With Feel Unique being the go-to for all things beauty, it was great to see another skincare brand launching with them recently. Skin Academy Zero is a 100% natural and sustainable skincare range that encourages you to have a positive impact on both your skin and the environment. The range includes simplified ingredients, gentle botanical formulas and sustainable packaging putting your skin and our planet first.
Skin Academy ZERO prides itself on being a small family owned British brand created and manufactured in the UK. All the formulas are SGS-Certified as 100% natural and designed to care for all skin types using plant based ingredients.
Also, in celebration of their launch with Feel Unique the skincare brand have collaborated with Ecologi, a global environmental organisation and so for every ZERO product sold on Feel Unique, a tree will be planted - amazing right?!
When it comes to ingredients, ZERO believes that less is more. Findings from a recent study they carried out found that 86% of people asked actually prefer to use skincare products with minimal ingredients and as Zero's formulations are free from synthetic preservatives, parabens, SLS, artificial ingredients and fragrance it's the perfect match.
Their ZERO promise is:
- 100% natural ingredients
- Plant-based
- Vegan friendly
- Fully recyable
- Sustainable packaging
- British owned and created
- Cruelty free
Harnessing the best botanical ingredients to care for your skin means ZERO's nourishing plant-based formulas include four powerful key actives: sweet almond oil which is rich in vitamin E and A, coconut oil to soften and hydrate, shea butter to reduce the appearance of dry skin and sacha inchi seed oil to encourage cell regeneration.
And a little note on their packaging - all the tubes are made from fully recyable sugarcane ethanol, each of the pots have fully compostable bamboo lids, the glass jars are fully recyable and reusable and lastly, the packaging each product comes in is made from 15% recycled card and is fully recyclable.
When it comes to the products, there are seven available from as a little as £9.99 and there is the option to buy them in bundles which is great if you want an essential AM or PM routine.
