compromise skin health, including exposure to cold temperatures, harsh cleaning products, workplace chemicals, and varying moisture levels. These conditions can lead to a weakened skin barrier.

During winter, the risk intensifies as employees move between cold outdoor environments and heated indoor spaces. This temperature fluctuation causes increased trans-epidermal water loss, leading to moisture depletion in the skin’s upper layers.

When skin becomes dry and damaged, it develops micro-fissures that increase vulnerability to harmful substances and pathogens. For professionals whose work depends on maintaining healthy skin barriers, this presents a serious concern.

In today’s industrial workplaces, skin protection goes beyond basic cleanliness, it’s essential for maintaining optimal health and safety standards. Our products PEVASTAR and PEVASTAR SOFT lead the field in industrial hand-cleaning technology. Combined with PEVAPERM (a skin protectant used before work) and PEVALIND (an after-work skin care lotion that regenerates skin overnight), they provide a scientifically advanced solution for workplace skin protection.

PEVASTAR: Advanced Protection Technology

  • Advanced Natural Moisturising Complex which features coconut-derived moisturising agents, ensuring a replacement of fats in the epidermis and reducing the risk of dry skin after cleaning.
  • Dermatologically tested and proven safe for normal skin through extensive clinical testing.
  • Our concentrated formula achieves cost optimisation by requiring just 3 ml per application, making it highly economical while maintaining premium quality

PEVASTAR SOFT: Gentle Yet Powerful

  • Precision-ground walnut shell particle technology for thorough yet gentle cleansing
  • This formulation enhances moisturising with a high concentration of coconut acid-based moisturising agents that is around 50% higher than standard formulations
  • Specially formulated and tested for sensitive skin

We understand that each industry faces distinct challenges. Our technical experts provide customised skin protection plans based on comprehensive workplace assessments, considering your specific environmental conditions, contamination types, and employee needs.

RSH Group Appointed as Key Distributor for PEVA UK’s Professional Skin Protection Range

PEVA UK has announced the appointment of the company’s first official distributor, as they expand the availability of their professional skin protection products across British industries.

Sheffield-based Rubber Safety and Hygiene (RSH Group) is the first company to come on board as a PEVA UK key distributor. As a leading supplier of industrial products specialising in industrial rubber, PPE, corporate clothing, and cleaning supplies, RSH Group is a great fit for PEVA UK.

PEVA UK, with its 55-year heritage in Germany, brings to the British market an extensive range of professional skin protection products, including protective barrier creams, daily skin cleansing solutions, and restorative skincare products. The company is known for its commitment to environmental responsibility, using only natural abrasives in its products instead of plastic particles.

With their distribution network growing, opportunities for other PEVA UK distributors remain limited. The company continues to carefully select partners across various industries to ensure comprehensive market coverage while maintaining exclusive territories for existing distributors.

Josh Weaver, Group Purchasing Manager at RSH Group, said: “We’re excited to be working with PEVA UK to bring their innovative skin protection products to British industries. PEVA UK stands out for offering products that combine exceptional value with all-natural ingredients, delivering superior skin protection, particularly for those working in heavy-duty environments.

“We look forward to strengthening PEVA’s UK presence in the market and helping to establish their reputation for excellence in professional skin protection.”
