FINE COSMETICS, BERLIN

It all started with a humble deodorant. When German art curator, urban researcher and Iyengar yoga teacher Judith Springer couldn´t find a deodorant on the market that would satisfy her needs as an aesthete, a perfectionist and a clean living enthusiast, she decided to create one herself. The result is the most unique and luxurious deodorant ever. Conceived in Berlin and made in Germany, certified organic and 100% vegan, sustainably produced, cruelty-free, packed in uber-stylish glass jars and smelling just divine (it comes with a wooden spatula made by people with special needs), FINE deodorant has quickly swept away bloggers and It girls alike. Since then the demand for more FINE products, and especially perfumes replicating the scents of the deodorant (vetiver-geranium, and cedar-bergamot) has been relentless. Finally, last December, Judith satisfied her fans demands: with 2 perfumes featuring the bouquets of the deodorants; and 3 luxury body serums that are an innovation in the body care sphere. “I have always mixed high quality facial oil with a powerful moisturizing serum to give my face that extra-luxurious treat. But I have always wondered why one does that only to the face. I loved the idea to give my whole body that same indulgent experience: so I´ve created a two-phase oil-serum potion for the body“ Judith tells us. Formulated with a mix of nourishing oils and hyaluronic acid and enriched with pure essential oils, seaweed extracts and Australian bush flower essences “to take care of the body in holistic way” these serums transform your skin, and will make sure the usual body lotion will become a thing of the past. There is an Energy Serum, revitalising and uplifting, perfect for after the morning shower; a Focus Serum aimed to support concentration; and a Peace Serum, to be applied at night, to prep the skin for a peaceful sleep (50ml 22 euro, 200ml 44 euro, set of 3 of 50ml, 50 euro). And for the joy of FINE aficionados, more products are in the pipeline. “I am working on a high potency face mask to be released next year. And I have many ideas for products in the drawer, like a good hand cream with SPF. They will all follow my motto: don´t release something that already exists. In an affluent society, I only create products I personally feel the need for”.
