With its 'Skindie' campaign, Cult Beauty is bringing attention to independent skincare brands and their products that consumers may not have heard of before. According to Cult Beauty, Skindie is defined as "under-the-radar and achingly cool, these are the independent skin care brands defying the norm and winning the hearts of true beauty groupies."
As part of its celebrations of independent skincare brands that are devoted to doing things differently, Cult Beauty is spotlighting innovators like Volition, which makes products like Snow Mushroom Water Serum; Plenaire, a grown-up beauty brand for Gen Z; LIXIRSKIN, which favors a "less is more" approach and Jordan Samuel, a brand created by former professional ballet dancer and skin therapist Jordan Samuel Pacitti.
