Cîme
With a tagline as alluring as 'Honestly beautiful,' it's no wonder Cîme has become one of the top beauty brands in Belgium. True to its tagline, the label is more about skincare than standard cosmetics. They're made with organic ingredients, many of which come from the Himalayas, adding a touch of exoticism to really amp up its 'natural' charm. Add to that the fact that none of their products have been tested on animals, further solidifying their stance on sustainability and against animal cruelty. For a lot of customers, especially in this day and age, those matter a lot!

Jyb
Continuing on with the Belgian beauty industry's skincare bandwagon, Jyb is all about organic skincare with commercial appeal. After all, skincare can oftentimes seem intimidating to many customers. While makeup has that allure of glamour to draw people in, skincare oftentimes makes people more aware of their flaws. It's probably why Jyb has opted to name their products with charming names for a more approachable touch. With such bestsellers like '
Eye Look Good' eye cream to '
Oil Love You' face oil, shopping at Jyb will feel more like spending
springtime in Brussels instead of an intimidating errand!
