For their joint Trend Edition, essence combines its trend expertise with Leon’s in-depth skincare knowledge. The result: five beauty essentials that deliver make-up performance alongside skincare benefits. The xskincare x essence Trend Edition is available now for a limited time at retailers across Germany, Austria and Switzerland.

Skincare Expertise Meets Make-up Performance

The collaboration taps into a growing trend shaping the beauty industry: the increasingly close connection between skincare and make-up. Skincare benefits are becoming an integral part of colour cosmetics – without compromising on performance or the joy of using the products.

At the heart of the collaboration is a shared understanding of what modern beauty products should deliver:

“What makes this Trend Edition so special is the combination of our respective expertise. essence stands for high-quality beauty products at truly affordable prices. Thanks to Leon’s in-depth ingredient knowledge, we were able to integrate even more skincare benefits into the product development process.” Bülent Özdemir, Global Brand Director essence at cosnova.

The Trend Edition combines high-performance make-up essentials with skin barrier-friendly formulas and high-quality ingredients such as ceramides, peptides, hyaluronic acid, betaine, shea butter and vitamin E. The product range spans from the hydrating Barrier HYDRA Fix + Prime & Set Spray and the loose BLUR refining finishing Powder to the SPF 50+ Super Peptide Glossy Lip Treatment. Reusable powder puffs featuring Lelo & Lolo, Leon’s beloved cats, add his very own signature touch to the collection.

Two Partners, One Shared Belief

Both partners share the belief that high-quality formulations shouldn't have to come with a high price tag and should be accessible to everyone:

“What brings us together is our shared commitment to quality and our approach to pricing. I want to show that excellent formulations don't necessarily have to cost a fortune. Our goal is to get the very best out of every product and offer the highest possible quality at an even better price. For me, collaborating with essence really is a match made in heaven!” Leon xskincare
