Exceptional textures for modern bodies

May 23, 2025 — Soft Services newsletter

Silky, smooth, soft, and solid.

For decades, it has seemed like skincare efficacy often came at the cost of experience—texture, scent, and feel were sacrificed in the name of results. The better a product worked, the more unpleasantly unbearable it seemed to be. At Soft Services, we use the phrase “Everything Can Be Different” as a guiding ethos when thinking about a challenge, unconventional opportunity, or hard-to-execute idea. And yes, this includes innovating on formula textures too.
