Discover how quinta transforms beauty routines into meaningful acts of self-care and ecological stewardship.
In the heart of Berlin, quinta was born out of a simple yet profound desire: to reconnect skincare with nature. Frustrated by the harsh realities of mainstream beauty products, the founders sought to create something different—something kind to both skin and planet. At the core of this mission is Green Guardian, a barrier repair cream that embodies quinta's ethos of sustainability and mindfulness. Behind the brand are three passionate individuals: a sibling duo, with roots in Chile, and their partner Taylor. Together, they blend their unique expertise in skincare, sustainability, and business to craft products that transcend the ordinary.

quinta stands apart by rejecting conventional norms. In a world dominated by plastic and petrochemicals, they’ve chosen a different path. Their products are packaged in 100% Post-Consumer Recycled (PCR) aluminum tubes, a conscious effort to minimize environmental impact. The commitment to sustainability runs deep, reflected not only in the packaging but also in the choice of ingredients. quinta’s formulations feature organic, ethically harvested plant oils, eschewing palm oil and harmful chemicals in favor of nature’s purest offerings. For quinta, self-care is more than just a ritual—it’s an opportunity to care for the Earth.

The ingredients in quinta’s products are as thoughtful as the brand’s mission. Their signature blend includes AQUAXYL™, a hydrating powerhouse that optimizes the skin’s water reserves. Complementing this are rich oils like Shea Butter, Hemp Seed Oil, Borage Oil, Jojoba Oil, and Rosehip Oil, each selected for its nourishing and soothing properties. These ingredients not only offer deep hydration but also align with quinta’s values of sustainability and ethical sourcing.
​
quinta’s production process is as intentional as its products. Sourcing their plant oils from a trusted supplier in France and natural ingredients from a German partner, they prioritize quality and ethics at every step. Their small laboratory in Berlin serves as the creative hub where each product is carefully crafted in small batches. This hands-on approach ensures that every jar and tube carries the brand’s commitment to excellence.
​
Ultimately, quinta’s intention goes beyond skincare. Their vision is to transform beauty routines into acts of mindfulness and care—for oneself and the world. Through their thoughtfully designed products, they invite users to experience the tranquility of nature, right at home. With every application, quinta hopes to instill a sense of peace and kindness, reminding us that our well-being is intrinsically linked to the health of the planet.
