story of MALIN+GOETZ
philosophy.
MALIN+GOETZ combines trusted natural ingredients with advanced technology to create uncomplicated luxury skincare and fragrance for the modern, design-conscious individual. Our cleansers are formulated with amino acids to hydrate and purify without drying while our advanced moisturizers utilize botanically-derived fatty acids to intensely hydrate without leaving residue. Our targeted treatments offer effective solutions for specific concerns, and can be incorporated into a regimen as needed. Formulated with sensitive skin in mind, MALIN+GOETZ products are suitable for all skin types and genders and are locally-made in the New York area to limit our carbon footprint. We never test on animals and are always striving towards more sustainable formulation and packaging practices.

Matthew Malin and Andrew Goetz opened the doors of our MALIN+GOETZ Chelsea flagship store in March 2004. Our stores, while modern in every way, are reminiscent of traditional neighborhood apothecaries: brimming with activity, wonderful treatments and great customer service. Today our portfolio of apothecaries has expanded from New York to Los Angeles, San Francisco, London and Hong Kong while our distribution to luxury retailers and hotel, airline and gym amenity partners continues to grow globally.
“our names are on the bottles. as such, so are our values. we strive to make the most efficacious and healthful products possible. it’s incredibly paramount to us that every product does what we say it’s going to do, and to formulate products that are safe and gentle.” – andrew goetz
Matthew Malin.
Matthew began his career in the executive training program at Saks Fifth Avenue. He later went on to work at three distinct family-owned companies: first as a cosmetic buyer at Barneys New York, then overseeing global sales for Kiehl’s, and finally developing Prada’s beauty division and managing Helmut Lang Parfums. These experiences, along with his history of suffering from skin conditions such as eczema, seborrhea and rosacea, helped Matthew identify an opportunity for a local, family-owned brand creating simple but luxurious products.
Andrew Goetz.
For ten years preceding the launch of MALIN+GOETZ, Andrew worked as US Marketing Director for the family-owned, Swiss-based design manufacturer Vitra. His keen eye for design is reflected in our stores’ modern interpretation of the traditional apothecary as well as our chemist’s label-inspired, minimalist packaging. During Andrew’s tenure at Vitra, he found and cultivated the careers of emerging architects and industrial designers, many of whom would be later tapped to collaborate on MALIN+GOETZ branding and store designs.
