There are so many innovative beauty brands out there, it can be difficult to know where to start. For some help navigating, Berlin-based online shop Skin Matter has curated a selection of skincare products from dozens of smaller and independent brands from across the world all in one place. From face toners and cleansers to lip scrubs and body oils, the range includes all you need to look after your skin. The project was started in July 2020 by entertainment industry professional Olga Zilinska, whose goal is not just to bring together small beauty brands, but to promote sustainable and environmentally responsible skincare. This means lots of plant-based products that come in recycled or recyclable packaging, like the Vitamin C Serum from Copenhagen’s Nuori, which is an intensive facial treatment that uses no harsh chemicals.
The products from Codex Beauty in Ireland are also natural, making use of the revitalizing effects of calendula and hyaluronic acid in a range of facial and cleansing oils which are particularly suitable for sensitive and dry skin. If you still aren’t sure of the product for you, the site allows you to search according to skin type and needs, ensuring you get a perfectly-matched product. And whilst you’re online, check out the natural aromatherapy oils and bath salts – perfect for springtime self-care sessions at home. Your body will thank you!
