Have you heard of Oodee, Made By Sunday or Face Theory?

There’s a new wave of skincare coming and it’s less about playing chemist with single ingredients, and more about finding a brand you trust to help tackle your biggest concerns. These “nano” brands (up-and-coming small independent brands) range from completely vegan to being skin trigger-free or made solely from naturally derived ingredients. 

Here are the six brands we’ve got our eye on and the best bits from each. 

  • Oodee 3 Step Phenomenal Skin Edit

    Designed to help people with sensitive and reactive skin, Oodee is an “allergen neutral” brand, meaning it contains zero potential skin triggers ranging from fragrance to food, as well as parabens, silicones and sulphates.

    Oodee’s entire range is based around a three-step system (a cleanser, serum and moisturiser) to thoroughly clean your skin without stripping and then rehydrate, brighten and improve luminosity.
