About FEMMENORDIC
We are on a mission to help you discover the secrets to achieving the ultimate, healthy, glowing radiance that French & Nordic women are envied the world over for. (“FEMME” à la Français + “NORDIC” = FEMMENORDIC).
In more plain terms, we aim to demystify the skincare & haircare purchasing process by deciphering complex INCI lists and cutting through the marketing jargon so you don't have to.
With a combined experience of over 10+ years in skincare, our team ensures that our curation is accurate, fact-checked, and most importantly: we will only ever recommend products that we back.

Calum Torrington, BSc
Calum Torrington, a well-travelled Englishman with a penchant for skincare, launched FEMMENORDIC intending to ease the hassle of finding the most effective skincare products online. Using his degree in Mathematics and Computer Science from the University of York (in England) and his vast experience designing user-friendly web experiences, the minimal, privacy-conscious, easily-navigable website was born.
Calum has built a reputation as a skincare connoisseur (read: addict) with an objective, scientific approach to beauty product analysis. He’s an expert when it comes to products for temperamental skin, after having personally dealt with acne-prone, hypersensitive skin for as long as he can remember (and won that battle, he might add). He personally tests every single product he can get his hands on.
