The Food for Skin mission

Food for Skin exists to accelerate the transition to premium skincare that is better for people and better for the planet by creating natural, vegan, and more sustainable products that make conscious skincare the new standard.

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

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. Pure formulas

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. Deliberate choices in formula and chain

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. Ease

Do you also feel overwhelmed by overly complicated skincare routines, exaggerated claims, and endless certifications? We get it. That’s why we believe in honest, no-nonsense skincare with a smart, simple, and effective routine. Our formulas are packed with powerful natural bioactives that truly support your skin, without unnecessary steps or empty promises. We create high-quality products that are kind to both your skin and the planet, so you can care for your skin with confidence.
