A Look Behind the Brand and Top Products

Organic skincare and makeup brands are in high demand—especially those that combine nourishing ingredients with high performance. While the market for clean beauty has vastly improved over the last decade, few brands reign supreme in the category. Enter Ogee Luxury Organics. The brand’s philosophy is simple—make organic yet multi-functional beauty products. Over the past year, this straightforward mission not only gained the brand a strong social media presence but a loyal fan base.

The basis of the brand was sparked by the founder’s love for healthy living. “I was keeping an organic kitchen at home and learned that some of what we put onto our skin is absorbed into the body,” explained Abbott Stark, the Co-Founder and Chief Product Officer at Ogee. “I wanted to harmonize the criteria I used for beauty products with those I used for food. I felt like it was a healthier decision, and I discovered that so many natural ingredients work better to improve the skin’s look. We created Ogee to be the end-all-be-all of effective and organic skincare and makeup.”

From the brand’s inception, Stark recognized the complications within the clean beauty conversation and used it to her advantage. “We have started to use the term Beyond Clean Beauty to describe Ogee simply because we’re all talking about clean, and that’s so important in beauty right now,” noted Stark. “However, everyone has their definition, and we have yet to find one that imparts the stringency of our organic standard. We love that people think about the ingredients and their origins, so we want to support the clean beauty movement. At the same time, we at Ogee strive to be at the next level regarding our ingredient scrutiny – that’s what we mean by [our motto] Beyond Clean Beauty.”

While Stark mentioned there is not just one clean standard that appropriately describes Ogee, the brand is NSF certified. “Our NSF certification ensures we adhere to the most stringent standards in clean beauty, and this doesn’t come easy. Each product (meaning each formulation, every individual shade) must be certified to this organic standard (formulas are required to have a minimum 70% organic ingredients), and it’s not always easy to obtain,” explains Stark. “Sometimes, it means pushing a launch back just to ensure the utmost level of organic compliance in every single product we release. If it’s not meeting the Ogee standard, it will not launch.”

Instead of picking a singular age group or demographic, Ogee’s target customer spans across multiple generations. “[Our brand targets everyone] from young adults seeking the latest in natural skincare to mature individuals looking for effective and eco-friendly beauty solutions,” she explains. “We cater to a wide audience.” However, one brand pillar that all Ogee consumers find important, is sustainability. “Our products are designed for those who prioritize sustainability, environmental stewardship, and high-performance, certified organic ingredients,” says Stark. “By addressing the needs and values of different demographics, we aim to provide skincare solutions that resonate with a broad spectrum of consumers, fostering a sense of community and shared values across generations.” The products are meant to be simple and glamorous to use while also improving the look of skin and helping to save the environment.

With new launches on the horizon for Ogee, Stark let us know what to expect. “As formulators, we can’t help but get excited about new products, including our Sculpted Skin Perfecting Powder and matching vegan brush,” she explains.
