As we mark 5 years of service, we are inviting readers into our workshop.

Over the coming weeks, we’re sharing the principles that shape us and the details that guide everything we make.

Mass Index is our in-house skin-cyclopedia of common body skin concerns. Think of it as a one-stop non-shop—a free resource center with helpfully condensed insights into their causes, which ingredients help (or exacerbate) them, and how to prevent and manage them over time.

Key features include:

In 2021, Soft Services launched as a service provider for bodies seeking results for non-threatening yet underreported—often taboo—skin concerns. We offered customers something they’d long been chasing through Reddit threads, questionable Amazon listings, and word-of-mouth recommendations from friends of friends:

Effective solutions for KP, body acne, and ingrown hairs that felt fundamentally different in approach, efficacy, and design from what was already on the market.

And we recognized early on that solutions can take many forms.

As firsthand recipients of what the body skincare market was offering at the time, we knew that products alone weren’t the full picture. Accessible, expert-vetted information was a vital missing piece in creating a true 360° approach to recurring skin concerns. After all, how can a concern really be under control without understanding the intricacies of why it happens in the first place?

At Soft Services, our service to you is providing the tools needed for a “full solution”: products to improve skin on a chemical level, and information to improve the conditions that trigger skin issues.

Mass Index was made to answer all the questions you always wanted to know but never knew who or where to ask. It’s no substitute for medical care or personal advice from a physician, but if you’re looking for a well-informed approach to skin concerns many struggle with for years, start here.
