Our values

Nothing complicated. Nothing inflated.

Honest formulation

What's not in it: no parabens, no sulfates, no phthalates, no silicones, no mineral oil. If it's not doing something for your skin, it's not in here.

No parabens No sulfates No phthalates No silicones No mineral oil

Simple by design

Easy enough to stick with. Consistent enough to trust. Effective enough to matter. No twelve-step routine, no overpromising — just a routine that works, every day, the same way.

Part of the system

Built for the guy who already runs a few.

Algoma product alongside a notebook, watch, keys, and coffee

Sleep, tracked. Workouts, logged. Mornings, planned.

Your face was probably the one system you never got around to running. This fits in the same two minutes as everything else you've already dialed in — no extra steps, no new habit to build around.

A new brand, said plainly

Why Algoma exists

"I didn't build Algoma because skincare mattered to me. I built it because I was already tracking my sleep, my workouts, my week — and my face was the one system I'd never bothered to run. I wanted something that took away the stress of acne randomly appearing, something I knew would hold up regardless of workouts, deadlines, or whatever else the day threw at me. But more than anything, I wanted something accessible — I've seen so many of my guy friends and peers buy a random skincare stack, use it for a week, and quietly give up because it had ten steps and no clear payoff. Two products, same two steps, every day. Not a lifestyle, not a project — just one more thing that runs on its own once it's set up right. That's the whole pitch, and it's the same pitch I'd give you in person."

— Jack, founder

Bought for himself

"I'm not really a skincare guy, I just wanted something easy. I use the cleanser in the shower and throw the serum on after. Takes no time and my skin honestly feels a lot better."

Ryan M.
Bought for himself

"The two-step thing is what sold me. I knew if there were like five different products I'd never do it. Cleanser, serum, done. Been using both pretty much every day."

Matt D.
Bought as a gift

"Got these for my boyfriend because his entire skincare routine was literally just water. He actually likes them though and, somehow, uses them without me reminding him."

Lauren K.
Bought as a gift

"Bought the cleanser and serum for my brother and he texted me a couple weeks later asking where I got them because he was almost out. Could not be happier!"
