About Anni mateo
Anni Mateo was created to offer high-performance cosmetic skincare developed with a focus on carefully selected bio-active ingredients, blended in a nourishing base of plant oils and butters.
Our formulations are designed without silicone oils, petroleum-derived ingredients, synthetic fragrances, harsh preservatives, or unnecessary fillers. Each ingredient is included for its recognised cosmetic role in supporting the appearance of healthy, well-conditioned skin.
We believe effective skincare comes from a thoughtful balance of science and nature. Our products combine modern cosmetic ingredients such as peptides, vitamins, minerals, and plant extracts, sourced from specialist suppliers around the world, and formulated to work together as part of a consistent skincare routine.
The original Anni Mateo “All-in-One” Cream was developed with the idea of simplifying skincare by bringing multiple cosmetic ingredients together in a single, multi-purpose product. The formulation is intended to help improve the look of skin smoothness, hydration, tone, and overall vitality, addressing common visible signs associated with skin ageing.
We understand that ingredient concentration matters in cosmetic formulation. Many products include long ingredient lists with minimal functional levels. At Anni Mateo, we focus on meaningful inclusion levels appropriate for cosmetic use. Full ingredient information is always provided so customers can make informed choices.
Since the launch of the original cream, the Anni Mateo range has expanded in response to customer feedback and different skincare preferences, while maintaining the same formulation principles.
We also believe effective skincare does not need excessive packaging or marketing. By working directly with manufacturers and keeping our presentation simple, we aim to offer high-quality cosmetic products at accessible prices, allowing the formulations themselves to take centre stage.
The All-in-One Concept
The Anni Mateo “All-in-One” creams were created to simplify skincare by bringing together multiple cosmetic ingredients commonly used in anti-ageing formulations into a single product.
Our formulations combine peptides, botanical extracts, vitamins, minerals, and plant oils, selected for their recognised cosmetic roles in supporting the appearance of smoother, more even-looking, and hydrated skin when used as part of a regular skincare routine.
The All-in-One Eye Cream is formulated with ingredients commonly used in eye-area cosmetics, including Witch Hazel, Caffeine, Vitamin K, and plant oils, to help improve the appearance of the delicate eye area, leaving skin looking refreshed and cared for.
Ingredient Philosophy
Anni Mateo products are developed using ingredients of natural origin wherever possible and are formulated without petroleum-derived ingredients, parabens, silicones, synthetic fragrances, or unnecessary fillers.
Each ingredient is included for a defined cosmetic purpose, and full ingredient information is provided so customers can make informed choices.
