Fresh skincare

The minimalist line, designed by New York agency NR2154 is stamped with two dates: a start-using-by date and an expiry date. Once products pass their dates, they will be removed from the shelves and replaced with a fresh batch.

‘I found numerous studies documenting how commonly used active ingredients start losing their beneficial properties in just a few months due to oxidisation,’ founder Jasmi Bonnen tells LS:N Global. ‘We can offer consumers two distinct benefits: higher efficacy of ingredients and purer formulas.’

The brand also plans to experiment with the freshness theme via a series of limited releases featuring seasonal ingredients.
