This means just a few simple and combinable products with a minimum of ingredients that care for sensitive and problem skin gently and effectively.
All products are made without added fragrance or any fragrance at all, with vegan and plant-based ingredients, and are developed in our own Helsinki lab and tested by our sensitive and problem skinned owners, founder and CEO Kristina and chemist Jaana.
We manufacture all our products in Finland. The entire Laponie range bears the Finnish Allergy-, Skin- and Asthma Federation's Allergy-label.
Meet the team
All Laponie products are developed in our own lab outside our native Helsinki.
Our lab is run by our head of R&D, cosmetic chemist Jaana, who has a cosmetic science degree from University of the Arts London as well as solid and wide formulation expertise. Jaana is also completing her PhD in cosmetic chemistry at John Moores Liverpool. Our founder Kristina also works in the lab with Jaana. Both Jaana and Kristina have long personal histories of sensitive and problem skin.
Our in-house lab allows us to manage the entire R&D process. We source and test new raw materials ourselves and make as many versions of a product as we want and need, until the product is ready. Everything Jaana and Kristina make in the lab, they test on themselves, to make sure our products really work for sensitive and problem skin.
All our products are manufactured in Finland, at our partner factories.
WHERE WE COME FROM
Laponie was a legendary 80s Finnish skincare brand, and we love the name so much we wanted to bring it back. It's also French for Lapland, the wild, northern part of Scandinavia.
We never test our products on animals or use raw materials that have been tested on animals. Because it's important to us - and also because it's the law.
We strive to use as locally and sustainably produced ingredients as possible, always focusing on quality and suitability for sensitive and problem skin. Under each product in our web shop you'll find detailed descriptions of the ingredients we use, what they do, where they are produced, from what and how. If there is some info you're still missing, don't hesitate to contact us.
For packaging we mainly use glass, aluminium and cardboard.
WE'VE WON AWARDS!
Over the years we've won some great awards for our products.
