LOA SKIN was created with a clear mission: to empower humans from all walks of life to overcome their skin adversity. Founders Tyler Yang and Spencer Angeltvedt struggled with inflammatory skin conditions (acne, eczema and exfoliative cheilitis) and could not find effective solutions without side effects. After years of frustration and experimentation, they created LOA SKIN, a brand focused on developing natural and effective skincare products. Their commitment to clean, non-toxic ingredients has led to the development of products that not only address skin issues, but also promote overall skin health. In addition to their skincare line, LOA SKIN also recently introduced the pamela cloud jewelry collection, a line of sustainably sourced and beautifully handcrafted jewelry pieces that complement their philosophy of empowerment and self-care.
Their hero product, Botanical Recovery Serum, was soon born as an efficacious formula to combat the underlying nutritional deficiencies people with acne and eczema can have.
The duo prides themselves on educating the customer first to empower them to make the right decisions for their skin and understand how LOA SKIN formulas work. They consistently choose ingredients based on efficacy, never trending ingredients.
The formulation ethos is centred around creating formulas that work and provide the basis for foundational skin health. As a brand, LOA SKIN is interested in maintaining long-term relationships with clients and ensuring everyone feels radiant for all the big moments in their lives.
MEET SPENCER ANGELTVEDT
As Head of Product, Spencer Angeltvedt has been formulating skincare for almost a decade. He has a keen eye for sifting through clinical data as it relates to skin health and surfacing actionable insights for efficacious formulas. He has played a key role in ensuring all products and packaging meet rigorous standards and certifications such as vegan and cruelty-free, palm oil-free, organic, carbon offsetting, etc.
MEET TYLER YANG
As Head of Brand + Marketing, Tyler Yang brings his expertise from previous startups and his time at Shopify, a major player in the e-commerce SAAS industry. He believes branding is an art and loves understanding all the components that make them magnetic and contagious. He has played an integral role in our visual brand and sharing LOA SKIN‘s voice through all digital platforms.
IN THEIR WORDS
“When our clients share their success stories, we feel truly heard and seen as founders and formulators. We put so much thought, research and testing into each of our formulas that can go unnoticed by those that aren’t in the beauty industry. So seeing real people feeling more empowered because they’ve overcome some level of skin adversity is so incredibly rewarding.
“As a beauty brand centred on skin adversity, we understand and respect the unique adversity our planet faces due to human impact. This is why we work closely with our partners at Ecologi to offset our carbon footprint and plant a tree for every order.
“Moving forward, LOA SKIN is expanding its online and offline multi-channel offerings. We’re excited to host key regional pop-up shops, localize our packaging and offering for international markets and leverage key partnerships to tap into each other’s audiences.”
