Our philosophy
Welcome to the heart of Flam Skin! On this page, we want to show you transparently what goes into our products, the values that guide us, and how we're rethinking skincare. We believe that true beauty arises from balance—a harmony between effective care, pure ingredients, and a respectful approach to our environment. Discover how we at Flam Skin live this harmony.
The Flam Skin Formula: Balance meets effectiveness
Our skincare is more than just a cream or serum—it's a promise. The promise to give your skin exactly what it needs to find its natural balance and glow with health. To achieve this, we combine high-quality, plant-based ingredients, over 95% of which are certified organic, with carefully selected, modern active ingredients whose effectiveness and safety are scientifically proven. Each formula is designed to strengthen the skin barrier, moisturize, and gently support the skin—inspired by the harmony and resilience of nature. Naturally, all our formulations comply with strict EU cosmetic guidelines.
Questions about our formulations
What exactly does “balance” mean in your formulations?
What exactly does “balance” mean in your formulations?
For us, balance means optimally supporting the skin's natural functions. This means strengthening the protective barrier, regulating moisture levels, soothing irritations, and promoting a healthy microbiome. This allows the skin to be resilient and radiant on its own.
Do you also use synthetic active ingredients?
Do you also use synthetic active ingredients?
Yes, consciously. We utilize the best of both worlds: the power of certified organic plant active ingredients and the proven effectiveness of modern, safe active ingredients such as biotechnologically derived hyaluronic acid or niacinamide. Always with a focus on maximum skin compatibility and visible results.
Are your products suitable for sensitive skin?
Are your products suitable for sensitive skin?
Absolutely. Skin compatibility is our top priority. We select mild ingredients, avoid known irritants (see our Clean Beauty Promise), and have our products dermatologically tested for compatibility. Many of our formulations also contain soothing active ingredients like aloe vera or panthenol.

For us, "clean beauty" isn't a trend, but a given. It means responsibility – for your skin and for our environment. We focus on transparency instead of misleading marketing terms or "proprietary blends." You should know exactly what you're putting on your skin. Our standards often exceed legal requirements because we want to create products you can completely trust.
