MALIN+GOETZ is the fusion of our founders’ corresponding passions for beauty and design. partners in life, as well as business, their ethos permeates every aspect of the brand, from the meticulous efficacy of each formulation, to their iconic packaging, and to the individual architectural integrity of each of their stores. our first apothecary is located in their old apartment building in Chelsea, serving our community for more than 17 years.
What makes our products unique?
Contrary to industry standards, MALIN+GOETZ is guided by a "less is more" philosophy when it comes to skincare, which starts from the top of your scalp down to your toes. less packaging, less (unnecessary) ingredients, less fuss, less waste. our uncomplicated 2-step system (cleanse+hydrate) was designed to deliver more benefits with fewer steps.
Why do we love what we do?
Ever since our first shop in Chelsea opened its doors in 2004, the diversity, inclusivity, and energy of New York City has been a great influence on our brand. it is in this collective spirit that we approach the creation for all our formulas. our products are and have always been gender neutral, and are made for all skin types and tones.
Small changes in product size & weight lead to lower carbon emissions.
We created Compact by Design to identify products that, while they may not always look very different, have a more efficient design. With the removal of excess air and water, products require less packaging and become more efficient to ship. At scale, these small differences in product size and weight lead to significant carbon emission reductions.
Here are a few of the many ways products can qualify:
