01 Feb Beauty Trends: Skin Creamery and SKOON share their vision for skin in 2017

With each new year, new evidence in science and research brings us ever closer to an alignment with health and a lifestyle more synchronised with nature. But do general lifestyle trends like minimalism and water conscious living also play important roles in the beauty industry? In looking at natural beauty trends for 2017, we asked two of our most popular natural beauty ranges, Skin Creamery and SKOON what their respective vision for skin was in the year ahead.

Skin Creamery’s goal and vision for 2017 is about simplifying your beauty routine and offering multi-use products that don’t compromise on quality. It’s all about the minimalistic back-to-basics approach for skin care. For this year we will be focusing on creating the XS range (smaller versions of our existing products in glass) this will allow customers to trial our product before purchasing a full size, as well as having the convenience of a smaller product for travel purposes, not to mention the super cute packaging they will come in!

The Skin Creamery brand emphasises that there is no need for compromise when it comes to using natural skin care products. We take pride in providing customers with a beautiful product from start to finish. The user experience of the product is just as important as the box it comes in.

What is the most important element to clean beauty products for the Skin Creamery brand?

We have a few important elements which bring together the ethos of our brand:

• sourcing locally made packaging and printing
• finding fair-trade, certified ingredients from the African continent
