A NOTE FROM OUR FOUNDER

I’ve always believed skincare should feel like care - not effort. Not about chasing perfection, but about feeling at peace in your own skin. ISLAND was born from that longing. A softer space. Created with Sakshi, who’s walked this journey beside me, and Jinsoon, whose quiet brilliance shaped every formula, this has been a two-year labour of love. Every drop was made with intention. To bring comfort where there was discomfort. Calm where there was chaos. And a little glow, the kind that feels like you again. Three essentials. No clutter. No overwhelm. Just skincare that meets you where you are, and gently brings your skin back home. I’ve poured so much of myself into this. And I hope, in some quiet way, it reaches you.

With love,
Shirley

Fewer steps. Deeper results. Calm built into every layer.

The Power of Less, Perfected

Skincare shouldn’t feel complicated - it should feel clear. In a world overflowing with steps, trends, and overuse, Island offers thoughtful restraint. Each product is designed to do more with less - multi-functional, sensorial, and effective. We focus on what matters: proven ingredients, intentional textures, and routines that respect your time and your skin. This is skincare that doesn’t overwhelm, it restores. Reliable, refined, and made to fit into real life beautifully.

Time-honored ingredients, reimagined for today’s skin.

Heritage, Made Modern

Island began with a deep respect for where we come from, and a clear vision for what skincare could be. We bring together traditional Indian ingredients like rice water and turmeric, and pair them with modern science to meet the needs of Indian skin today. Every formula is a quiet blend of culture, climate, and care - gentle, effective, and elevated. This is tradition reimagined - not as the past repeated, but as wisdom evolved.

FOUNDERS' QUOTES

ISLAND gave me the chance to be vulnerable. To talk about skin struggles I never really shared, and to help shape something that feels real, not aspirational. I didn’t want to just ‘lend my face’, I wanted to build something I could stand behind. My favourite part has been connecting with people who see their own story in ours.”

Shirley Setia
Co-Founder

For me, ISLAND began as a quiet rebellion against overcomplicated routines, unrealistic beauty standards, and skincare that never felt made for us. It’s been deeply fulfilling to build something from scratch that respects the Indian consumer’s intelligence and skin both. My favourite part? Turning a personal struggle into a brand that feels like home for others too.”–

Sakshi Jain
Co-Founder

As a formulator, I’ve worked with many skincare brands, but ISLAND felt different from the very first conversation. It wasn’t about perfection. It was about relevance. Indian skin, Indian climate, Indian water. All of it made me rethink formulation from the ground up. My favourite part is solving for things that truly matter, and creating something that feels both modern and rooted.”
