Skōud Cosmetics: Where Innovation Meets Elegance in Skincare

Designed by Studio Last

The Creative Direction and visual identity of Skōud Cosmetics embody innovation and sophistication. As the pioneering luxury skincare brand developed by cosmetic scientists in Germany, it seamlessly merges beauty with scientific proficiency. The visual identity of Skōud Cosmetics is meticulously designed to illustrate the harmony between nature and science. Each aspect, from color schemes to typography, is selected to reflect the brand’s premium yet welcoming image. By integrating contemporary design with natural elements, the brand underscores its dedication to effective, natural skincare solutions.

Skōud, an acronym for Skincare Knowledge of Unique Definition, encapsulates a new and distinct approach to skincare expertise. The name echoes the word "Scout" intentionally, symbolizing the brand's mission to guide, support, and solve skincare challenges. Dr. Nini Nielson and Dr. Julia Mader, who have been running a consulting agency for cosmetic companies since 2019, bring their extensive research on skin health to the forefront with Skōud Skin Health. For the first time, their scientific insights are made accessible through their proprietary skincare line, emphasizing the foundational benefits for maintaining healthy skin.
