About Time We Met (ATWM) is your skin's new best friend - clean, inclusive, Australian-made skincare combining nature and science for powerful results. They take a curious, open-minded approach to skincare, using only premium natural ingredients for products and routines that are simple, uncomplicated, and efficacious to bring out your inner glow.
The magic behind these formulations? Indian Sandalwood (Santalum album), an impressive active and all-natural ingredient with proven efficacy. As one of the most luxurious essential oils in the world, it was discovered millennia ago and is now making a comeback thanks to modern science.
Sandalwood, Our Hero
Used for prayer, meditation, healing, and relaxation since ancient times, today, millions of people have a spiritual connection to sandalwood. It has a rich history as an active skincare ingredient that treats skin conditions, from dull skin tone and fine lines to breakouts and blemishes. It's why this precious and efficacious ingredient is a holy grail ingredient for About Time We Met. They combine it with the best high-performance, active ingredients, so our formulas provide potent results and healthy, glowing skin.
Like An Old Friend
One of the first known beauty icons, Cleopatra, was said to rave about sandalwood, marvelling at its glow-inducing effect and using it as part of her daily skin routine. Today, About Time We Met uses this royally precious ingredient to combat damage caused by blue light and pollution, reduce the appearance of breakouts and blemishes, minimise fine lines, brighten skin tone, and soothe skin. Sandalwood is what makes each ATWM product an effortless solution for all skin types.
An Inclusive Range
Confidence can come from feeling comfortable in your skin, so these products are formulated for you, your sisters, brothers, mothers, fathers, and friends. Each product is uncomplicated and all-natural making it beneficial no matter what your skin type - combo, oily, or dry. Blemishes are reduced with regular use of our Foaming Cleanser, Repair Serum and AHA Clay Mask, and our sandalwood-powered Glow Day Cream, Radiance Serum, Naturally Brilliant Oil and Restore Night Cream are great for plumping and smoothing skin.
Super-Duper Healthy
Skin is your body's largest organ and absorbs whatever you put on it, so what is left out of these products is just as important as what is put into them. You won't find any fillers, silicones, drying alcohols, fragrances, dyes, parabens, GMOs, sulfate, phthalates, or talc. Just healthy, skin-loving ingredients that are good for you and great for your skin. An impressive eight of these nine products are at least 99% natural. The remaining 1% comprises a preservative system that makes sure these products and your skin are safe from harmful bacteria. While natural preservatives are available, they're still searching for the one that is as effective as phenoxyethanol, which is found naturally in green tea and chicory, but is recreated in a lab as a synthetic suitable for skincare products.
Being Real
ATWM is not only obsessed with natural ingredients; they love your face in all its natural, imperfect glory. Social media has seen comparison standards become more extreme and unrealistic. Zoom features like 'touch up my appearance' offer a flawless complexion and editing apps such as FaceTune report over one million edited images exported daily. Because your skin has its very own emotional life, every act of care, love, laughter, and stress you encounter shows on your face. They believe well-being and beautiful skin go hand in hand, so no matter your age, they're are there to help. That's what friends are for.
