Summary

Skinfix is the first clean, clinically active skin care brand vetted by unbiased dermatologists. The Nova Scotia, Canada-based brand was founded in 2014 by Amy Gordinier after she discovered a powerful 19th-century heritage formula for treating eczema. Since then, Skinfix has expanded to address the most stubborn skin issues and heal, replenish and maintain the vital skin barrier. The skincare portfolio, which has won over 40 major beauty awards, currently features seven collections: Barrier+, Resurface+, Eczema+, Correct+, Redness Recovery+, Remedy+, and Inked+. A firm believer in the link between mental health and skin wellness, Gordinier feels a moral imperative to prove the effectiveness of the products by investing in clinical trials and publishing the results. Skinfix also shares the percentages of active ingredients on the packaging, so consumers know exactly what they are getting in each bottle. All of the products are cruelty-free and all of the formulas are vegan or beegan. Skinfix’s cartons are made from 100% recycled or reclaimed fiber, and almost all primary packaging components contain a high percentage of post-consumer recycled plastic.Skinfix is currently available throughout the United States and Canada exclusively at Sephora and directly through the Skinfix website. The brand further supports mental health by donating 1% of all sales to YourMomCares, an organization dedicated to providing mental wellness resources to children around the world.--- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/skincareanarchy/messageSupport this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/skincareanarchy/support Support the show

0:57.0	Okay, yeah, my beauty journey started probably when I was a little girl,
1:02.0	because my father actually worked in the manufacturing facility for us,
1:06.0	a lot, or back in the 1970s when I was a little girl and he used to come home and I would be so fascinated
