While it seems obvious that we should take care of the skin on our bodies just as we do our faces, it’s easy to overlook what’s not in the spotlight. For the 90 percent of our skin below the neck, we can recommend the body care products from Berlin-based Hachiko. The serums and body oils are vegan and unisex, with concentrated and natural formulas that transport nourishing active ingredients and vitamins such as hyaluronic acid and panthenol into the deeper layers of the skin without leaving a sticky or greasy residue. The company has been innovating at its Prenzlauer Berg studio since October 2022, working with key ingredients like Vitamin E, hyaluronic acid, vegetable collagen and bakuchiol. The latter comes from the leaves of the Indian babchi plant and is known for its soothing, regenerating and antioxidant properties that have a powerful anti-aging effect rivaling even retinol (a much sought-after ingredient). The T-01 Intense Hydration & Regeneration Body Treatment combo gives your skin an extra dose of moisture, leaving a radiantly soft finish. Like all the formulas, it absorbs quickly and is suitable for all skin types. Inspired by the loyalty and dedication of the company’s namesake – a beloved dog named Hachiko – the brand is animal-friendly and uses organic and upcycled oils. The company also avoids plastic packaging and plants a tree for every order. To check the products out yourself, stop by the Hachiko pop-up in Prenzlauer Berg (10.03–02.04.2023) for some testers and a cup of tea and a bite.
