Founder Story
A Note From Monica
Hey, friend. Monica here, founder of Berlin Skin.
I know what it's like to struggle with cystic acne, dry skin, and hyperpigmentation. It's awful to not feel confident in your own skin.
I've developed a line of products to take you through all seasons of the year, and all seasons of life.
We are family owned with no outside investors. We work out of a small studio in Oregon. When you buy our products, you are supporting me, my family, and those who work for us. Thank you.
Cheers to great skin!
Legacy
Berlin Skin is inspired by my German Grandmother who always taught me that less is more when it comes to caring for our skin. She was a skincare minimalist before it was trendy, and she helped me lay a solid foundation for the health of my skin.
Ute is a firm believer that if you use nourishing, high-quality products, you don’t need a 12-step routine. She also taught me that sticking to the fundamentals is how we get the best results for our skin over time. As you can probably tell, our entire brand is built upon her philosophy and knowledge, and I love that we get to honor her as we share Berlin Skin with others.

About Monica
When I'm not running the day-to-day operations at Berlin Skin, I love traveling, dreaming, spending time with my family, and I'm always down for a nightly sauna session. I love to indulge in slow and quiet mornings, and I always prioritize making time to laugh and have fun with the people I love.
When it comes to my skincare routine, it changes with the seasons, but the thing that stays the same is that I take my time and keep it simple. I don’t rush through it, but rather take the opportunity to slow down and ground myself while caring for my skin and mind.
My hope is that the experience of my brand not only brings you healthier skin, but sparks more rest, creativity, and contentment in your life.
