PAI. MADE BY US.
INDEPENDENTLY CERTIFIED.
GOODNESS BUILT IN.
Our mission is to do the right thing for you and your skin. By creating products that are so natural, ethical and sustainable they have goodness built in.
Every Pai product is formulated and manufactured in our London HQ. Our organic ingredients are the jewel in our crown and we don’t trust anyone else to touch them.
We can say for certain that there’s good in everything we make, because the formulation is 100% ours.
We are independently certified by COSMOS (Soil Association), Cruelty Free International and The Vegan Society.
Getting these accreditations is no walk in the park - all levels of our business are scrutinised and we are audited annually to check our standards haven’t slipped.
While this means a lot of hard graft and sometimes making difficult calls, we believe you get out what you put in.

Our Founder’s Story
“Out of the blue, I developed urticaria and my usually calm skin became irritated, hyper-sensitive and acne-prone. Trying to keep it under control was a daily battle and finding products that didn’t contain problem ingredients brought a whole new challenge.
I‘d reached a dead-end with a cabinet full of products claiming to be “hypoallergenic” and “organic”, let down by their ingredient lists full of synthetics and irritants.
I just wanted effective skincare I could trust and depend on and creating Pai was my way of taking back control.
Pai is everything I wanted as a customer; skincare made with effective, organic ingredients, no nonsense marketing and a brand that understands products are just one piece of the puzzle.“
Sarah Brown, Pai Skincare Founder
