Pixi was created in 1999 and launched in our Flagship Boutique in Soho, London. Pixi has a loyal worldwide following thanks to its pure, awakening & skin-loving products that create a naturally radiant ''just had a good night's sleep'' look.

Passionate about skincare, Petra creates innovative formulations that are infused with botanicals and beneficial ingredients.
