MARIA ÅKERBERG has been redefining skincare through a holistic approach to beauty and well-being for more than 30 years, long before sustainability became a global concern. The Swedish brand is pioneering cleaner formulas, transparency and natural ingredients with products that enhance the natural defences of the skin – for a healthier, happier and more luminous self.

When Maria Åkerberg, founder and CEO of MARIA ÅKERBERG, embarked on her skincare journey, the beauty landscape looked very different from today: ingredients were hidden and most products relied heavily on synthetic chemicals. Inspired by her grandmother, who crafted homemade natural beauty and health remedies, Maria set out to prove that true beauty comes from nature itself. “My grandmother’s ethos is infused into the brand, using plants and herbs with qualities that have real effects. Our products are made to help the skin help itself with ingredients that nourish, moisturise and restore its natural protective barrier,” says Åkerberg.

Today, the brand offers a complete range of facial, body, hair and baby care to makeup and men’s grooming products. Each formula combines vitamins, antioxidants, salts, lactic acids and natural preservatives from ingredients commonly found in nature: red clover, nettle, juniper berry, horse-chestnut, honey, beeswax, algae, clay, sunflower oil – researched and refined for skincare with visible, lasting results.

With deep roots in the Scandinavian climate, MARIA ÅKERBERG developed its own philosophy and method, Deepskin Organics®, to address the change in seasons. The skin consists of different layers and the method is adapted to nourish accordingly when temperatures drop to freezing – from the right cleanser, exfoliation, face mask, serum, day and night creams, and sun protection.

“Skincare should change just as we adapt our clothing to the seasons. While serums and creams provide summer skin with essential moisture, oils and thick balms protect it against cold and wind during winter. Our products are designed to work together – to soothe, protect and strengthen the skin, reflecting our belief in the holistic connection between body, mind and nature,” says Åkerberg.

MARIA ÅKERBERG continues to trailblaze the market for conscious beauty with skincare powered by nature, science and a true belief in making a positive impact on both people and the planet.
