VERSO – A Modern Skincare Revolution

Introducing Verso Skincare. Founded by Lars Fredriksson, the Stockholm based skincare brand has developed a product line-up, which consists of a six-step system formulated with the active ingredient – Retinol 8 – to make your skin appear younger and healthier. Hence, the name Verso: philologically, the word verso stems from Latin and means reverse.

Verso has created a formula that helps the skin cells to mimic the way young cells behave, therefore reducing the signs of aging. This formula is called Retinol 8. It is a complex containing a new Vitamin A derivative that is not only 8 times more effective that traditional Retinol, but also much more gentle for the skin. Arguably, Retinol 8 is clinically proven to smooth the appearance of wrinkles, strengthen the skin, reduce pigmentation and supply the skin with more energy and oxygen. Each Verso Skincare product has a unique concentration of Retinol 8.

The Verso Super Eye Serum

Firming and smoothing, Number 5 in Verso’s line-up is a light and refreshing serum designed for the eye area. Formulated with Verso’s patented Retinol 8 complex and specific amino acids, the serum helps to increase the skin’s natural production of collagen and will help diminish eye puffiness, dark circles and lines.

The nice thing about it is that it works. Since the serum is quite rich and in itself moisturising, we suggest applying it over night.

TANGENT GC – Honest Garment Care

With the celebration of high quality craftsmanship and a passion for fabrics and pattern-making, one could presume a meticulous and honest interest for proper care. According to Tangent GC co-founder, David Samuelsson, we stopped caring somewhere along the way when mass produced, cheap, and oftentimes deficient clothing was introduced. For this reason, Tangent GC set out with the aim to provide a range of superior clothing and shoe care products – not emanating from the chemical industry or flung off conveyor belts – but non-mass-produced, chemical-free products that naturally and effectively give your garments a long life.

FARMERS’ - Hand-made Care Products

Nourishing ingredients, rich in texture but not too oily and greasy. Inspired by the labours of Welsh hill farmers, FARMERS’ produces handmade creams and balms that are based on unique product formulations including their essential ingredient, lavender oil, which comes from flowers just outside their windows. Created by creams designer, Helen Lowe, the FARMERS’ line focuses on ingredients that are beneficial – the products don’t contain any artificial colours or perfumes. 

The FARMERS’ Hand Cream (100ml, £12) nourishes hard working hands with an earthy scent along refreshing peppermint and rosemary notes; their scrub (75ml, £14) is an exceptionally mild and exotic blend of oils of lavender, geranium, frankincense and bamboo powder effectively removing deep set impurities; and the nourishing lip balm (15g, £5) combines their essential lavender oil with lime oil and honey.
