Revolutionary skincare brand Gallinée makes an astonishing debut on crowdfunding platform Kickstarter and is funded in just five days.
With 16 days to go, Gallinée is calling on all beauty fans to support the brand and be the first to experience its breakthrough products. The campaign will run until October 9th and the raised funds will support the initial production. Additional funds will go towards developing new products.
Supporters get rewards that include all products at a preferential price (up to 40% savings). There is also fun additional gifts like towels, pendants, colouring books and karaoke nights with the founders.
Our revolutionary line of skincare products – featuring our amazing patented prebiotic, probiotic and post-biotic complex – replenishes and nourishes the microbiome; the essential bacteria ecosystem that protects your skin. Gallinée’s first product line, “La Culture”, is an innovative approach to skin and body care. The products were developed based on the latest micro-organism research to help restore the skin’s true balance – restoring it to happiness with a beautifying, nourishing and protective mix of biotics, hydrators and brightening actives.
The line will be officially launched in March, 2016 and will include: Hand Cream, Body Milk, Foaming Facial Cleanser, Facial Hydrating Cream, and Face Mask & Scrub. Retail prices will be between £12 and £35.
Why the Microbiome?
You’re 90% bacteria.*
*not an insult
In the beautiful ecosystem that is the human body, your microflora maketh the man (and woman). Microflora are beneficial bacteria that play a huge part in building a healthy defense and nutrition system for your skin. You would think we intuitively nourish and support these friends, but we often undermine them with antibacterial products that strip microflora from our skin and get in the way of our body’s naturally smart processes.
Biotics are now widely known for their positive effects on digestive health, but their applications in skincare and healthcare are, for now, a bit of an scientific secret. That’s where we come in.
Why chose Kickstarter? :
Crowdfunding for beauty brands is still very new, but we are sure this is the future for niche brands like ours. While products will be on shelves in March 2016, backers of our project will receive their products in January before anyone else. “Crowdfunding is a unique and extremely valuable opportunity to involve our customers in the Gallinée brand; I can’t wait for people’s feedback,” says Marie Drago, Gallinée founder.
The Gallinée Kickstarter campaign will be running until October 9th.
Who are we? :
Gallinée is the brainchild of two French friends living in London, Marie & Anaïs.
Marie Drago is a Doctor in Pharmacy with over 15 years’ experience working for a host of successful and innovative skincare brands. Marie’s research on the microbiome and the enormous benefits of harnessing helpful bacteria gave her the vision for – and the know-how to create – Gallinée’s formulations.
Even more fascinating still, she’s discovering how our modern antibacterial lifestyles may be to blame for a gluten intolerance that’s seen her having to forgo her beloved baguettes…
Anaïs Lombard is a former beauty editor who is now channelling her talents into branding, marketing and PR. Her 15 years of experience have been spent working for ELLEgirl magazine, Shiseido, Dior and a host of beauty start-ups.
