Notre histoire
Notre histoire
I was inspired to start ALLIES OF SKIN after I had a tragic accident that resulted in devastating facial injuries and multiple infections. Overcoming my fears, and accepting myself has been a lengthy journey that’s taken several years.
I knew that if I was having these feelings about my skin, others would have similar feeling too. So, if I could help just one person feel better about themselves through their skin, then my painful experience would have been worth something.
Over the last decade, I've developed and iterated on formulas, combining and experimenting with new active ingredients, and finding the right balance and amount of each one. What began as three original products has grown into an entire range to fit every step of your skincare routine.
While we continue to break the rules of formulation, our product ethos of precision and quality remains the same. We never compromise on our products, ensuring that each one has gone through multiple rounds of rigorous testing before they’re launched.
IF YOU ARE UNHAPPY WITH YOUR ORDER, please reach out to ask@allies.shop and someone will help make it right. Thank you so much for trusting us with your skin.
Always,
NICOLAS TRAVIS
