Who We Are
SZIA SKIN is a health-conscious beauty brand infusing traditional spa practices with modern science for whole body wellness. We develop natural and effective skincare from highly selective ingredients.
Our mission is to formulate with low-PUFA oils and natural fragrances that not only make you look and feel good, but also support your well-being.
Our vision is to deepen the connection we have with our bodies and physiological knowledge to ensure a healthy and fulfilling life.
Our Inspiration
SZIA SKIN is inspired by the rich bathing culture in Europe and the maximalist mosaics of the Budapest bath houses.
Our Standards
LOW-PUFA OILS
We use only low-PUFA oils that are naturally more stable and resistant to oxidation, so they stay fresh longer and protect your skin.
NATURAL FRAGRANCE
Scented with vanilla CO₂ and oleoresin for a rich, full aroma and added skin benefits, never artificial fragrance or endocrine-disrupting toxins.
GLASS BOTTLES
Packaged in glass to reduce plastic use, protect your health, and elevate the experience.
Our Founder
After graduating as a chemical engineer and navigating my own health challenges, including hypothyroidism, I came across the work of biologist Ray Peat. His research on the effects of high-PUFA seed oils and their role in thyroid function and skin health completely reframed the way I looked at skincare.
Most natural products formulate with unstable oils, even the ones marketed as "clean" and "safe". So, I started blending my own formulas in my tiny apartment kitchen. Simple, stable oils that aligned with Peat’s principles and worked in harmony with the skin.
What began as a personal experiment turned into SZIA SKIN, a line dedicated to creating effective, “seed oil”-free skincare without fillers or greenwashed claims. Every formula is designed from a selective list of stable, high-quality oils and botanicals, chosen not just for how they feel, but for how they protect the skin over time.
