Lipsch - Skincare

Founded in 2016 in Berlin by perfumer and designer Mara Lipsch, Lipsch began as a tiny studio making scent-led gifts for friends. The brand gained buzz in its first two years after a cult candle and a best-selling eau de parfum landed on editors’ radar. Today Lipsch is known for bright, modern florals and textured ambers that feel luxe but easy. Categories span fragrance, selective makeup staples and gentle skincare, all aimed at people who like personality in their products.

House style & materials

Lipsch favors clear, modern accords: rose, amber, citrus, and weathered woods. Ingredients are sourced across Europe with a focus on quality aromatics and natural isolates. Formats include EDPs, parfum concentrates and concentrated scented oils, and select lines offer refill options for major sizes. Bottles are weighty with matte caps and playful labels that feel like tiny art prints.

Skincare & makeup approach

Skincare from Lipsch leans simple and gentle, with lightweight serums, gels and balms. Key actives include hydrating humectants and antioxidant-rich extracts to support everyday glow. Textures are smooth and fast-absorbing, suited to normal and combination skin types, with options for sensitive skin in fragrance-light formulas. Makeup keeps the same ethos: modern shades, buildable textures and fuss-free application.

Who it suits & how to use

Lipsch is perfect for beginners and scent lovers who want statement fragrances without drama. The lineup skews unisex, friendly for daytime wear and night adventures. For layering, try a light spritz of a citrus eau de parfum first, then add a dab of a warmer body oil from the same family to deepen the drydown. Products also make chic gifts for creative friends.
