The skincare industry has confused us, and in turn, we've confused each other. It's time to reset. Let's use less, use better, and go back to basics. All & Sundry was founded on the philosophy of effective formulations through a simplified routine and a simplified set of ingredients.
All & Sundry is minimalistic skincare for all genders to experience the benefits of exceptional formulations, without the extensive time commitment or confusion. Morning and night. Simplicity in all ways, always: Self-care shouldn’t be complicated.
Process
The process was considerable, almost spanning three years with my involvement starting before the product development stage. Our initial discovery work included a brand workshop, competitor research, and visual trend analysis.
Then the pandemic happened and brought with it all the interruptions one could expect from worldwide lockdowns, hitting everything from manufacturing to formula delays. And through the complexity of getting to market, our aim to create a brand and experience that spoke firmly to the simplicity of skincare never changed.
So with the brand aiming to meet the moment of skincare minimalism, the design itself had to be equally simple, bare, and as elegant as the product itself. The packaging, website experience, and overall typographic system are streamlined and clean. And this idea extended to the copywriting which has a "No Fuss No Muss" ethos and an underlining belief that we should avoid dictating values and beliefs to the wearer and celebrate what's beneath the surface.
