The INKEY List skincare products

The INKEY List was founded in 2018 by Colette Laxton and Mark Curry with the mission of making high-quality skincare accessible and easy to understand. Based in the United Kingdom, the brand quickly became a global favorite by focusing on single-ingredient-led formulas that demystify complex skincare science.

While the brand originated in Britain, it has expanded its footprint through significant investment. In 2022, the company secured a major investment from the sustainability-focused investment firm Aria Growth Partners, which helped fuel its international growth. Despite this external funding, the brand continues to operate with its original vision of transparency and affordability.

Most of the brand's research and development and manufacturing occur in the United Kingdom, ensuring tight control over their clinical-grade formulations. Today, The INKEY List is a leading name in the 'clean beauty' and 'affordable luxury' sectors, distributed globally through major retailers like Sephora and Amazon.
