OQUIST COSMETICS was founded by a father and daughter duo, both with extensive experience in the cosmetic industry and a heart for nature and sustainability.
“We are a 360 conscious cosmetic brand that cares for your skin, health and the planet. 360 means we've taken a total approach to our footprint on planet Earth - from sourcing of ingredients, CO2 emissions, multifunctionality, water preservation, non toxicity for health and pollution, to packaging material, its design and responsible afterlife. Our strategy allows us to reduce our carbon emissions by 80-97% compared to conventional cosmetic brands.
Pavel has been developing natural and organic wellness and cosmetic products for the European market for over 20 years.”
Oquist mission: Improve our Skin Microbiome
“The latest dermatologic research shows that the condition of our Skin Microbiome (set of bacteria living in symbiose with our skin) and the Skin Barrier are crucial for the health, rejuvenation and efficient functioning of our skin. Just like we need a balanced gut microbiome for a functioning immune system, our skin microbiome has important functions for the health of our skin. Preservatives (which are designed to eliminate bacteria) can disrupt our natural microbiome balance, leading to disruption in our skin's ability to self regulate and self hydrate. This disruption can also be caused by a set of chemical toxins commonly found in cosmetic products. A malfunctioning microbiome leads to dry skin, eczema, acne, and premature aging. Oquist's formulas are designed to help keep a balanced microbiome by the absence of disruptive toxins and preservatives, while boosting it with antioxidants.”
An inspiring brand that has a passion for people, our planet and our skin microbiome.
