About
Formulated for humid climates and daily use.
Kolofon began in 2021 in a small compounding room in South Jakarta, built around one observation: skincare made for cold climates sits too heavy in the tropics.
Our apothecary
We are a team of four formulators and operators in Jakarta. Before starting Kolofon, we spent years watching bathroom shelves fill up with ten-step routines imported from temperate climates that left skin congested in tropical heat.
So we built the shelf we wanted to use ourselves: six pH-balanced formulations compounded in runs of two hundred bottles, using clinical concentrations of humectants and barrier lipids without synthetic fragrance, essential oil allergens, or heavy occlusive waxes.
