Frequently Asked Questions

Kasvi Beauty is a small-batch Nordic botanical skincare brand made in New York City, formulated for skin navigating perimenopause and menopause. These are the questions we are asked most often — answered honestly.

About Kasvi Beauty

What does Kasvi mean? Kasvi means 'plant' in Finnish. The name is quiet and rooted. It belongs to the forest.

Where is Kasvi Beauty made? Kasvi Beauty is made in New York City, formulated with botanicals sourced from Nordic suppliers who share our relationship with the land.

What makes Kasvi Beauty different from other botanical skincare brands? Kasvi Beauty is formulated specifically for skin navigating perimenopause and menopause. We don't use the phrase 'anti-aging' — ever. We are explicitly, non-negotiably pro-aging. Every formulation is built botanical first, in small batches, with four core Nordic botanicals that have documented benefits for hormonally changing skin. We also don't use fear, urgency, or discount codes to sell. We price honestly and trust you to decide.

Our Products

What are your four core botanicals? Birch (Betula pendula), Yarrow (Achillea millefolium), Nettle (Urtica dioica), and Plantain (Plantago major). Each one is present in meaningful quantities in every formulation — not as a trace ingredient added for marketing purposes.

Are your products fragrance-free? No. All Kasvi Beauty formulations contain a fragrance component (Parfum). Our Birch Dew Daytime Serum, Twilight Birch Nighttime Serum, and Bilberry Dream Cream Moisturizer are scented with a blend that is over 99% natural — pure essential oils and a botanical absolute, with a trace of nature-identical molecules. The Nordic Renewal Elixir's aromatic character comes from its botanical complex and is functional, not decorative. If you have fragrance sensitivity, please review the full ingredient list on each product page before purchasing.

Are your products suitable for sensitive skin? Yes. Our formulations are designed with barrier-compromised, reactive, and sensitive skin in mind — which is common during perimenopause and menopause. If you have specific allergies or skin conditions, please review the full ingredient list on each product page before purchasing.

Do you use parabens, sulfates, or silicones? No. We don't use parabens, sulfates, or silicones. Every full ingredient list is on the product page — because you should know exactly what you're putting on your skin.

Are your products vegan? Yes. All Kasvi Beauty formulations are vegan.

Perimenopause & Menopause Skin

Why does skin change during perimenopause and menopause? Estrogen decline affects skin in several measurable ways — collagen and density loss, barrier function weakening, increased sensitivity and redness, changes in how skin produces and distributes oil, shifts in pigmentation, and slower recovery. These are biological facts, not failures. Your skin is navigating a specific terrain and it requires specific, intelligent tools.

I've never found skincare that works for my skin since perimenopause. Where do I start? Start with barrier support. Weakened barrier function is one of the most common and impactful changes during hormonal transition — it underlies sensitivity, redness, dryness, and reactivity. Our Birch formulations are built around barrier repair and are a strong starting point for most skin navigating this change.
