About Elavate:
Want to play a key part in scaling one of the UK's fastest-growing wellness brands? Elavate was launched in early 2024 with a primary goal of helping women achieve their skin goals, with science-backed Collagen. Since then we've rapidly grown to service over 10,000 Subscribers and we have an ambitious goal of becoming the UK's biggest Collagen brand in the next 24 months. Elavate was born after our Founder, Alex Philip, had enough of buying overpriced, low quality and foul tasting Collagen supplements for his mother.
