Birkenstock skincare is coming to Nordstrom

Birkenstock is bringing its natural skincare line to the department store chain Nordstrom.

The German brand, which is famous for its cork-soled footwear, has announced the first US partnership for its natural skincare line, which rolled out in the country last October. As of January 9, the brand will be available online and in select Nordstrom stores in cities including Chicago, Los Angeles, Portland and Seattle. 

The ‘Birkenstock Natural Skin Care' line's star ingredient is Cork Oak Extract obtained from the outer layers of cork oak, which is thought to possess anti-aging properties, stimulating cell renewal and boosting the skin's protective barrier. The cruelty-free, vegan line comprises beauty solutions formulated without chemicals such as parabens, surfactants, silicones or paraffin, spanning products such as foot balm, moisturizer, hand cream, cleanser and more.

"Nordstrom has been a great partner for the Birkenstock footwear brand and with their strong Natural Skin Care focus is a great fit for our launch," said Louise Caldwell, President and General Manager of Birkenstock Natural Skin Care, in a statement.
