Alpyn Beauty

Alpyn Beauty is an American skincare brand grown, quite literally, out of the mountains around it. Founder Kendra Kolb Butler swapped high heels for hiking shoes in 2015, moved west to Jackson Hole, Wyoming, and built a brand around the alpine botanicals growing near her own front door. The proposition is what the brand calls wild-meets-clinical. Ingredients are wildcrafted and hand-cultivated, sustainably hand-harvested at peak potency close to the Jackson Hole headquarters, and paired with clinically proven actives so the formulations deliver measurable results rather than only a good story. The range covers moisturisers, serums, cleansers and treatments, with select ingredients certified organic. Every product is vegan, free of animal-derived ingredients and never tested on animals, and the brand carries the Leaping Bunny mark. The exclusion list is long and explicit, covering parabens, sulfates including SLS and SLES, silicones, phthalates, PEGs, phenoxyethanol, formaldehyde, mineral oil, synthetic fragrance and dyes, and the range is gluten-free throughout. Sustainability is embedded in how the ingredients are gathered rather than added afterwards. Alpyn is Plastic Neutral Certified with recyclable packaging, and practises what it calls Circular Harvesting, where nothing is wasted and anything not used is returned to the earth through low-impact composting. Thousands of acres have been rewilded and restored, and the brand supports the Grand Teton National Park Foundation. Priced in the luxury tier, Alpyn is exceptional for anyone seeking clean, vegan, natural, paraben-free and sulfate-free American skincare from a women-owned, locally harvested and genuinely sustainable brand.
