Our Story
“I just wanted to know what actually works.”
The Problem —
I was standing in front of the shelf, holding a bottle with an ingredient list so long I couldn't even get through it — a wall of names I had no way to make sense of. Was any of this actually good for my skin? Were these real, effective ingredients, or just cheap chemicals dressed up in nice packaging? Every brand made big promises, but not one of them would give me a straight answer to the only question that mattered:
What does my skin actually need?
The Attempt —
So I went looking for answers the way everyone does now — scrolling through Instagram and TikTok, reading Reddit threads and skincare forums, comparing reviews and watching countless “holy grail” routines. But the more I looked, the more confusing it got: one creator swore by an ingredient the next one warned against, half of it was paid promotion, and the rest was vague marketing. I even used AI to help me cut through the noise — and still, finding something honest, effective, and actually made in Europe without costing a fortune felt almost impossible.
Endless scrolling. Contradictory advice. Reviews you couldn't trust. The information was out there somewhere — but no brand was willing to just show you what's inside, and why.
The Decision —
At some point it became obvious to me that the brand I was looking for simply didn't exist — a brand that shows you exactly what's inside, explains why every ingredient is there, and helps you build a routine that's made for your skin and nothing else. So at 15 years old, I decided to build it myself. Not because I set out to start a company, but because I genuinely couldn't find what I was looking for anywhere else.
FORMA is not for everyone. It's for the people who want to understand what they're putting on their skin, who don't need ten products when three of the right ones will do, and who believe that science should always come before marketing. We show you exactly what's inside — and exactly why it works.
