Plant Based IS Selfcare with Colekt
by Anna Barr
We have been talking a lot about conscious fashion, but what about conscious self-care regimes? Colekt is one of those brands you need to have on your radar. Genderless and vegan, they got me with witch-hazel! There has been a trend over the years to put the harshest chemicals on our bodies, and we are waking up to skin inflammations among other irritations. Many of us are opting to heal and restore naturally. Colekt creates vegan and gender-neutral skincare lines that introduce plant-based and natural ingredients such as bakuchiol, red algae, mallow leaf, or oak root oil to consciously take care of all skin types.
Over the course of one month, we put some of the emerging Stockholm-based clean beauty brand’s products to the test. Colekt’s approach to sustainability is to consciously compose and develop Fragrances and Skincare products in a slow sourcing of vegan exclusive natural ingredients and a slow responsible production in limited collections. Since launching in fall 2020, it has already been picked up at Le Bon Marché, ssense, LN-CC, and more.
