BEAUTY FOR ALL: MALIN+GOETZ
The universal skincare saviour
Words by Christina Ko
Melding advanced technology with natural ingredients and sleek design, Malin+Goetz is one of the foremost names in fuss-free beauty. In the decade and a half since its launch, the brand has managed to transform into a global empire, and it’s no surprise to skincare lovers. The products are simple, sophisticated and successful – they work.
What’s particularly interesting about Malin+Goetz is the way that they offer targeted solutions for all kinds of individuals, from the working parent to the nature-loving hippie and even newborn babies. Here are just a few of our all-time favourites.

The sensorial approach Malin+Goetz takes to skincare is perfect for those who love the clean feeling you get from products packed with cooling herbs, such as peppermint and eucalyptus. The Peppermint Shampoo is a longtime bestseller thanks to its hero ingredient, peppermint oil, which naturally cleanses and clarifies the scalp. Meanwhile, the Eucalyptus Hand+Body Wash foams up with an amino acid-based agent, and has the added bonus of glycerin to deliver on smoothness and hydration.

The term “maskne” may have only been around for a few months, but it has already found its spot in the household vernacular. Clear out pores with the Detox Face Mask, a five-minute oxygenating formula that soothes and balances skin without drying it out. Follow up with the Resurfacing Face Serum, a three-in-one gel that uses AHAs and vitamin C to gently remove impurities and add radiance, with a nice dose of niacinamide to minimise pores.

It’s easy to forget the fleeting moments of one's early life when skin irritation didn’t exist or have any bearing on routine. That’s exactly why the Vitamin B5 Body Moisturiser is perfect for little ones – it’s intensively hydrating, and filled with B5 and shea butter to deeply nourish without triggering sensitivity. Most importantly, the cream is absorbed quickly, so there’s no icky residue left behind that will transfer onto furniture. A parent’s dream.
