Our Philosophy
Inspired by the farm-to-table movement in the culinary world, we set out to reimagine our relationship with our skin. We wanted every indulgent ingredient in every artisanal Salt+Less creation to be put there by our very hands.
Why? Because our skin lets in nearly seventy percent of everything applied to the surface. That’s seventy percent of all the bleaches, artificial fragrances, aluminium/alumina, sulfates, silicones, steroids, and petrochemicals found in mass-produced skincare.
That’s why we got rid of the factory and got busy working with our hands. With a mortar and pestle we concocted new alternative cremes, masques and lotions without any artificial additives.
You can feel, smell and even taste the difference. It changed our relationship to our skin, and we hope it does the same for you.

Our Story
Mica, Janet and Mateo met while pursuing their Masters degrees in fine arts. Propelled by their mutual love for craftsmanship and attention to detail, they collaborated on everything from public art pieces to a five-star restaurant.
In 2016, they set their sights on the world of skincare. Unhappy with the offerings of mass-produced products, they knew there had to be a better way. Within a year they launched Salt+Less with the groundbreaking Skin Creme, and quickly expanded to a full suite of skincare creations.
They now live in Brooklyn balancing life, work and dog care.
