Meet the founder and superfood mixologist behind Graydon Skincare!

Say hello to your new favourite skincare brand- Graydon Skincare. The brand features plant-based, results-driven ingredients including botanical retinol, collagen, probiotics, and gemstone crystals! Not only are the products incredible, but, they’re also dermatologist and clinically tested, hypoallergenic, non-irritating, vegan, and cruelty-free. 

Today, HOLR is sitting down to chat with the founder who started it all, Graydon Moffat. Keep reading to learn all about her and Graydon Skincare – a brand that’s here to serve up good skin days, every day, to faces all around the world.

Talk to us about how you got into the beauty industry and the journey that led to you creating your brand, Graydon Skincare. 

I actually started as a vegan chef and yoga instructor. My love for nutrient-dense ingredients and healing inspired me to concoct skincare products in my kitchen using my favourite superfood ingredients and trusted stick blender. I shared those creations with my yoga students and the feedback was glowing! That motivated me to combine my two passions and create Graydon Skincare.

How is Graydon Skincare reimagining the beauty industry as a green beauty brand that uses pure, plant-based ingredients?

There are a lot of natural skincare and green beauty brands out there. I think what sets us apart is that we go beyond plant-based ingredients and focus on superfood ingredients. We’re dedicated to figuring out how those foods that are so good for you when ingested, can be beneficial when applied topically. As I mentioned, Graydon Skincare started in my kitchen and even though we’ve grown, our formulas are still very much inspired by my culinary background and holistic approach to healing. I like to think that Graydon Skincare is a wellness brand and not just a beauty brand. 

Tell us about the types of products we can shop for from the brand- what do we need to add to our carts ASAP and what makes them unique?

The Graydon Skincare lineup includes body and hair products but our real focus is on face products. We offer cleansers, serums, and moisturizers for all skin types and everything can be combined to create a sustainable skincare routine that gives you good skin days, every day!

The Graydon Skincare product that you need to try right now is definitely Fullmoon Serum! It’s a lightweight, hydrating, water-based serum that’s formulated with a retinol alternative from moth bean extract. Moth beans are an edible, nutrient-dense legume. When applied topically, moth bean extract helps to speed cell renewal and boost collagen production, so it has the benefits of conventional retinol without the side effects. 

Where can we shop for Graydon Skincare?

You can shop our full line of products at graydonskincare.com. We also have a wide variety of incredible retailers across North America and one in Hong Kong. We recently launched at Shoppers Drug Mart and The Bay so we’re really proud of this milestone. I encourage you to check our store locator to find your closest Graydon Skincare retailer. 

With sustainability being an important part of your brand’s mission, can you share a little bit about your partnership with the Ocean Legacy Foundation?

Our commitment to helping the beauty community move towards a healthier future for our planet is of the utmost importance to us! Our sustainable packaging initiatives include using PCR plastics, glass bottles, and refillable pods. We’re working towards eliminating single-use packaging and ensuring that every component of our packaging is 100% recyclable. 

We’ve partnered with The Ocean Legacy Foundation to help divert plastic waste from the landfill. For every 30ml bottle of Fullmoon Serum that we sell on our website, we donate $1 to the Ocean Legacy Foundation. So there’s another great reason to try our Fullmoon Serum; you’ll be helping your skin and the planet!

What does the future hold for Graydon Skincare?

We’re actually getting ready to launch a brand-new product called Moon Boost Serum. I’m so excited about this product! It’s a velvety-smooth, non-comedogenic oil serum that’s loaded with seven vitamins to really nourish thirsty skin. It’s been a long time in the making and I can’t wait for everyone to try it!
