Norwegian Cosmetic Brands You Should Know

Skin of Norway was created by Geir Ness, a Norwegian who, after traveling the world, returned to his homeland to try and capture its essence in a bottle. After creating the perfume Laila, The Essence of Norway, Geir and his team focused on Skin of Norway, a series of no-frill-no-fuss products for people who like to maintain their active lifestyle even in harsh winter temperatures. These serums, creams and mists will moisturise your skin and help you get through any winter dry patches with ease.

Marina struggled for a long time with acne, atopic ekzema and a skin that was irritated by skin care products, until she found the solution in nature. Over time, she perfected the formula and shared the mixture with friends and family with different types of skin – soon, people started asking for the ‘miracle oil’, hence the name ‘Marina Miracle’. Her product range includes herbal oils and acne fight serums, all of them 100 percent natural, while she also offers consultations at her Oslo shop.

Okay, maybe he can keep the oil beard.

We love their salt shampoos that exfoliate the hair while washing them.
