Society Thinking The market for beauty and skinca
re products is ever growing, and worth millions of kronor in Sweden alone at this point. And now another brand is trying to get in on the action, with a little more holistic approach. Founded by Carl Falkenberg, No Society has a couple of principles. One, being that the products are designed to be unisex, and two, that they’re designed to be sustainable. Manufactured in Stockholm, No Society’s items are vegan, and come in packaging that’s made from recycled materials and sugar cane fibres. Falkenberg says: “After many years in the beauty industry, it is exciting to finally launch No Society – a brand with heart, individuality and a commitment to sustainability. We have chosen to focus on a few key products aimed at a diverse consumer base and which we hope will exceed expectations. The idea that people should have a long line of products as part of their daily routine is unsustainable for many. Because we sell our products online, we can also offer more accessible price points”. No Society products are available from their online store, with clothing items also included as part of their scope. www.nosociety.com ROADMAP Austin Maloney What we’re listening to: Miynt It had been radio silence from Stockholm artist Miynt for a while, with only a solitary single in 2017 (Letter From The Moon) following up her name-making 2016 EP EP No.1. But she returned this month with a brand new one, Vacation With Bond In The South Of France, Pt. 2, a song that was the product of an attempt to write a soundtrack to her own Bond script. With the lush, luxurious glamour that flows through the song, it sounds like it too. Expect more from Miynt later this year.
