Brand overview
The Other Skincare Company offers small batch, 100% natural, high-performance skincare for women with problematic skin types. They are based in Vancouver, Canada and formulate in house and in small batches to ensure minimal waste, utmost freshness and the longest possible shelf life. They work with skin-identical ingredients, advanced actives and phytonutrients in their holistic skincare approach. All ingredients are naturally derived, naturally occurring or skin-identical and they pick every single active ingredient based on scientific research. The focus of their products is supporting the skin’s barrier functions and restoring epidermal homeostasis – ultimately achieving stronger, healthier and more resistant skin. The Other Skincare Company started with a line for acne-prone skin and aims to launch a line for skin prone to redness and inflammation soon. Elitsa, founder of the brand, says that Formula Botanica was essential in her learning process.
