OMY - The World's First Personalized Refillable Skincare

I am in love with this product line! Not only is Omy female-owned, it is fully customizable for your unique skincare needs.

Made in Quebec, this skincare collection is vegan, cruelty free, hypoallergenic, tested by dermatologists, and the beautiful glass bottle packaging is also innovative and sustainable. It is the first refillable, fully recyclable, customized system – an airless system which keeps product super fresh and stops oxidation.

Personalization is the core of the company along with being inclusive and customer service focused. You can actually book a video conference via their help centre to help you select the formulation just right for you. But, if you prefer – you will also complete a comprehensive online quiz that will determine your best formulation.

I was able to participate in a virtual tour tour of how each product is custom made, one by one, in their lab. So much care and attention is taken to ensure your product meets the highest standards. The final touch is a personalized label with your name – showing you who made your product.
