By Anke & Isabel, Co-Founders of CÎME

At CÎME, we proudly embrace our role as pioneers in the Belgian beauty sector, combining cutting-edge scientific research with the power of organically grown Himalayan plant extracts. Since 2012, our mission has been clear: to develop clean, effective, and ethical skincare that truly nurtures skin health and elevates natural beauty.

The journey that changed our lives

We are Anke and Isabel — best friends, former lawyers, and passionate founders of CÎME. Years ago, during a transformative trek through the Himalayas, Anke discovered a hidden world of botanical treasures. High-altitude plants thriving under extreme conditions contain powerful active ingredients, proven by science to deliver exceptional skin benefits.

Inspired by this natural marvel, we partnered with state-of-the-art laboratories in Belgium, applying cutting-edge research to enhance and unlock the full potential of these organic superfoods. This fusion of nature and high-tech innovation is the cornerstone of CÎME’s skincare excellence.

Leaving behind our legal careers, we committed ourselves to creating products that are more than creams — they tell a story of ecological integrity, scientific rigor, and deep respect for nature and community.

Our philosophy 

CÎME stands at the intersection of science, sustainability, and social impact. Our five core values guide everything we do:  

- Pioneers in plant based high tech skincare: we are proud to be among the first to harness Himalayan botanicals, enhanced through advanced laboratory research, combined with Belgian expertise

- Safe and healthy: our formulas are pure, free from harmful chemicals, suitable even for sensitive skin and pregnancy, always safe for both you and the planet. All our products are certified organic

- Uncompromising ethics: from organically grown ingredients and fair trade partnerships with Himalayan farmers — especially empowering local women — to eco-friendly packaging made from Ocean Waste Plastic, we embody ethical leadership at every stage.

- A love brand: More than products, we create beautiful experiences and foster a warm, inclusive community. We spread love, empowerment, and positivity, inspiring self-love and genuine connections.

- Accessible and approachable: our family-like culture invites you to be part of a community where true beauty begins with real conversations and authentic connections.

You are honestly beautiful 

At CÎME, we reject unrealistic beauty ideals. Aging is natural, and everyone deserves skincare that supports their unique journey. Our tagline “Honestly Beautiful” reflects this ethos: honest science, honest ingredients, and honest empowerment.

We celebrate diversity and authenticity by featuring real people in our campaigns, encouraging everyone to embrace their skin’s natural beauty with confidence and care.
