Beauty: 4 new brands to know in 2019

Because they have opted for a "no list" approach—which excludes all toxic substances previously found in most cosmetics—genderless products, and a 100% digital presence, the latest generation of brands are not afraid to shake up the beauty industry. The result is formulas that are increasingly respectful of the planet, animals, and health, nestled in trendy packaging that looks great in the bathroom. Here's a closer look at four brands you should try right now.

1. Thomsen

What?A green, 100% digital French skincare brand.

Who?Michaela Thomsen and Emilie Thomsen, two influencer sisters of French-Swedish origin, who have nearly 100K followers on Instagram.

The main advantages?

1/ No compromises on green formulas
Don't bother looking, you won't find any trace of chemical or petrochemical ingredients. Instead? 100% natural—even the preservatives!—cruelty-free, organic, Ecocert certified, and made in France! Even better, Thomsen has successfully eliminated palm oil, which is ubiquitous in cosmetics, in favor of apricot oil, baobab oil, and olive oil.

2/ One product for every need
Launched in early December, the brand currently offers six products (it will have 12 by 2020). One for every need. No more, no less. From moisturizer to night cream, body cream to serum, each product is designed to be part of an effortless ritual that leaves skin feeling like a baby's: cleanse, moisturize, enhance.

3/ Attractive retro packaging
With their chic packaging inspired by the 90s/2000s, Thomsen Beauty products add a trendy touch to the bathroom.
