About Under Your Skin
Under Your Skin was founded in Sweden by Lovisa and her mother, Christina , driven by a shared passion for creating beauty products that are gentle on both the body and the environment. Their journey began when Lovisa developed a hormonal imbalance in her 20s , prompting them to take a closer look at the harsh, synthetic ingredients in everyday cosmetics.
Determined to find a better way, they set out to blend the power of nature with science , celebrating the beauty of Sweden’s pristine landscapes while crafting high-performance solutions. What started as a mission to eliminate harsh chemicals from cosmetics has since grown into one of Sweden’s fastest-growing beauty brands , now expanding across Sweden and the United States .
