Brand Tone

Clinical, Educational, and Aspirational

Brand Values

• •Efficacy and Science
• •Purity and Quality
• •Simplicity
• •Authenticity and Care

Best Practices

• •Develop a "Voice and Tone" Guide: Create an internal document that explicitly defines the brand voice (Clinical, Aspirational, Minimalist) and tone for different contexts (e.g., educational for blog posts, supportive for customer service). Include a glossary of "on-brand" (e.g., microbiome, bio-active, regenerative) and "off-brand" (e.g., magic, miracle cure, flawless) terms.
• •Prioritize Education Over Hard Selling: Frame all marketing copy around educating the consumer. Explain the why behind the products—the science of the ingredients and the function of the skin barrier. This reinforces the brand's value of expertise and builds consumer trust.
• •Use the Founder's Story to Convey Authenticity: Regularly weave the origin story and the "esthetician x scientist" collaboration into copy. This grounds the brand's scientific claims in a relatable, human narrative of care and integrity.
• •Amplify Customer Testimonials that Reflect Brand Values: Select and highlight reviews that use words like "balanced," "calm," "healthy," and "simple." Featuring stories of customers who found success with STĀS after trying many other brands reinforces the message of efficacy and trustworthiness.
• •Maintain Visual and Textual Minimalism: Ensure that the clean, uncluttered aesthetic of the packaging and website is mirrored in the copywriting. Use concise, impactful sentences. Avoid hyperbole and jargon that doesn't serve an educational purpose. Let the quality of the science and the results speak for themselves.

Social Perception

The public perceives STĀS Skincare as a high-end, trustworthy, and highly effective brand, particularly for those with persistent skin issues like acne and sensitivity. Customer reviews frequently mention it as a "holy grail" product that has calmed irritation and improved skin health after other products have failed. The association with an experienced esthetician and a scientist lends it significant credibility. While it has a smaller social media footprint compared to mainstream giants, its engaged community views it as a premium, results-driven brand that justifies its price point through quality and performance.
