Founded by sisters Angela and Cathy, Food for Skin is a Dutch skincare brand with an unwavering mission: to offer skincare that's honest, effective, and genuinely sustainable. Embracing a minimalist philosophy that prioritises high-impact natural ingredients, the brand stands on values of transparency, integrity, and nurturing the skin’s natural vitality. It’s this clarity of vision that makes Miron not just a partner, but a perfect match.
Personal Challenges
Their direction stemmed from real-life frustrations. Angela discovered that products marketed as “green” still contained microplastics, while Cathy, a seasoned skin therapist, struggled with dryness linked to synthetic formulations. Determined to create something better, they spent two years collaborating with a scientific formulator to launch a minimalist skincare range powered exclusively by fruit, vegetable and plant extracts, with no fillers, no water, no microplastics.
Skinimalism & Honesty
Food for Skin’s products offer simplicity without compromise: fewer, multi-functional formulations for all skin types, ages, and genders. Their Tomato Base Cream, for instance, features 74% tomato ingredients, a substantial departure from the token amounts typical in other formulas.
This clarity of purpose has earned them several Dutch Beauty Awards and B-Corp certification in 2023. The brand also embraces transparency wholeheartedly, openly sharing areas for improvement, such as their temporary reliance on plastic pumps.
"We are not perfect, but by being honest about what has yet to be solved, we build trust.”

The Role of Miron Glass
From the beginning, packaging was a challenge: how to protect natural formulations without synthetic preservatives? Plastic was not an option, and ordinary glass did not offer enough protection. Food for Skin set strict requirements:
- Packaging had to be produced in Europe
- Made from a large amount of recycled glass
- and be 100% recyclable
It also needed to safeguard the vitality of their formulas. The solution was Miron glass. According to Food for Skin’s own safety tests, their oil products last six months longer in violet glass (from 24 to 30 months), a crucial advantage for preservative-free skincare.
Miron’s glass acts as a natural preservative, filtering harmful visible light while allowing through beneficial UV-A, violet, and infrared rays. This has been scientifically proven to support long-term product vitality.
Food for Skin’s Experience
“For us, violetglass has made a real difference. We noticed the following, among others:”
- Premium appearance – “The packaging reflects the quality we want to stand for.”
- Sustainability – “It matters to us that the glass is made in Europe and can be recycled.”
- Greater flexibility – “As a young brand, smaller order volumes made it feasible to start with Miron packaging, and it can grow with our company.”
