Tolpa Launches in the UK

Polish skincare brand Tolpa has arrived in the UK, introducing its minimalist approach to skincare. The brand launches with a curated collection of ten premium products designed to enhance skin health through simplicity and efficacy, sidestepping the need for excessive ingredients and complicated skincare routines.

Tolpa’s new dermocosmetics range features nature-inspired, scientifically validated formulations that address three skin concerns: acne, rosacea, and dehydration. Each product reinforces the brand’s commitment to balancing nature and science, with active ingredients that are potent yet gentle on the skin. Natural ingredients are blended at the optimum potency to deliver tangible results without irritation and are tested and trialled under dermatologist-supervised conditions. Product textures are formulated to deliver skin comfort, enhanced by appealing fragrances, cooling sensations, and tone-evening benefits.

At the core of Tolpa’s effectiveness is Peat, a naturally active substance first recognised for its unique properties by Professor Tolpa in the 1960s. Known for its antibacterial and astringent properties, Peat is rich in antioxidants and minerals that benefit the skin. It detoxifies the skin, stimulates the immune system, and accelerates cell regeneration, which collectively improve skin resilience and radiance. Tolpa sources peat sustainably, harvesting minimal quantities and ensuring its reintroduction to the natural environment to preserve this valuable resource. Additionally, Tolpa collaborates with environmental agencies to restore peatlands, vital ecosystems that contribute to safe water sources. Through these efforts, Tolpa maintains an eco-conscious approach, using only a fraction of the peat needed in the horticultural industry, further minimising its environmental footprint.

Tolpa’s skincare philosophy focuses on the concept of skinimalism, offering an alternative to the multi-step routines popularised by K-Beauty. This approach advocates for fewer, high-performance products to minimise irritation, simplify routines, and promote sustainability in skincare. “Tolpa recommends skinimalism because choosing fewer high-performance products that combine the best of nature and science is critical to deliver dramatic skin benefits,” explains Agnieszka Hrycaj, Head of Product at Tolpa. “The brand hits the perfect balance between nature and science by bringing the best from nature together with the latest in skincare science in each of its product formulations.”

Priced between £8.99 and £12.99, Tolpa’s UK collection includes three ranges tailored to specific skin concerns: the Sebio range for acne, featuring a CICA Cream, Face Wash Gel, and Serum; the Rosacal range for rosacea, offering a Micellar Liquid, Face & Eye Micellar Wash Gel, Day Cream SPF10, and Night Cream; and the Lipidrio range for dryness, with a Day Cream, Night Cream-Oil, and Eye Cream. All products are allergy tested, cruelty-free, and free from irritating substances.

Tolpa is now available in Boots stores nationwide and online at boots.com. Information regarding a US launch is yet to be announced.
