Knight Co. Skincare Uses Nature’s Best to Fix Damaged Skin

Image used with permission by copyright holder

Bryant Knight, founder of Knight Co., wanted to find a skincare regimen to appeal to the modern and simple, yet refined and sophisticated gentlemen of the world. When he couldn’t find one, he created it.

The high quality, Los Angeles-based skincare line for men combines natural plant extracts and botanicals such as aloe vera, sunflower seed oil, and witch hazel (to name a few) for a lineup of products that are both safe and effective. The line offers only three products at the moment, but if used in tandem, the trio makes for an essential face kit that is hard to beat.

After a long camping weekend in the sun, surrounded by dirt, grass, dust, and god knows what else, I grabbed my sample of Knight Co.’s Essential Face Kit and went to work. The trio brought my skin back to life right away and the line quickly became a new grooming favorite of ours.

The American made products are crafted with no toxins, parabens, sulfates, artificial coloring, or synthetic fragrances, so they’re great for both experienced skincare users as well as those with sensitive skin. When you’re trying to take care of the skin on your face, it’s important to know what ingredients are in the product you’re using. Knight Co. skincare aims to reach those individuals who are conscious of where and how their grooming goods are created.

“Quality was very important to us in the development of Knight CO. because all of our ingredients had to meet our highest standards. The majority of skin care products out there are made up of chemicals that most people don’t understand. Your skin is your body’s largest organ, so we wanted to use safe non-toxic ingredients derived from nature,” said Knight in a press release. 

Quality comes in all shapes and sizes, but Knight Co. skincare went the minimalist route to prove science-based, simple products are more effective and have longevity. After two years of testing different formulas, oils, and scents, Knight decided to explore the science-backed skincare world by working with chemists and manufacturers in search of a formula that suited his vision of simplistic yet effective grooming.

“We want to appeal to someone who is active, well-groomed, stylish on the go individual that appreciates quality and believes less is more,” Knight stated. 

And thus KNIGHT Co. and its three-product line were born.

Daily Face Wash – $28

Start and finish each day with KNIGHT Co.’s rejuvenating daily face wash to ensure you are always looking your best. Not only is the face wash gentle , it boasts a calming lavender fragrance that is pleasant on the nose, and an organic seaweed extract to reduce inflammation and leave your skin feeling soft, smooth, and refreshed.

It’s so good in fact, you’ll never forget to wash your face again.

Next we have Knight Co.’s complete moisturizer, a super-effective dry application formula that hydrates and nourishes your skin the instant it’s applied.

The moisturizing formula is unscented, yet still gives off a clean essence. It offers a shine-free finish and contains a proprietary blend of jojoba oil, olives, and carrot seed, among other botanicals that slow the effects of aging. Then, using some of nature’s other powerful cleansing oils like organic aloe leaf juice and sunflower seed oil, this do-it-all moisturizer also provides UV protection and specifically targets dehydrated, stressed portions of the skin.

And because you only need to use a nickel-sized amount, a little of this moisturizing lotion goes a long way.

Exfoliating Face Scrub – $30

If you don’t already have an exfoliating formula, the Knight Co. skincare exfoliating face scrub is absolutely fantastic. You only need to use it 2-3 times a week, meaning it’s a quick and easy way to enhance your grooming routine and get back on the road towards regaining healthy skin and putting your best face forward.

Not only is exfoliating a great way to ensure you get a close, snag-free shave, the added ginseng, aloe vera, and lemon promotes collagen production, leaving a brighter, younger-looking complexion that you’ll be happy with seeing every day.

Using amber and walnut shell particles rather than plastic microbeads, the exfoliating scrub eliminates all the dirt, grime, and gunk hiding in your pores without irritating the skin. The formula also boasts a dash of honey, which helps your skin lock in moisture and stay hydrated, while also giving off a fresh, herbal scent.

It’s safe to say Knight Co. skincare has an attention to high-quality ingredients has paid dividends when it comes to effectiveness. And let’s face it, the first step to feeling good about ourselves and looking our best is with healthy skin. Bryant Knight and company have just made this easier for all of us.

Dean Bell hits the road and talks men’s grooming
Hacks for the road from a celeb discovering skincare
Adult, Male, Man

Dean Bell is a guy many people know from The Bachelor and The Bachelor in Paradise. He has since updated his image as an influencer searching for adventure. That search has led him to partner with Chevron this summer in celebration of the country's 250th birthday. In addition to helping many drivers keep their engines in top shape this summer with his support of the gas, he is teaching us something he is adopting this season: Men's grooming and skincare. As he gets a little older, he is figuring out, with the help of his wife (like most of us), the importance of taking care of his skin. But how is he doing that on the road this year? And how can we learn from his experience?

That's what grooming is at the end of the day when it comes to skincare. You are basically keeping to your skin as youthful as you possibly can. - Dean Bell

Grooming is on its biggest stage with World Cup 2026
Unilever launched its largest activation focusing on grooming at the biggest sports event happening right now
Ball, Football, Soccer

We don't talk enough about men's grooming. Skincare, haircare, nails, and teeth are all important for your personal appearance and overall health. Typically, we tend to put it on the back burner while we focus our time on things with a more measurable return on time investment. Sure, we used to get away with this because guys like John Wayne, Clint Eastwood, and Paul Newman were regarded as examples of the rugged male aesthetic that didn't need the attention to moisturizing and conditioning. Nowadays, though, men like George Clooney and Brad Pitt are seen as sex symbols deep into their sixties, and it is largely thanks to skincare. Recently, if you have been watching the World Cup, you may have noticed a focus on the grooming marketing. That is because Unilever has launched its largest activation ever with a sponsorship of the FIFA World Cup 2026.

The FIFA World Cup 2026™ will be the most socially connected and inclusive tournament in our history. Football today lives in real time, in culture and on social platforms – and this tournament is designed to be experienced, shaped and shared by fans wherever they are. - Romy Gai, Chief Business Officer, FIFA

Your dad’s favorite gift may be smelling good
Olfactory NYC let's you build your own fragrance
Bottle, Cosmetics, Perfume

As Father's Day sneaks up on you (hopefully it isn't sneaking up on you since we have been putting Father's Day gift guides and articles with ideas for a few weeks here), there is a tendency to go for the old faithfuls dads seem to have always gotten. Ties. Mugs. Tools. And, of course, the always classic Old Spice cologne. The same cologne his dad got. The same cologne his grandfather got when your dad couldn't figure out what to get him. It is time to do something different. Sure, a man wants to smell good, and buying him a cologne is a great gift. But you can do it the regular way, or you can go above and beyond by letting him make his own choices (I'm not talking about a gift card). Olfactory NYC is the kind of gift your dad is looking for this year.

A deeply personal experience
