Beauty brands that think outside the gender box
Blurring the lines between masculinity and femininity: here are five great beauty products that go either way
Season after season, fashion runways have been dabbling in more gender neutral collections that straddle the lines of conformity to promote individuality. The beauty industry is following suit and kicking gender boxes out the door as products sit in the fence of masculinity and femininity. These are the five gender inclusive brands that are all about fluidity.
GLAMGLOW
Created by a male and female duo to suit all skin types and genders, Glam Glow makes sharing your products with your significant other fun with their texture-morphing formulas and instagrammable packaging.
Glamglow is available at Edgars, Woolworths and Foschini.
SKIN 689
Hydrated skin is always a need, regardless of gender and this intensely hydrating sheet mask contains hyaluronuic acid, coconut extract and adenosine to boost moisture levels in the skin.
D&G VELVET COLLECTION
A hub of every note combination and scent you could ever want, Dolce and Gabbana’s private collection of fragrances is as luxurious as they are diverse ranging from notes of fresh bergamot, classic roses to incense infused leather– plus they are all unisex.
CK ONE
A brand that prided itself on its gender fluidity as early on as the 90s with ad campaigns of models sporting the signature t-shirt and jeans uniform across all genders, their CK fragrances are democratically composed to have just the right amount of freshness and sensuality in the notes that both men and women love.
OOLALA
A locally produced brand started by entrepreneur Daniella Shapiro, Oolala is a unisex collection of skincare ranges categorized only by skin types and concerns. With their hydrating formulas and neutral scent – this is the happy medium for both male and female.
