Matthew Malin and Andrew Goetz opened the doors of the brand’s Chelsea flagship store in March 2004. Its stores, while modern in every way, are reminiscent of traditional neighborhood apothecaries: brimming with activity, wonderful treatments and great customer service. Today its portfolio of apothecaries has expanded from New York to Los Angeles, San Francisco, London and Hong Kong while its distribution to luxury retailers and hotel, airline and gym amenity partners continues to grow globally.

MALIN+GOETZ combines trusted natural ingredients with advanced technology to create uncomplicated luxury skincare and fragrance for the modern, design-conscious individual. Its cleansers are formulated with amino acids to hydrate and purify without drying while its advanced moisturizers utilize botanically-derived fatty acids to intensely hydrate without leaving residue. Formulated with sensitive skin in mind, its products are suitable for all skin types and genders and are locally-made in the New York area to limit our carbon footprint. It never tests on animals and is always striving towards more sustainable formulation and packaging practices.

Matthew Malin began his career in the Executive Training Programme at Saks Fifth Avenue. He later worked as a cosmetics buyer at Barneys New York, then managed global sales for Kiehl's, and finally developed Prada's beauty department and managed Helmut Lang fragrances. His experiences and the fact that he himself suffers from skin conditions such as eczema, seborrhoea and rosacea inspired Matthew to found MALIN+GOETZ.

Before founding MALIN+GOETZ, Andrew Goetz worked for ten years as US marketing director for Vitra, a family-owned Swiss design manufacturer. His keen eye for design is reflected in the store design and minimalist packaging.
