Designing a Plant-Based Skincare Store from Brand to Checkout
Brigitte is a plant-based skincare line built on organic ingredients, environmentally friendly products, and cruelty-free practice. The line covers a full skin-type spectrum, from sensitive to dry, oily to combination. I designed the complete e-commerce experience: the brand identity, the UI system, the responsive store, and a tested prototype for both desktop and mobile.

What is the core problem?
What is the core problem?
People who care about clean skincare struggle to find products they can trust. In my research, one third of people could not find products on the market suited to their skin type. Most sites make shoppers dig for the ingredient and skin-type information they actually decide on. The purchase stalls on missing information, not on price.

Research and Survey
Research and Survey
I surveyed 18 people about how they buy skincare. The findings shaped every later decision:
One in three could not find products suited to their skin type.
More than half check for allergies and ingredients before buying.
Shoppers split between stores and online, so the experience had to work on any screen.
Cleanser, day cream, and facial masks were the most-used products, so those needed to surface first.

Competitive Analysis
Competitive Analysis
I studied La Mer, Clinique, Guerlain, and Olay. The prestige sites looked polished but buried ingredient and skin-type detail behind dense menus. That gap set Brigitte's direction: put the information people decide on up front, and let them filter by skin type, concern, and ingredient.

Busy professional female: Sara Smith, flight attendant
Sara is a busy flight attendant with sensitive skin and an environmental conscience. She wants cruelty-free, organic products with recyclable packaging at a fair price. Her core frustration is that brands do not disclose their full ingredients, so she cannot tell what is safe for her skin. Sara set the priorities for the whole store: ingredient transparency, clear skin-type guidance, and trust.

I built the brand and interface system from the ground up. The typeface is Avenir. The palette pairs a soft off-white (#FFF8F2) and charcoal (#4F4F4E) with a deep purple gradient, plus blue, lavender, and grey accents. I designed the logo, the icon set, the product cards, the buttons, and a four-step checkout progress bar, so the store stays consistent across every page and screen.

I designed a responsive store for desktop and mobile. The homepage leads with the brand promise and a clear path to shop. Products are organized by Face, Hair, Body, and Ingredients, so shoppers filter the way they actually think. Product pages place Reviews, Ingredients, and Skin Routine in tabs, exactly where Sara looks first. The four-step checkout (Shipping, Billing, Payment, Confirmation) keeps progress visible the whole way through, ending in a clear order confirmation.

I ran A/B testing and usability testing, then iterated. The clearest improvement came from the category page. The first version listed filters as a long column of checkboxes, and testers missed them. I restructured the filters into grouped, scannable categories by Face, Hair, Body, and Ingredients. The product page tabs were refined the same way, based on what testers actually clicked.

The result is a complete, tested e-commerce experience: a consistent visual system, responsive desktop and mobile layouts, and a checkout flow built around what shoppers told me they needed, which is transparency, skin-type clarity, and trust.
