Norse Organics, a Norwegian skincare company, has created a niche in the skincare industry by using rare Arctic plants and beeswax to effectively remove acne bacteria and prevent future breakouts.
Having successfully launched across the US, EU and selling-out in just one month in Australia, their “Kill Acne & Redness Ritual” has gained a loyal following, positioning Norse Organics as an exciting natural alternative to traditional acne treatments.
Approaching Acne
Acne affects 85% of all Australians aged 15-24, according to a study from The Australasian College of Dermatologists [1], with some adults continuing to experience acne into their 50’s. The persistence of acne is largely due to the fact that acne-causing bacteria has developed a resistance to common antimicrobials.
Many ‘over-the-counter’, conventional treatments are becoming less effective due to this resistance, prompting acne sufferers to seek natural alternatives [2]. Norse Organics stands out by exclusively using 100% natural ingredients, including beeswax and plant extracts to tackle acne.
All-Natural Ingredients
Norse Organics’ skincare range has been meticulously developed over the past five years, combining a blend of beeswax and Arctic-sourced plant extract. The effectiveness of these products stems from their naturally powerful ingredients.
Plants native to the Arctic are rich in nutrients and antioxidants, enabling them to thrive in harsh environments. Key ingredients in Norse Organics’ products include sea buckthorn, marigold, rose hips, and pomegranate.
Beeswax is a multi-purposeful ingredient [3]. It moisturises the skin, while creating a protective barrier which aids the absorption of plant extracts into the skin cells. This allows acne to be targeted at its source, and not just symptomatically.
Words From the Founder and Users Alike
Daniel Hoftun, the founder of Norse Organics, created the skincare range with the hopes of developing an effective acne treatment, without any chemicals or fillers. His commitment to ensuring 100% natural products has come with challenges. Sourcing the ingredients with a short harvesting season, that meet the quality standard, has seen the company sell out 11 times in the last six months.
Despite these hurdles, Norse Organics has ramped up its production and now serves over 100,000 customers across 4 continents, many of whom have shared their heartfelt acne journey’s on the companies website.
One satisfied customer reports back, ‘Bought this for my teenager that was struggling with acne. We’d tried lots of routines, patches etc. Norse started working within a week, and now their skin looks great. Incredible.’
Moving Forward with the Brand
Norse Organics’ commitment to avoiding synthetic chemicals like paraffin and parabens, distinguishes it in a crowded market. The brand’s success may indicate an emerging trend in favour of natural solutions for health and wellness concerns, promoting a return to nature in skincare.
After a successful launch in Australia, Norse Organics is set to expand to New Zealand and Singapore next. With products frequently selling out after going viral on TikTok, it’s advisable to place your order quickly to ensure you secure these sought-after items.
