Ever wondered why we're called CÎME? It's because it's French for "peak." This name captures not just our commitment to skincare excellence at the highest level, but also our essence: we use the power of organically grown plant extracts from the majestic peaks of the Himalayas, paired with cutting-edge research in high-tech labs and our Belgian expertise.

The result? Exceptional skincare products that not only elevate your natural beauty but also prioritise your skin's health and well-being. We're here to challenge outdated beauty ideals with honest, effective skincare that celebrates real people.

At CÎME, we believe skincare should do more than only care for your skin, it should care for the world too. Every product carries our values: respect for nature, empowerment for women, and love for every kind of beauty.

About the founders

From mountain roots to modern rituals

It all began in the Himalayas. High among ancient mountains, Anke and her father trekked through Nepal. There, surrounded by rare alpine plants with remarkable properties, an idea took root. Returning to Belgium, Anke shared her vision with Isabel, a friend whose sensitive skin had made her an expert in natural skincare. Both working as lawyers at the time, they recognised in each other a shared passion for purity and efficacy that transcended their legal careers. With Anke's father bringing over 30 years of experience in botanical extracts, they created CÎME – where traditional wisdom from mountain landscapes meets modern science. A skincare line as authentic as the wilderness that inspired it, powered by nature, perfected by science.

Manifesto

An ode to women, nature and time

High in the valleys of the Himalayas, a woman's face is a living testament to her journey. Laugh lines speak of joy shared in community. Forehead creases mark years of carrying precious water up the hills and growing food for her family. When she applies mountain herbs, she isn’t trying to erase age, she’s honouring her skin’s connection to the world around her.

At CÎME, we honour this wisdom. Beauty is not about fighting time, but about respecting the life we live. When a grandmother massages her granddaughter’s face with herb-infused oils, she teaches self-care as self-respect. We carry that message forward: our products aren’t made to correct, but to care with the same respect for skin as the Himalayan people have for nature.

Our story

True beauty begins by nurturing the bond between ourselves and the world around us. It is about conscious and loving care, choosing nourishment over correction, and treating our bodies, our planet and ourselves with the softness they deserve.
