How plants transformed my skin

"At Clàirmont, plants aren’t just replacements for synthetic ingredients—they’re the foundation"

Andrew here, founder of Clàirmont Skincare. 

I wanted to share why I quit my job as an engineer to start a skincare company.

For 15 years, I struggled with every skin type—oily, dry, combination, and sensitive. I spent years testing high-end products that promised miracles to drugstore staples everyone swore by, but nothing worked. 

That’s when I started approaching skincare the way I would approach my job: by identifying the root problem and searching for a better, innovative solution. Here’s what I found: I found that synthetic chemicals, while effective, were very harsh on my skin. These chemicals stripped and irritated my skin, turning it red, dry, and flaky. I was trading one problem for another.

These types of chemicals are prevalent in the skincare industry, and rightfully so. They’re cost-effective, but ultimately comes at the cost of your skin’s natural balance.

My skincare journey led me to explore plant-based ingredients, and what I discovered took me by surprise.

Plants aren’t just gentle–they’re powerful. They’re nature’s greatest innovation, refined over millions of years to protect, heal, and nourish our environment and bodies. Packed with natural nutrients, antioxidants, and compounds, plants worked to support my skin’s natural balance, not fight against it. Plants empowered my skin to heal. The irritation disappeared, and the breakouts subsided. And for the first time in years, my skin felt truly healthy.

That’s when it clicked. If plants could do this for me, why wasn’t anyone creating skincare for men like me? Unlike harsh synthetic chemicals that strip your skin and throw it off balance, plant-based ingredients work with your skin to restore its natural harmony. My transformation showed me that the right ingredients can be life-changing, and I believe more men can benefit from plant-powered skincare.

At Clàirmont, plants aren’t just replacements for synthetic ingredients—they’re the foundation. This principle led me to leave my job and partner with a trusted skincare manufacturer with over 30 years of experience to bring plant-first skincare to men. The result? Skincare that delivers healthier, calmer, and balanced skin, and a brand that believes skincare should work in harmony with your skin, not against it.

Clàirmont exists because I know what it feels like to struggle with your skin–and how good it feels to find products that feel like it was made for your skin. Whether you’re just beginning your skincare journey or searching for something that finally works, Clàirmont is here to help you achieve the skin you deserve.

Hidden Dangers in Skincare Products

Harsh Chemicals

A study by the Environmental Working Group found that men use an average of six personal care products daily, exposing themselves to 85 different chemicals. These include ingredients like formaldehyde, phthalates, parabens, and sulfates—all of which can disrupt hormones and pose significant health risks linked to endocrine diseases and some types of cancer.
