Food for Skin

Voormalige stadstimmertuin 2D, Amsterdam, North Holland, Netherlands

Overview

Food for Skin, founded in 2020 by Angela Ursem and Cathy Molenaar and later joined by Manon Fennis, produces vegan skin-care products made from entirely natural ingredients, frequently sourced from food-rest streams. Its bestseller is a cream made from tomato peels left over at a pasta-sauce factory. The company serves about 15,000 customers. In early 2025 it raised €810,000 in growth capital to boost visibility, develop new projects using food-rest streams, and establish social-domain projects. The three founders remain majority shareholders, and impact-over-profit is codified in their statutes and enforced by investors. They aim to be a leading responsible skincare brand across Europe and limit sales to Europe to control emissions.
