Individual Collective
Hands up if you’ve ever gone shopping for a foundation or face powder and come back empty-handed. Many of us have a hard time finding those in-between shades when it comes to coverage. Now there’s a local solution that you’ll love!
Individual Collective is a made-in-Singapore brand dedicated to changing the way women use makeup. The first in Asia to launch a DIY FaceDiscovery Kit where users get to self-blend and take control of what goes into their face powder. Think customised colour, correctives and skin benefits- all blended into a one-step buildable powder coverage.
Individual Collective Founder, Marilyn Ng, started out as a makeup artist who advanced into training roles with reputable MNCs, and notably trained and groomed Singapore Airlines cabin crew under her belt. Possessing over two decades of experience in beauty, she aims to champion mindful beauty through clean cosmetics.
Advocating foundation basics by introducing a 100% Talc-free customised mineral powder, blended to suit every skin tone in between, Individual Collective is now transforming faces, one base shade at a time. Think of it as your first step to mindful clean beauty!
Rooki Beauty
Kale, lingonberries and chia seeds — superfoods are no longer just found in salads or smoothies, they’ve become a mainstay of skincare products too.

Rooki Beauty makes an impressive feat of including superfood ingredients with the right amount of power in order to make a visible difference to your skin.

Other than being a gentle cleanser, it is also mildly scented with Geranium essential oil for you to enjoy a relaxing mini spa experience each time you cleanse! Free of Paraben, Phthalate and Formaldehyde, you will be safe from any toxic chemicals.
While our skin goes into recovery and repair mode during sleep, it is also prone to losing moisture.

Promising to delay all signs of ageing and intensely reinvigorate sleep-deprived and dry skin, this night cream is tailored for Singapore’s climate and the most sensitive of skin.
