Brand overview
Founded by Kristen Lu, KSK Wellness is a New York-based artisan natural skincare company designed for dry sensitive skin. Launched in the first quarter of 2021 and originally offering anhydrous products only, KSK has expanded and now offers moisturisers and has plans to further expand its range. Since graduating from Formula Botanica in 2021, Kristen took a look at all the new natural ingredients she was introduced to during her courses and redesigned her original facial oil. Now a hero product, the Daily Luxury Facial Oil includes sophisticated ingredients that work in synergy to create a highly-effective product.
Formula Botanica has been pivotal to the growth of KSK Wellness. KSK Wellness carefully sources ingredients that are certified organic and non-GMO verified where possible. The brand believes it is important to select from suppliers who buy from sustainable growers. KSK seeks out not only fairly-traded products but also those that are fair for life. ‘Fair for Life’ is a program that evaluates and audits working conditions, labour practices, environmental programs, social benefits and company transparency. KSK Wellness is also a cruelty-free company and intentionally sources its ingredients from manufacturers that do not test on animals.
All products are meticulously handcrafted in small batches for quality and freshness. Formula Botanica helped Kristen to grow her business by giving her the know-how to expand from anhydrous formulas to emulsions and more.
