BAZAAR picks the 10 hottest young guns in the beauty business - the next generation of powerbrokers. For fans of New Zealand brand Trilogy, the appeal comes from what's not inside the bottle. The skincare range boasts short ingredient lists and favours pure-extraction botanicals and non-toxic preservatives. With support from the influential likes of Women's Wear Daily and fashion bible W, the widespread media attention continues to lead new markets, such as Scandinavia, to their door.

All of Trilogy's products center on the same main ingredient: certified organic rosehip oil, a healing agent that is said to act as a potent moisturizer, reduce scars and inflammation, and even mitigate sun damage. And the brand offers just a handful of products......."We know overscheduled women want fuss-free skincare that is lovely to use. That's why we don't dictate that clients must tone after they cleanse or tell them they have to buy a lot of different products. We're trying to keep it to a minimum." Wells and Gibbs aren't alone in their less-is-more approach. At a time when lifestyle magazines, interior designers and world-class chefs are singing the praises of paring down, highly involved multistep skincare routines are beginning to feel excessive. Enter the back-to-basics beauty movement: a growing number of new brands that require less of a time commitment and take up less space on the vanity table.These modern minimalists tend to favor graphically spare, apothecary-style packaging: signature plant ingredients rather than complicated synthetics; and a well-edited product list of multitasking, easy-to-use offerings.
