Values-Based Skincare for Minimalists and Conscious Consumers

This is the skincare you’ve been searching for.

Ever feel like skincare is more complicated than it needs to be? If you’ve caught yourself asking, “What’s a minimalist skincare brand that works for sensitive skin?” or “Which skincare lines are founded by an esthetician? Is there a brand that supports aging gracefully?”—you’re exactly where you need to be.

Welcome to Cult of Reason—where pragmatic beauty meets the slow beauty philosophy. We keep it simple: clean, gender-neutral skincare that fits into your routine without the extra noise, delivering visible results you can feel.


Expertise You Can Trust

Angela Hugghins, award-winning facialist and founder of Monarch Brow + Facial Studio and Cult of Reason, knows skincare. After 26 years working hands-on with clients, she’s learned what works and what doesn’t. Her approach? Keep it straightforward and intentional. Every product is esthetician-founded and formulated, bringing you effective skincare without the guesswork or gimmicks.


Foundational Products That Work Hard—So You Don’t Have To

We believe your routine should work smarter, not harsher. That’s why our essential lineup delivers maximum results with minimal steps:

  • Grit Sulfur Scrub: With a satisfying texture that deeply exfoliates, leaving skin balanced and smooth. No plastic microbeads or chunks of fruit pits!

  • 💧 Quench Snow Mushroom Hydrating Serum: Lightweight yet powerful, this serum floods your skin with hydration, enhancing elasticity and glow.

  • 🌿 Shield Bakuchiol Face Oil: A gentle, plant-based retinol alternative that supports well-aging without irritation—perfect for sensitive skin.

  • 🫧 Bare Sunflower Cleanser: Gel-to-cream goodness that melts away makeup and daily grime without stripping your skin. Coming very soon!

These products form the foundation of a slow beauty routine—supporting your skin’s health for the long haul, not just quick fixes.


Slow Beauty, Made for Real Life

Slow beauty isn’t about chasing flawless skin or complicated routines. It’s about skincare that supports your skin’s natural rhythm—thoughtful, gentle, and crafted to last. We focus on what matters: small-batch, plant-based products that keep your skin healthy, hydrated, and glowing.

Because great skin shouldn’t feel like a full-time job.
