Why don’t we help our skin regenerate itself thanks to important elements that we may find in the body, combined and boosted with minerals and vitamins to give active and concrete support to our skin? Oskia is the British brand which, through science-driven and natural ingredients, aims to offer a real solution to skin issues and a better skincare routine, also thanks to the “Beauty Mineral” (MSM) a hero ingredient in every Oskia product.
With Honesty, Technology and a process that aims to help the skin helping itself.

Pills of History
____________
MSM is commonly known as “the Beauty Mineral,” and its beneficial effects have been tested first-handed by former food journalist for Conde Nast and therapist Georgie Cleeve, who founded Oskia in 2009. Since then, the brand has won many prizes, from the Beauty Shortlist Awards 2017 for its Renaissance Mask to the recent Beauty Bible Award 2019, triumphing at the International Beauty Awards with many of its must-have skincare products. Georgie began an MSM-based cure for her damaged cartilage after undergoing a significant number of surgeries, finding unexpected results in cosmetic: the MSM dramatically boosted her nail, hair, and skin. “My childhood eczema cleared, my skin became stronger, smoother and radiated health and vitality. Not to mention the improvement of my nail and hair condition,” she writes in the section of the website dedicated to the background and history of the brand. “And it is not difficult to understand why: MSM, the most bio-available form of the key mineral sulfur is the key ingredient used in collagen production (in addition to another 150 bodily functions) and it helps to repair and maintain healthy skin tissue.”
Hence, Oskia (the first nutritionally-designed skincare brand ever created) focuses on building a skincare regimen that targets skin issues, age, and imperfections, fighting them with cutting-edge and clinically-tested formulas.

The mission of the brand
____________
Georgie personally designs all the products and they are manufactured in Wales, where the brand owns many laboratories, with one mission in mind: to tackle skin issues with active ingredients often already present in the body, starting from MSM, that help the skin help itself. Only this collaboration between skincare and skin will bring practical and long-term results for the skin. The safe, naturally-derived ingredients used by the brand mirror their will to do good by the body with components of tested efficacy. Vitamins, minerals, proteins & omegas all combine to improve cellular activity and efficiency, while the cellular nutrients are then blended with high-tech bio-actives (including plant stem cell technology, peptide complexes, anti-oxidants, enzymes, prebiotics, botanical extracts, and floral oils) to fight and resolve skin issues and to improve the health of the skin daily.
All this, through a straightforward communication of beauty, almost clinically clean image-wise and extremely precise in the does and don’ts of taking care of your skin, putting honest and result-driven products first.
