About Matte Equation
We believe skincare can support burnout recovery by calming the nervous system, reducing physical signs of stress and restoring balance to both skin and mind.
Matte Equation is a Canadian skincare company dedicated to creating functional, science-backed products that support the nervous system and promote recovery from stress, burnout and fatigue.
Our approach blends evidence-based research, high-performance ingredients and a deep understanding of how physical and emotional stress affect the skin. From texture to scent to formulation, every product is designed to help people feel better—not just look better.
