Eco-Conscious Youthful Skincare

Higher Education Skincare Appeals to Millennials & Gen Z

Higher Education Skincare, a brand beloved by Millennials and Gen Z, recently refreshed its packaging to create eye-catching designs that stand out in person and online. The new designs are bold and bright, and they make the most of recycled materials, which echoes the brand's passionate commitment to creating eco-conscious beauty staples. The brand's range is also inclusive, cruelty-free, USA-made, vegan and formulated with smart ingredients.

In all, there are six skincare categories from the brand and they span everything from sun protection to daily cleansers. Some of the ingredients that are favored by Higher Education Skincare include antioxidants, bentonite clay and fractionated melanin. Although the brand is on a mission to deliver "intelligent skincare to an intelligent generation," the product names are less serious and more playful.
