About Philosophy

Philosophy is a brand that stands out not just for its skincare and cosmetic products, but for the values and principles it embodies. Founded in 1996 by Cristina Carlino, Philosophy began with a vision to bridge the gap between what was offered in doctors' offices and retail, making medical beauty accessible to all.

The brand's philosophy is rooted in the belief that beauty is more than skin deep. It's about radiating grace and embracing wellbeing. Philosophy's products are designed to enhance your beauty from the inside out, focusing on high-quality ingredients that deliver results while nourishing the skin. Their skincare line, fragrances, and bath & body products are crafted to uplift and inspire, offering an olfactory and sensory experience that goes beyond mere cosmetics.

Philosophy's commitment to wellbeing extends to its charitable efforts. The hope & grace initiative is a testament to the brand's dedication to mental health, contributing to community-based mental health efforts. This reflects the brand's broader commitment to making a positive impact on the world, not just through its products but through its actions.

The brand's history is marked by innovation and a focus on customer needs. From the launch of its first product, purity made simple, to the introduction of in-home peel products, Philosophy has always been at the forefront of skincare innovation. The brand's approach is to target delivery for efficacy in a gentle way, amplify the potency of actives, and deliver feel-good textures guided by dermatologic wisdom.

Philosophy's products are a reflection of its name, offering a thoughtful approach to beauty and self-care. Each product is an invitation to nurture your skin and soul, to take a moment for yourself, and to reflect on the grace and beauty that life offers. It's a brand that encourages you to live joyously, to cherish each moment, and to approach every day with a positive outlook.

In essence, Philosophy is more than a brand; it's a way of life. It's about finding balance, embracing love and grace, and celebrating the beauty in ourselves and in the world around us. It's a reminder that we are all philosophers at heart, seeking to live a good life filled with meaning and purpose.
