The NEW Indie Skincare Brand Sweet To Your Skin & The Planet
What do we get from farms? The food on our tables, milk in our coffees, and (now!) the ingredients in our skincare. Fresh from the farm, Kelsey Skincare is a new brand planting raspberries on the skincare scene with a science-driven approach.

This tale begins on an ol’ English family farm filled with juicy raspberries. Founder Paul Kelsey swapped his farmers’ hat for a lab coat and found that raspberries have untapped beauty benefits *cue gasp*. With the help of experts and cutting-edge scientific research, he curated a delicious raspberry-focused skincare range that we tried (and loved).
Why Raspberries?

Raspberries contain skin-loving vitamins, minerals, and omega fatty acids that boost collagen levels and lock in hydration. They’re also potent antioxidants, which means they protect against skin-damaging free radicals that ruin your glow game, thereby keeping your skin looking fresh, full, and firm 24/7. No wonder they use EVERY bit of the fruit – including the leaves – in their formulas. Think of them as Mother Nature’s “superfood candy.”
The Special Sauce: EZ Rubus ID
*Swings lab coat on.* Have you ever seen a raspberry seed? This tiny (but mighty) seed contains powerful oils capable of sprouting, feeding, and nurturing a whole NEW plant. In other words, it’s a nutrition jackpot. Thankfully, Kelsey asked experts to help him extract the oil, now called EZ Rubus ID. Easy to absorb because of its tiny molecular size, it’s their star ingredient thanks to its ability to penetrate the deepest layers of your skin and make your complexion look (and feel) firmer, smoother, and softer.
