The Future of Skincare: Why Minimalism is the New Luxury
As the skincare industry evolves, so do consumer preferences. Gone are the days of 10-step routines—2025 is ushering in a new era of streamlined, science-backed skincare. According to Beauty Independent, simplicity is emerging as a leading trend, with consumers prioritising efficiency and effectiveness over excessive steps. At Somerset Moss, we’ve been ahead of this curve, redefining skincare as a curated collection of multifunctional products that deliver exceptional results with fewer steps.
The Science Behind Simplicity
This approach not only adds complexity to routines but also contributes to environmental concerns, with the beauty industry producing over 120 billion units of packaging every year.
At Somerset Moss, we’ve distilled skincare into its most effective form—offering just four products that replace an average of 10 traditional ones. Each product in our collection is thoughtfully formulated to maximise performance, minimise waste, and provide tangible benefits for both your skin and the planet.
Multifunctional Products That Work
-
Facial Oil: Combining the power of a cleanser and moisturiser, this oil is enriched with nutrient-dense ingredients that deeply cleanse, hydrate, and lock in moisture.
-
Facial Mist: With high concentrations of hyaluronic acid, our mist doubles as a serum, a micellar water alternative for a second cleanse, a makeup setting spray, and an on-the-go refresher.
-
Facial Balm: This versatile balm soothes, protects, and hydrates, working as a targeted treatment for dry patches or an overnight mask.
-
Brightening Mask: Delivering gentle exfoliation and a boost of brightness, this mask revitalises skin in just minutes.
Each product is designed to provide multiple benefits, streamlining routines and ensuring that every step delivers maximum impact.
Sustainability Meets Science
Minimalism in skincare isn’t just about efficiency—it’s about sustainability. With fewer products in your routine, there’s less packaging waste, fewer resources consumed, and a smaller environmental footprint. At Somerset Moss, we’re proud to partner with Cleanhub, supporting efforts to remove plastic from oceans and beaches around the world. By choosing Somerset Moss, you’re not only investing in your skin but also contributing to a more sustainable future.
At Somerset Moss, we prioritise sustainability in our packaging choices, using fully recyclable glass bottles, PCR plastics for our tubes, and recyclable cardboard for all outer packaging. As a proud partner of Cleanhub, we offset the carbon footprint of our pumps and spray tops, ensuring our products are as kind to the planet as they are to your skin.

Sam Miles Founder - “After years of working as a leading esthetician, I created Somerset Moss to simplify skincare — from the rituals we have to the ingredients we put on our face. With each product we craft, we seek to be gentle in our approach yet powerful in our results — providing the specific nourishment every skin type needs. What makes us different is our focus on botanicals and sensorial, mood-boosting formulations that harness clean ingredients to invigorate your skin and your self. “
