20 | LUXlife Magazine Best Natural Skincare Brand 2025 – Switzerland & LUXlife Sustainability Excellence Award 2025 Based in Zurich, Complice is a premium natural skincare brand dedicated to providing high-performance, sciencebacked products that offer real results. Meticulously blending cutting-edge dermatological research with a series of hand-picked clean ingredients, the brand enhances skin health and boosts confidence levels, making people comfortable in their own skin. With Complice picking up two awards in this programme, we had the pleasure of catching up with Nives De Souza, its co-founder and COO, for more. Since its founding in November 2021, Complice has been on a mission to forever redefine the global skincare industry, a feat it is striving to achieve by bridging the gap between scientific research and global standards of natural beauty. The company collaborates closely with many like-minded customers that value quality and transparency in their skincare products, from luxury spa chains and dermatologists to high-end retailers and even individual consumers with a deep appreciation of Swiss science and natural skincare. Having built enduring customer relationships on a foundation of trust, Complice is well aware of the importance of maintaining the highest standards across its product range, as well as taking a proactive approach to the needs of its customers. It is for this reason that the team strive to move the needle every single day, investing in ongoing research and development to ensure all of the products sold under the company banner are safe and effective. Complice’s quality portfolio encompasses two serums (an AM serum and a PM serum), a 24hour moisturiser, and a cleanser gel, with all of its expertly designed products combatting key skin concerns whilst promoting better overall skin health. Although this range is only small, what it lacks in size it more than makes up for in performance, leveraging almost 50 years of scientific research to surpass even the most demanding customers’ expectations. In a world where the clean beauty movement is becoming increasingly popular, personalised skincare solutions are more commonly sought out, and consumers choose brands that care as much about the state of the planet as they do customers, Complice’s steadfast commitment to integrating best practices into its brand ethos sets it apart. Its reliability stems from the results its products give, and its values align it with those who also seek lasting change and a greener future – positioning Complice as both a frontrunner and a beacon of excellence. Anchored to the belief that beauty is intrinsically connected with the general spheres of health and wellbeing, Complice distinguishes itself from brands that focus exclusively on fleeting trends or aesthetic value, instead taking a holistic approach that can be seen right across its line of products. Nives explained: “Every product is rigorously tested, responsibly sourced, and meticulously created with the intent to simplify and elevate daily self-care routines.” “Over the years, I observed many companies either overpromising without delivering real results or neglecting the ethical and environmental responsibilities that customers care deeply about. This is why, as Complice’s COO, I strive to challenge the status quo by prioritising integrity, innovation, and sustainability at every stage of the process.” With Complice having expertly navigated recent disruptions to supply chains and launched a number of exciting new initiatives to help it stand out in a landscape that has quickly become saturated and highly competitive, the company now has its sights set on global expansion. It will be a challenge to build a name for itself an industry where there are so many big players, but if anyone is capable of this, it is Complice. The first stop on the list is the UK, where the brand is already starting to make its presence felt. “We are excited to expand into the UK market,” Nives told us in closing, “where our focus will be on fostering genuine, lasting connections with our customers and growing alongside them, becoming a true accomplice in their skincare journeys.” Blending Swiss precision with conscious care, embodying the timeless ethos of quality over quantity, as well as setting the bar for other skincare brands when it comes to sustainable practices and natural ingredients, it is our pleasure to name Complice as a dual winner in our Health, Beauty, and Wellness Awards 2025.
