MINIMALIST
Coluors has a minimalist approach to skin care throughout all aspects — from the formulation theme and the total number of ingredients to the packaging design and materials used.
Simplicity to the max
Coluors products are based on naturally occurring and actively beneficial ingredients. To maximize the benefits to your skin, the products deliver a maximal effect by combining different ingredients and their properties.
But, with skincare especially, it is always important to focus on quality over quantity. When you add more ingredients there is a risk that they start canceling themselves out and becoming less active — and you may not get the desired benefits.
That’s why Coluors develops and tests formulations with razor-sharp focus on the bioactive key ingredients while keeping the formula free from anything unnecessary. All this makes a minimalist formula with few ingredients that are still 100% effective and deliver the fullest benefits to your skin.
When you go minimal, you're actually getting more of what your skin needs, since there are less filler ingredients reducing the potency of the key ingredients that are intended to give extraordinary benefits.
When you add more ingredients there is a risk that they start canceling themselves out and becoming less active.
Minimalist means understandable
It’s very useful to know exactly what you are putting onto and into your body. And it’s much easier to know that when a brand uses few ingredients as well as presenting all of them in an understandable way. Coluors removes the complexity, making it easier for you to stay in control of your own skin.
Also, and just as important, the fewer ingredients, the less chance of an allergic reaction that can leave skin dry and irritated. It’s easier to navigate through the ingredients your skin benefits from — and what it doesn’t benefit from — when reducing the number of ingredients.
