Vermeer's Girl with a Pearl Earring, inset on a collage of pink and red botanical forms

The narrative of Biography begins with a past life. What started as one woman’s private interest became a larger endeavor: a new approach to skin and beauty through active oils, each one designed with a story, a purpose, and a refined touch. Created to each be the best in their class, our active oil blends are potent and charismatic enough to be the protagonist in your skincare routine, and work harmoniously together to actively improve your skin over time. Biography is for people who love their face, embrace their story, and welcome change as a positive force. 

The OG Biography

Linda Thompson was born a storyteller, but it took a lifetime to write her Biography. A few years ago the threads of her own background began to intertwine: her French-Romanian mother's lipstick-and-face-oil morning ritual, a career spent between luxury and editorial, an unfailing conviction that less but better is more. So began a new chapter, one filled with beauty—and oil. Several years after her first collection of face oil blends, she started Biography on the belief that life is a daring project. The formulas follow from that: a short list of actives, each one chosen because it makes the others work harder.
