We won - from Amal Clooney's hands!! - first prize for Europe at the Cartier Women's Initiative 2026. With the award, she receives USD 100,000 to increase Food for Skin's impact in Europe.
Food for Skin is the first Dutch company to become a Fellow of the Cartier Women's Initiative (CWI).
We want to accelerate the transition to high-quality skincare that strengthens your skin barrier. Because skincare can be simpler, fairer, and more responsible: with natural formulas, proven active ingredients, and conscious choices in packaging and production.
In an industry full of empty promises, aggressive quick fixes, and endless routines, we show that there's another way. That's why we, sisters Cathy and Angela, started Food for Skin: to prove that effective skincare doesn't have to be complicated and doesn't have to burden the earth. In this way, we are making the beauty industry a little bit better together.
