The cloths are vegan and free from additives, alcohol, and oils. Filabé challenges other cosmetics companies who use outdated technology (cream), that makes your skin dependant on products loaded with additives.

  • Filabé effectively solves skin problems, bringing balance to your skin

  • An all-in-one solution that cleans the skin, transferring active ingredients onto the skin

  • First complete skincare solution with 100% active ingredients and zero additives

Challenges
1

Achieving full market potential

  • Filabé was already available Switzerland, but the sales numbers were low in relation to the market potential.

2

Improve marketing efficiency to scale

Poor efficiency of the media spend (measured by Return on Advertising Spend – ROAS) was also not sustainable and was preventing Filabé from scaling internationally.

Goal

Our main target
