Northwind Skincare
Clinical skincare that feels like a calm morning, not a laboratory.
The brief
Northwind's formulas were developed by dermatologists, but their first packaging looked like it came from a pharmacy stockroom. They asked us for something premium, trustworthy and quiet enough to live on a bathroom shelf.
We chose stone-like neutrals, generous white space and a precise sans-serif. Ingredient percentages became part of the design, printed large, so the science is the decoration.

The packaging does half of our selling. Customers tell us they keep the cartons.
