DISCOVER THE SECRETS BEHIND AWARD-WINNING SKINCARE

STARSKIN® was launched in September 2015 by Nicole Arnoldussen and Paul Hendriks.

Nicole’s passion has been to leverage her 20+ years’ experience in beauty retail to create the most innovative beauty products in an increasingly confusing and overwhelming beauty landscape.

Years before K-Beauty arrived in the Western world, their quest for the ultimate in beauty led them to South Korea, the modern-day leader in cutting-edge skincare science, and a powerhouse behind the latest natural, organic, and botanical ingredients.

OUR VISION * THE SECRET REVEALED

Offering the most effective beauty products in a curated assortment that deliver instant and visible results at an unprecedented price-quality level to everyone.

SHEET MASKS BECAME A SKINCARE PHENOMENA

At the start of the new and highly sought-after sheet mask category, we introduced the most premium sheet mask material, Bio-Cellulose, to the market in a time that everybody was launching and familiar with cotton and hydrogel sheet masks.

Bio-Cellulose is still considered by dermatologists to be the gold standard for treating skin. The close fit of the naturally fermented and cooling gel material delivers unparalleled results.

We launched the first Bio-Cellulose sheet masks, loaded with top quality serums at a price range that was unknown in the skincare market.

...NO SILICONS

Though silicones are commonly used by cosmetic manufacturers because they offer an instant smoothing effect (think cloud creams, serums, primers), are inexpensive and considered safe to use, Nicole wanted to consciously formulate Starskin products silicone-free.

…FERMENTED NATURAL INGREDIENTS

A processing technique that’s been used for thousands of years, most related to food. The methods of producing wine, cheese, kombucha or even kimchi all involve a fermentation process. With so much evidence that fermented foods - and the enzymes they contain - are essential for a healthier body, one can imagine the nutritional benefits fermented ingredients can bring to skincare.

The most common ingredients in skincare that can undergo fermentation are fruits, plants, herbs, and yeast. During fermentation good bacteria help to break down ingredients into smaller molecules so that their nutrients and minerals can be more rapidly absorbed into the skin. 


THE FURTURE OF SKINCARE…, BUT WE ALREADY STARTED

…NON-WATER BASED

Have you ever looked at the ingredient list on the back of your skincare products? Take a look and you will see the majority of them list water (aqua) as the first ingredient. And since labels’ ingredient lists appear in descending order, that means there’s a lot of (up to 90%!) plain, purified water in your favorite products.

From the launch of STARSKIN®, Nicole decided to start formulating skincare that was non-water based and to offer effective products that weren’t filled and diluted with tons of water. This approach was based on her belief that the ever-evolving consumer would understand that it just doesn’t make sense to purchase an expensive moisturizer in a jar or bottle that’s mostly plain water and would start looking for products formulated with zero, or very little, water. To be clear, water isn’t necessarily a bad or even useless ingredient. As a solvent, water helps dissolve potent actives and sometimes we need to use a small percentage in our formulas.

However, skincare products without water are more potent, more luxurious, and offer more bang for your buck! On top of that, water is fast becoming a very precious resource and to limit the amount used in our products is something we are very mindful of.
