The Food for Skin mission

The beauty industry needs a reset! Why?

  • 1. False claims and empty promises

    Campaigns are full of false claims, empty promises and quick fixes for skin problems. Harsh, stripping products may seem to work in the short term, but in the long term they can weaken or even damage your skin.

  • 2. Excess is harmful

    The big beauty giants want to sell as many expensive skin care products with yet another mysterious ingredient as possible. They offer 12-step routines, in which one product combats the damage of the other.

  • 3. The earth is taxed too much

    All these products place a heavy burden on the environment. Synthetic ingredients such as microplastics cannot be broken down and persist. Unnecessary packaging material also creates extra waste.

Together we make the beauty industry beautiful again

Founders zussen food for skin

That can – and must – be better, we thought: sisters Cathy and Angela. After a failed personal search, we founded Food for Skin with the mission to make the beauty industry a little better. A beauty industry where honest and natural skincare products that have minimal impact on the planet are the norm, not the exception. We show that it is possible.

How do we do that?

  •  

    1. Clean

    Our products reset the standard and give new meaning to the concept of clean beauty.
    Our products are 100% natural and consist only of active ingredients. That means no nasties, zero fillers and microplastic-free. The result? Products that strengthens your skin barrier on the long term,
    rather than treating a skin problem on the short term.

    2. Green

    Clean products go hand in hand with a green production chain. We work with professional laboratories with a focus on natural products and we use residual flows as much as possible. Currently, 40% of our ingredients are upcycled. We work with the Plastic Soup Foundation to reduce microplastics in cosmetics and became a B Corp in 2023

    3. Lean

    Do you also no longer see the forest for the trees with overly complex skincare routines, false promises and certifications? Recognizable! That is why we opt for honest, no-nonsense communication and a smart, simple, effective routine. We only make products of the highest quality that burden the earth as little as possible, so that you can enjoy your skin care without worries.
