_faace takes a no BS approach to common skin concerns, or as they call it – life disruptions. The founder created this range from her own experience with “Period Face” and the disruptions that would unfold. For many, periods and reproductive health may be a sensitive topic, _faace aims to change the dialogue and switch up the conversation, by giving you one less thing to worry about with their 3 (now 6) plant-powered, vegan, cruelty-free face masks and cleansers.
Their mission: _faace supports Hey Girls in the UK – a social enterprise that has created a range of environmentally friendly period products. Their aim is to eradicate period poverty in the UK, improve access to quality products and increase education around period health. Every mask sold results in a donation of period products to someone who does not have access to them, or does not have funds to buy them.
This brand has made waves in the skincare world and has been featured in Glamour UK, Natural Products News, Who What Wear UK, Beauty Independant, and Forbes, just to mention a few.
Development was a collaboration between the founder, who has been working in the beauty industry for 13 years, and a pool of professionals including bloggers, make-up artists, journalists, aromatherapists, scientists and designers.
_faace masks are housed in recyclable packaging. Check out the Provenance Proof Point about their packaging.
