    Cleansers

    HI, WE ARE ANIA

    We feel disconnected from the beauty movement that values excess. We want to slow things down and make sustainable beauty essentials that are designed to last.

    CLEAN BEAUTY THAT WORKS

    Founders Mehdi and Fern worked for several years on some of the largest skincare brands in the world. Over time it became increasingly clear to them that the skincare industry was in the midst of a deep moral and ethical crisis, as animal testing and toxic ingredients increasingly faced resistance and pushback. 

    There must be a better way.
    A new way that looks at sustainable and clean ingredients beyond a fleeting trend du jour.

    DEFINING ‘CLEAN’ BEAUTY

    We started ANIA with a single-minded ambition, becoming the ‘cleanest skincare brand in existence’. To reach our ambition, we embarked on years of R&D, studying every skincare ingredient in the world, establishing its efficacy and safety. Our list of restricted ingredients combines research and clinical studies from multiple institutions, making it the strictest ‘blacklist’ in the world.

    This is our promise to you, when we say that our products or ingredients are clean, you can take our word for it. And because science keeps moving, we keep our ‘blacklist’ up-to-date and upgrade our formulations accordingly.

    Growing up in Africa

    By the time he was 10, ANIA co-founder Mehdi had already lived in Morocco, Sudan and Egypt — moving with his family every few years as he followed his father's work with the United Nations in Africa. He spent his childhood absorbing and discovering the beauty of Africa’s nature and learnt about traditional remedies that have been used for centuries.

    Little did he know that these would one day lead him to the creation of ANIA. When he moved to Singapore in 2012 the contrast in environments left a great impact on how he viewed the world and solidified his belief to never lose sight of his African roots.
