The Violet Files / Lessons / the remedy to every skin concern

Written by JACKIE REBROVIC



At VIOLET GREY, beauty is about more than performance—it’s about experience. Few brands understand that duality like May Lindstrom Skin. After a much-anticipated return, her handcrafted line of skin treatments—each infused with sensory richness and rare botanicals—is once again on THE SHELVES. Designed for skin that demands both care and calm, these formulas deliver results and a ritual: soothing inflammation, restoring radiance, and reigniting a connection to oneself.

 

Before she founded one of the most sought-after brands for sensitive skin, May Lindstrom was a child with reactive skin and a fascination with nature. Growing up off the grid in northern Minnesota, she foraged clay, herbs, and roots to create the first balms that soothed what nothing else could. Later, working as a model, she brought her handmade “potions” to set—quickly becoming a backstage favorite. By 2012, she turned them into a full line of treatment-grade formulas, each one rooted in her original mission: to transform skin care into soul care.

This is skin care that meets every moment, from post-treatment recovery to daily replenishment. Each product is crafted in micro-batches in her California studio using the highest-integrity ingredients, chosen not only for their performance but also for their impact on how you feel. From the cult balm that heals reactive skin to the golden oil that envelops the skin in shimmer and silk, every product in the May Lindstrom lineup earns its place on your top shelf.
