Product
What are the benefits of the Hydrolytic®️ Enzyme?
The Hydrolytic®️ Enzyme boosts your skin's microbiome diversity, helping to balance and strengthen the skin barrier while promoting cell renewal for a complete transformation.
What is the difference between the Hydrolytic®️ Enzyme and Hyaluronic Acid?
Hyaluronic acid increases moisture content in your skin, while the Hydrolytic® Enzyme helps with microbiome diversity, cell renewal and barrier protection.
How do I decide between the Hydrolytic®️ Serum and the Hydrolytic®️ Moisturiser?
Take our skincare quiz, to find out your personalised product recommendation and routine.
What skin types are fjör products suitable for?
Our products are clinically verified and formulated for all skin types, especially if you have sensitive skin or conditions like acne, eczema, or psoriasis. Our hydrating serum contains active ingredients to rebalance your skin’s microbiome and protect your skin barrier, whether you have existing skin concerns or not.
Are the products vegan/cruelty-free?
We’re committed to being cruelty-free and never test on animals at any stage. While our Hydrolytic®️ Moisturizer is 100% vegan, our Hydrolytic®️ Serum contains marine-derived Type 1 collagen, so not all of our products are fully vegan.
Can I sell fjör products on my own site?
When you purchase our products from our website or any official vendor, they are for your personal use only. By purchasing fjör products, you agree not to re-sell or re-distribute any products. If we have reason to believe that your order may not be for personal use, we reserve the right to reject or cancel your order. Again, don’t ruin the fun for others. If you love our products and want to stock our products officially, we’d love to chat. Get in touch with us at hello@fjor.life.
Do you use parabens. paraffins or petroleum in your products?
That’s a big no from us. We pride ourselves on being paraben, paraffin, and petroleum-free. We’re committed to formulating products with only the best clinically-proven active ingredients, and that means absolutely no synthetic alternatives.
Can I use fjör with my retinol products?
We don’t believe in using retinol in our products, nor do we recommend the use of any retinols/retinoids whilst using fjör products. Retinol affects your skin barrier, making it more susceptible to long-term damage – especially when it comes to sun damage, pigmentation, pollution and other factors that could cause irritation. At fjör, we believe in improving the skin’s natural barrier and the microbiome with our unique enzyme-based products. Hence, we do not recommend using our products with any retinol-based products.
Do the products contain fragrance?
All our products are fragrance free.
How do I get the best use of the hydrolytic serum?
Our hydrolytic serum is filled with hydrating, powerful active ingredients in a science-backed formulation that works for all skin types. If you’re in the market for quicker results, feel free to use more generous doses of the serum twice a day. We believe that “less is more” when it comes to skincare (and most things in life), so we recommend stripping back your complicated skincare routine and letting our serum do its thing. If weather conditions are colder and drier where you are – we recommend applying up to 3-4 drops of the serum twice a day or combining the hydrolytic serum with the hydrolytic moisturizer.
Can I use fjör if I have sensitive skin?
Yes, our products are designed for sensitive skin. We've minimized the number of ingredients to reduce potential reactions. Please check the ingredient list on our packaging or website, and do a patch test on your inner bicep if you're concerned about sensitivity before applying it to your face.
What is the shelf life?
All fjör products have a shelf life of 2 years (1 year after opening). All cosmetic products include a symbol which signifies the ‘period after opening,’ known as the PAO symbol. You’ll recognise this as an open jar with a number and M alongside, signifying the number of months a product is good for after it is first opened. The product could be less efficient or potentially harmful to use after that point.
Can I recycle the packaging?
Absolutely. The serum bottle is made from materials that are easy to recycle. For example, the hydrolytic serum bottle is made of glass, so once you’ve used up your serum, simply remove the glass pipette from the dropper, dispose of the dropper in plastic recycling, and place the glass bottle and pipette into clear glass recycling.
Is it safe to use your products while I'm pregnant / nursing?
Based on the toxicology evaluation of the serum and stated intended use for adults, there are no precautions required for pregnant/nursing women who are using the product. However, we always recommend checking with your doctor before using any new products while pregnant or nursing.
