Oligocosmetics: Skincare Built on Trace Elements

Zinc, copper, magnesium, manganese — the body needs these trace elements in minute quantities to run thousands of enzymatic reactions, and skin is no exception. HORMETA built its entire philosophy on this principle in Geneva: rather than chasing single trendy actives, each formula supplies the oligo-elements that skin cells use to repair, defend and renew themselves. It's a quieter, more physiological approach to skincare — and one that has kept the brand in Swiss pharmacies and spas for decades.

The range is organised by concern, and the naming makes it easy to navigate. HormeTIME is the anti-aging heart of the brand, from the Collagen Tri-Logic creams to the Ultimate Serum N8. HormeGOLD adds gold-infused regeneration for mature skin, while HormeLINE focuses on the eye contour. HormeWHITE targets pigmentation and uneven tone, HormeSOFT soothes sensitivity, HormeMAT balances oily and combination skin, and HormeCITY defends against urban pollution. HormePURE and HormeDERM handle cleansing, and HormeSUN covers protection.

Building Your HORMETA Routine

Start with your skin's dominant concern and pick that line — HORMETA is designed so each range works as a complete routine on its own, and lines can be layered when concerns overlap (HormeWHITE serum under a HormeTIME cream, for instance). Cleansing and sun protection come from HormePURE and HormeSUN regardless of which treatment line you choose.
