Clean, Safe, and Effective Skincare for Every Skin Type, Especially Sensitive Skin
We understand that navigating skincare can feel complex, but at Simple®, we believe it doesn't have to be. Our philosophy centers on providing your skin with everything it truly needs, and nothing it doesn't.
This means our formulas are thoughtfully enriched with high-performance actives and essential ingredients that deliver real results while always being kind to your skin. Every Simple® product is developed with sensitive skin in mind, ensuring they are free from harsh or unnecessary ingredients that could cause irritation.
Long before "clean beauty" became a popular term, Simple® pioneered this approach. Our commitment to gentle yet effective skincare has been at our core from the very beginning. Our entire collection is designed to be:
- Free from perfume, colour, and harsh chemicals, making them ideal for sensitive skin.
- Dermatologically tested to ensure skin compatibility and safety.
- Non-comedogenic, meaning our products won't block your pores.
- Hypoallergenic and specifically formulated for sensitive skin, minimizing the risk of irritation.

Our Journey: The Simple® Skincare Story
Our story began in 1960, when a pioneering British chemist developed the world's first perfume and colour-free soap, specifically designed to soothe his children's sensitive skin. This innovative approach laid the foundation for the Simple® brand.
As this gentle soap became a household staple across the nation, the Simple® brand expanded its offerings to include a lotion and cream, establishing a foundational three-step skincare routine. Over the decades, we have consistently upheld our commitment to problem-solving, developing a comprehensive range of facial care products and more that deliver genuine results while remaining exceptionally gentle on your skin.
Today, Simple® is a widely recognized face care brand in the UK and continues to grow in popularity globally, bringing our kind-to-skin philosophy to more people than ever before.
Our Skincare Philosophy: Embracing Your Unique Skin
At Simple®, we believe that all skin deserves gentle care, and that the concept of 'good' or 'bad' skin is simply not how we see it. In our world, there is only 'your' skin – unique and deserving of understanding.
Whether your skin is dry, oily, dehydrated, prone to blemishes, pigmented, flaky, or has an uneven texture, these are all entirely normal variations. We are here to provide you with clear, factual information and effective products to help you feel confident and comfortable in your own beautiful skin.
Our Mission: Transparency and Simplicity in Skincare
You can always trust Simple® to be honest and straightforward. Our core mission is to cut through unnecessary complexity and confusion in the skincare world, championing transparency and honesty above all else. We strive to make it easy for everyone to understand what truly benefits their skin.
Our Commitments: Kind to Skin, Kind to Planet
Just as we are dedicated to creating products that are kind to your skin, being mindful of our planet is equally important to us. We are actively taking steps to minimize our environmental impact and contribute positively to the world around us.
Cruelty-Free Certified by PETA
We are incredibly proud to be PETA approved, which means Simple® products are not tested on animals anywhere in the world. We firmly believe that safe and effective products for humans can and should be developed using non-animal testing approaches.
