Gressa Skin

A tiny, founder-run botanical house whose serum-foundation treats skin as it covers.

Our take

Why We Trust This Brand

A genuinely small, founder-owned-and-operated indie with unusually minimalist, transparent formulas and organic botanical actives rather than synthetic fillers.

What's inside

Ingredients & Safety

The Minimalist Serum Foundation is a skincare-makeup hybrid — cold-pressed broccoli-seed oil and coconut-derived emollients carry a healing complex of milk thistle, neem, horsetail, and sea buckthorn, with only mineral pigments for shade. No synthetic fragrance, parabens, or talc.
