Why don't I launch 10 new products annually?

I don't make 10 new products a year because I don't test trends on your skin; instead, I let the formula settle in real life, on faces, bodies, and habits. Every new product is a promise to me, and I don't mass-produce promises. I prefer to perfect what works, listen to you, and change subtle details that no one sees, but the skin feels. Trends pass, but your skin stays with you throughout your life, and I choose to be on its side, not on the side of viral videos and profit.

I could, but I won't...

I could release ten new products every year, do a "launch," insert catchy words into the description, and hope the algorithm does its job. I don't do that. Deliberately. Not because I lack ideas, but because behind every product stands real skin, real people, and my name.

In a time when everyone is chasing the next trend, I choose something radically boring: that what you put on your face and body does what it says on the bottle... today, tomorrow, and in five years.

Instead of playing the trend factory, I choose to be someone you trust enough to apply a product without hesitation to your child's skin, your partner's, or your own.

You are not guinea pigs...

None of my products were created because some raw material went viral, but because there was a clear problem I wanted to solve. Behind every formula are months of writing down, trying out, adjusting, and asking: Would I give this to someone I love?

If we were making ten new products every year, it would mean we're testing them on you on the fly, under pressure from seasons and sales. I simply don't do that. I'd rather have fewer, but for you, I can stand behind every bottle and say: "Yes, I know this, I understand this, I am responsible for this."

A product is not an idea, but a responsibility...

A new product for me is not a pretty photo on a feed, but a promise. A promise that it won't irritate the skin for no reason, that it will make sense in someone's routine, that you're not just buying a scent and a feeling, but a result.

Every such promise carries weight, legal, ethical, and emotional. That's why the number of products in the collection is smaller than marketing would like, but I am strict enough with myself not to sign off on anything I don't 100% stand behind.

Trends pass, skin remembers...

The cosmetic industry loves waves: one month everyone wants hyaluronic acid, another niacinamide, the third month some squalane or something else is a "must-have." Then the next year comes, and no one even remembers those "revolutions" anymore.

Your skin, however, remembers everything we applied to it – layers of scents, active ingredients, preservatives. If I offer you something new every month, I'm actually offering you chaos. I prefer a calm, logical, repeatable skincare regimen with a few reliable products over an orchestra of trends playing by heart without a plan or program.

While others chase the hype, I look at reviews that come in years after the launch, the same orders from the same customers, the same products that travel with you through pregnancies, acne, first wrinkles. That's more important to me than sounding modern and adorning myself with glitter in the summer.

Why fewer new products is good news for you...

Fewer new products mean less confusion: "What do I need now?" and "Do I have to change everything?" You don't. If something suits you, my wish is for you to use it for years, while everything else around you changes, but not your skin.

It also means that every euro you invest in my cosmetics goes into formulas that have stood the test of time, real people, and countless refinements, not into seasonal adventures that will disappear from shelves and memory in six months.

When do I still make a new product?

A new product for me is created when three things align:

• there's a problem that my current products don't solve well enough
• I have a clear, meaningfully different idea
• I feel I can stand behind that formula even in five years, not just the first five days.

Sometimes it's a new type of texture, sometimes a different active, sometimes simply a simpler version of something that already exists, but never just because something new has to be made.

If you like my way of working…

If this philosophy resonates with you, you're probably not someone who changes cream every two weeks. You're probably looking for a few products that do the job and a brand you return to because you feel it, not just see it in an advertisement.

Because of this approach, I might always have fewer new products than other brands. I'm completely at peace with that. One honest message "this saved my skin" means more to me than thirty photos of unopened bottles in a drawer.

If you're with me precisely for that reason, thank you. I promise I will continue to prefer being late for trends rather than for my standards.

With love,
