Symbiome

PACKAGING DESIGN

Symbiome is a high-end skincare brand focusing on the microbiome of the skin, using natural and scientifically proven ingredients.

I designed primary and secondary packaging, shipping materials, a retail display concept, and PR packaging.

These products are currently on the market.

EXISTING BRAND IDENTITY

 

Symbiome is skincare as nature intended — scientifically and intentionally formulated using proven, ancestral ingredients and designed to replace what our skin has lost in the modern world. We were tasked with designing the primary and secondary packaging, along with PR packaging.

 
 

PRIMARY PACKAGING

 

Ideation

Sourced existing packaging along with designing new shapes of bottle and tops to create a cohesive family of primary packaging that feels related.

 
 

Final Primary Packaging

Soft, heavy, rounded glass shapes house the iconic oils and creams. High end pump components create a luxury experience. Cleansers are housed in similarly rounded recycled plastic bottles and squeeze tubes. The travel sizes echo the same shapes as the full size products.

 
 
 
 

SECONDARY PACKAGING

Simple, sustainable, but elevated secondary packaging using paper boxes in tonal colors. 50% recycled material, 100% recyclable shipping materials.

 
 

UNBOXING EXPERIENCE

We designed a luxurious unboxing experience including a cotton pouch, custom tissue paper and sticker, and instructions to the fulfilment facility on how to wrap the box contents.
