Founded by Colette Laxton and Mark Curry who met while working in the laboratories at Boots, they decided that they wanted to create a skincare line that was educational, simplistic and right for your skin. No confusing terminology, no fluff and no fictitious claims. Hard science made easy.
Starting with a skincare line – The INKEY List's Hyaluronic Acid is a forever bestseller, they now have bodycare and scalp and haircare too – because your skin doesn’t stop on your face, and it needs looking after from top-to-toe.
These are our favourites from The INKEY List

Not only is it ideal for skincare lovers on the move, this ultra-fine mist is equally refreshing both over and under makeup.
