Why Choose your skincare products from us?

Handcrafted Skincare

We are constantly surrounded by many international skincare brands from Europe, the US, Japan, and Korea. Their skincare formulas are typically designed for the local users in their home markets. In Hong Kong, we face the biggest challenge of the humid weather and going in and out of air-conditioned spaces with temperature differences. Our skin has to adapt to these products, often leading us to waste money trying different national brands, which can ultimately cause skin sensitivity, requiring us to spend more money to restore our skin condition.

Skinotes' skincare products are custom-formulated for users living in Hong Kong, with different formulas for each season of the year. They target the combination, and even sensitive, skin types that are common among Hong Kong users, adjusting the water-to-oil ratios based on the current season, temperature, and needs. Moreover, every manufacturing step involves human hands, with every detail oriented around the user's perspective.

Customization

The mission of Skinotes is to formulate a truly unique skincare product for each and every user. From the preferred hydrosols and essential oils to the customized additives, they create a bottle that the user will love in terms of scent, texture, and efficacy. In contrast, at department stores and retail shops, we all end up buying the same products season after season. We should be using skincare products tailored to our own individual needs, rather than continuously searching for a product that might potentially suit us.

Natural Ingredients

The biggest selling point of Skinotes is that they use plant-derived raw materials: the hydrosols, base oils, essential oils, and additives are all imported from abroad. In addition to providing floral and fruity fragrances, these hydrosols and essential oils can also greatly benefit our emotional well-being.

Furthermore, the natural additives used are all on the EWG (Environmental Working Group) Grade 1 list, meaning they are recognized as having the lowest potential for harm to human skin and can be safely used.

While our natural skincare products use premium ingredients, the cost to consumers is only about a third of luxury brand products.

The second major selling point is that we do not add any chemical preservatives to our products. In contrast, other brands incorporate chemical preservatives to extend the shelf life to a year or more - a cost that is ultimately borne by our skin, even with the most premium skincare products.

Sustainability

The founding mission of Skinotes is to reduce the generation of unnecessary waste. How many of the bottles and containers from the series of new skincare products we have to purchase every few months can actually be reused after the products are finished? Our packaging is simple and does not add unnecessary costs. The bottles and containers we use can be cleaned and reused.

If each person takes a small step, we can collectively reduce the amount of waste generated, and even breathe new life into these containters.
