The best local beauty products to add to your routine
The late Mr Lee Kuan Yew would often aver: develop Singapore's only natural resource—its people. Decades later, that ethos continues to influence the nation's creative and cultural identity, extending far beyond policy and infrastructure. In the realm of beauty , this manifests as a bold, homegrown renaissance—where Singaporean founders, formulators and creatives are carving out space in an industry long dominated by imported ideals and aesthetics. No longer confined to being consumers of global trends, a new generation of local tastemakers is redefining what beauty looks and feels like in this city. The result? A wave of brands rooted in scientific innovation, cultural nuance, and lived experience. From Re:erth 's trailblazing sunscreen formula to Shavonne Wong 's ultramodern collaboration with Shu Uemura , these aren't merely products adapted to tropical weather. They reflect a collective shift towards self-trust and creating with intention rather than imitation. Shaped by Singapore's unique pace and pressures, the next chapter in beauty is elevated through meticulously crafted formulations and an ingenious approach to product creation. It's not just about glow, it's about grounding, resilience, and the confidence to claim space in a saturated market without shouting. Local beauty products are no longer catching up—they're setting the agenda. These aren't just products but proof that brilliance emerges when creativity is nurtured. Bottled, tubed, and housed in jars, that brilliance is now distinctly ours. Below, Vogue Singapore's curated selection of local beauty products—planted in intention, rooted in craft, ready to sow change in every step of your routine.

Enhanced by therapeutic-grade essential oils—earthy patchouli, citrusy bergamot and soothing lavender—it offers a grounding scent that settles gently into the skin and senses alike. The result? Soft, nourished skin and a quiet sense of calm that lingers long after application. The Salve Co.'s Inner Calm Body Oil, $59.90, available online .

The newly upgraded Daylight Oasis Vitamin C Serum doesn't disappoint on this front.

Transcending defence, it also actively enhances skin health. Infused antioxidants, peptides and hydrating botanicals support regeneration, soothe inflammation and strengthen the skin's barrier. The smooth, weightless texture leaves behind no greasiness, white cast or pilling—only a brightened and deeply hydrated mien. Re:erth Radiance Defence, $65, available online .

While coating your lips in a balmy sheen, their texture is smoothed over time. A cooling metal tip allows for precise application, while its sheer tint builds to a soft-focus finish. Picture plush lips that look as soft as they feel. Romi Beauty's Lip Treat Oil, $24, available online .
