Bringing together intensive research, effective ingredients and a tireless optimum formulation process, the brand is dedicated to catering for the challenges of a specific yet prolific skin type. And stands ready to unite a community of consumers who’ve long awaited products that provide what they need.
Core Values Of Efficacy, Transparency, And Ethical Processes
The brand’s simple value-driven philosophy is rooted in product. Providing intentional, hyper-fermented skincare, it contains scientifically proven ingredients that combine for a clean formulation. The result is unique, vegan and cruelty-free, free from fragrance, alcohol, sulphates and masking agents. Made in England, BLUR is an industry disruptor, creating Cloudskin (the game-changing ‘blurring’ effect of reducing oil production for that super soft finish that we all seek.) The product packaging leads with sustainability also, made from post-recycled and recyclable materials; its stylish monochrome finish is made using FSC-certified paper, ensuring responsible forestry. Additionally, BLUR LONDON has joined forces with The Woodland Trust Carbon Capture Programme and its partner initiative, One Tree Planted – for every full-sized product sold, a tree is planted.

And as it’s pH balanced, the formula achieves refined skin without drying it out; instead, your face is left feeling smooth, clean and refreshed.
