The Silent Finn Turn Stereotype into Skincare for Men

The Silent Finn is a Finnish natural skincare brand developed for men with sensitive, irritated or redness-prone skin. As the name suggests, the products are developed to «silence» the skin – calm irritation and soothe skin that faces issues such as the harsh, temperamental Nordic climate.

“The Silent Finn” plays with the Finnish stereotype of the silent, sometimes awkward Finnish man, but also reflects the values and philosophy of the brand. Finns are known as ones to avoid small talk. Rather than chat this and that about all things irrelevant, Finns tend to skip the introductions and only speak when topics that truly matter arise. There is a certain strength of character in silence, and in many ways, silence creates a respectful atmosphere, and also is a way of showing respect towards others. As you know, to listen in silence is a way to get the others to truly be themselves, without fear of judgement.

Pushing judgement aside, The Silent Finn wants to normalize the use of skincare products among men. Creating practical products with fine quality ingredients made in Finland, this natural, vegan and cruelty-free skincare range consists of a facial wash, face cream, a shaving cream and an aftershave gel.

The Silent Finn products are created around the protective and nourishing ingredients, such as birch sap (known as the Nordic coconut water), beetroot, grapeseed oil and B5 vitamin. The skincare range is suitable for sensitive and dry skin, as it calms redness and nourishes the skin. The products are infused with mild scents from essential oils, and the fragrance is described as a refreshing blend of lime, bergamot, absinthe and orange flower, finished off with warm, sweet vanilla and liquorice.

The facial wash is a soothing gel wash that efficiently cleanses without stripping the skin of its natural oils, and won’t leave your face feeling dry or tight. The face cream is a fast-absorbing, calming moisturizer that nourishes, protects and provides plenty of hydration, leaving the skin feeling calm and smooth.

The shaving cream is a fresh and moisturizing blend that calms redness, and ensures a smooth and precise shave. Goodbye, razor burns! Last but not least, the aftershave gel has an antiseptic formula, created to soothe irritation caused by shaving, and prevents the skin from getting further inflamed. The serum-like consistency can also work as a light moisturizer, especially in the warmer months.

Opening a discussion with a Finn might be a struggle, but as you do all the hard work to get through the silence, you’ll get to enjoy the pleasant part. When you make friends with a Finn, you can count on a long, loyal friendship. We believe the same applies to Finnish skincare.

All of The Silent Finn products may be purchased via their webstore (there’s a 15% off + free EU shipping offer going on right now, so hurry!) And if you’re not a fan of total silence while performing your skincare routines, remember to put on the specially made playlist as you relax and wash the day off.
