YOU DON'T NEED PERFECT SKIN. YOU NEED A MOMENT. 

Hi, I'm Matthew Celestial, founder of Matte Equation. Before all this, I was just like you: burnt out, busy, stuck in the cycle of trying to be everything for everyone. 

One day, I put on a mud mask. Not for instagram. Not for a glow-up. Just because I needed to stop. I was craving a break from the hustle. In that moment of stillness, I realized something:

Skincare can be more than routine. It can be recovery. 


YEAH, WE WANT YOU TO LOOK GOOD. BUT—

This isn’t about filters or flawless skin. It’s about looking in the mirror and seeing someone who feels whole. It’s about skincare that helps you show up—for your body, your mind, your everything. That one moment became the start of Matte Equation.




WE'RE HERE FOR THE ONES WHO ARE FIGURING IT OUT.

Matte Equation was built for:

  • The tired ones who keep showing up
  • The dreamers running on little sleep
  • The gym-goers, the students, the burned out overachievers
  • Anyone who needs a small moment of softness in a loud world

SO WE MADE SKINCARE THAT WORKS LIKE A RESET BUTTON.

Formulated to support stress, sleep and recovery—because that’s what real people need. Every product is a reminder that you’re allowed to slow down.

YOUR RITUAL, YOUR WAY.

We're not about chasing trends or enforcing 12-step routines. But we are about choosing the moment. Slowing down. Reconnecting. We want skincare to meet you where you—and help you get back to yourself. 

That's why we believe that skincare should go above and beyond the products for you. We're designing experience-based skincare to be a blend of human-led activities, immersive technology and functional formulas designed to help you feel better, not just look better. 

Because taking care of your skin should feel like a return, not a performance,

SO, WHAT'S YOUR SOLUTION TO THE EQUATION?

Let’s figure it out together.
