Biography: For People With Character (And Glowy Skin)
If your skincare regimen could tell a story, how would it read? Ours would be a coming-of-age love story detailing a quest for clean, mindfully made oils able to contend with our ever-changing skin concerns. Lucky for us, our skin memoirs have been written: Welcome to Biography’s Active Face Oils.

Biography’s entire line consists solely of four luxurious, not to mention vegan and cruelty-free, Active Face Oils. However, using much more than those four as part of your daily beauty routine would be superfluous. There is no need for other creams and moisturizers as the leading active ingredient in all of them is camellia seed oil, which locks in moisture and nourishes the skin at the forefront. A number of other sustainably sourced natural ingredients are ingeniously combined to tackle other skin issues as needed in each equally sustainable glass bottle.
WHAT’S IN YOUR BIOGRAPHY?
Jojoba, rosehip fruit, pomegranate and natural algae are just some of the components of Biography’s Golden Ray Glow Drops that work together to boost collagen, promote elasticity and diminish fine lines while giving you a radiant glow. Long June Every Day Drops’ lightweight formula soothes sensitive skin and reduces redness using native elements like calendula, chamomile flower and vitamin E. When I’m looking to restore damaged skin (especially after a summer spent in the sun), I turn to Petty Grudges Renew Drops for a deeper solution that uses blackcurrant seed, evening primrose and sandalwood oils to name a few. We can’t forget to mention that Biography’s niche oil, Few Words Shave Drops, prevents skin irritation and protects hair from my razor a la aloe leaf, sandalwood and lemongrass oils. The smell alone is divine.
As we mentioned, sustainability is of the utmost importance to Biography founder and creator, Linda Thompson, a commitment apparent throughout the thoughtful production of each storied face oil.
Biography only uses ingredients outsourced from their small fair trade partners that do not deplete the natural environment of their origin. As the active ingredients protect our skin, each glass bottle is coated with a seal that protects the oils from UV-ray degradation and the ink used on the outside is vegan soy-based. They even promote using the cloth pouches included in their gorgeous packaging for jewelry or travel bags as a second life. This is a brand that encourages reusing, repurposing and sustainability on all fronts!
