From chocolate to cheese to watches, Switzerland is renowned for making some of the most luxurious products in the world—that holds true for beauty, too. Known for their dedication to science, Swiss beauty has pioneered many firsts in the industry, blending technology with natural ingredients. Everything from edelweiss to caviar is practically synonymous with the country’s skincare accomplishments. Best of all, you don’t have to catch a flight to Europe to shop these best Swiss beauty brands, since they’re available stateside.
Perhaps no brand is more synonymous with Swiss beauty than La Prairie. The clinic was founded by Dr. Paul Niehans in the early 1930s. “Inspired by nature’s beauty and stimulated by a rich culture, Dr. Paul Niehans embarked on a quest of timeless beauty,” says Greg Prodromides, Chief Marketing Office, La Prairie Switzerland. “With a clear vision to restore vigour and vitality, Dr. Niehans became the pioneer of cellular therapy. In his bold pursuit, he transcended a timeless dream: ‘Not only to add years to life, but to add life to years.’”
In the 1970s, the skincare line was created alongside the eponymous clinic and since then La Prairie has been creating skincare icons within four luxe collections: Skin Caviar, White Caviar, Pure Gold and Platinum Rare. “La Prairie’s mission perpetuates the legacy, spirit and pursuit of its founder,” Prodromides says. “Driven by a scientific quest to defy time, elevated by a deep-seeded aesthetic culture that transcends the ages, nourished by a singular enduring, feminine vision of enduring beauty, the dream of Paul Niehans to break time’s constrains. To breathe new life into time’s course is at the core of the house’s purpose: To empower women to hold time in their hands.”

La Prairie is dedicated to combining nature, science and art. “What makes us quintessentially Swiss is our heritage,” Prodromides says. “Swissness is the pure, majestic, rare nature that inspires our creation and our creativity. Swissness is found in the art, architectural and cultural movements that flourished in this land and which have been shaping our expression. Swissness is craftsmanship; the talent emerging from the resourcefulness and the determination of its people. Swissness is refinement, respect for nature, for culture, for those we meet. Beauty expressed with discretion and reserve. It is special to me because it is a singular vision, a unique fusion of all these elements coming together, creating a Swiss vision of beauty.”
