A brand built on leaving things out

Simple launched in 1960 on a premise that was unusual at the time and is now an entire category: no perfume, no colour, and nothing likely to irritate. It has kept that position for six decades, which is rare in a category that reinvents itself constantly.

In Britain that makes it a default rather than a specialist choice. Fragrance-free sensitive skincare is mainstream on the British high street in a way it is not everywhere, and Simple is the brand that established it.

One thing to be straight about: Simple is not unknown in America, and some of the range has been sold there. What differs is the line-up. Ranges, formulations and pack sizes are set market by market, so a product you used in Britain is often simply not the product on the American shelf under the same brand.

Why regulation matters here

British and EU cosmetics rules diverge from American ones on permitted ingredients and on how they must be declared. The practical result is that a brand selling in both markets often runs two different formulations under one name.

That is not a safety claim in either direction. It means a product you liked in Britain may genuinely not be the same product abroad, which is the concrete reason for importing rather than substituting.

Gel rather than cream

This is a gel moisturiser, so it is lighter than a traditional cream and it absorbs faster. That suits skin that is dehydrated rather than dry, and it sits better under makeup.

British skincare leans towards this kind of lightweight hydration partly because of the climate: skin that spends the year cold, damp and under central heating tends to need water rather than heavy occlusive oils.

50ml is a British size

Worth noticing when comparing prices. British skincare is sold in metric volumes and generally in smaller pots than American equivalents, so a like-for-like comparison needs the volume checked first.

Smaller pots also ship well, which is part of why skincare is a reasonable thing to import at all.

Frequently asked questions

Is Simple sold in America?

Parts of the range have been. The line-ups differ by market, so British products are not always the same as the American ones under the same name.

Gel or cream?

This is a gel, so it is lighter and absorbs faster than a traditional cream.

Is it fragranced?

The brand is built on fragrance-free formulation. Check the pack for the current ingredient list.

Should I patch test it?

Sensible with any new skincare, and particularly if you are importing a formulation you have not used before. A small amount on the inner forearm for a day tells you most of what you need to know. Read the ingredient list against your own known sensitivities.
