since 2003 : Scandinavian Beauty with Scientific Soul

Tromborg was founded in 2003 by Danish makeup artist Marianne Tromborg, who sought products that delivered professional-quality results while respecting the skin with clean, natural ingredients. Her background in editorial and runway artistry gave her a keen eye for texture, finish, and real-world performance.

Behind the science is her husband, Tim Schyberg, a trained biochemist who leads Tromborg’s R&D and product development in their own laboratory and production facility in Denmark. This unique setup allows the brand to oversee every step from concept to manufacturing, ensuring precision, efficacy, and ingredient integrity. Tromborg remains a family-owned company (Tromborg ApS) headquartered in Denmark.

Ingredient Philosophy and Formulation Approach

Tromborg blends advanced bio-active science with wild Nordic botanicals.

- Peptides and bioactive molecules are central to their skincare line, especially serums and masks. These small molecules penetrate deeply to stimulate collagen production, support firmness, and reduce the appearance of visible wrinkles.

- They use “Wild Type” plants—naturally growing, uncultivated species found in Scandinavian environments. The brand considers these more potent than conventional farmed organics due to their untouched growth conditions, although they are not certifiable in the usual organic sense.

- Tromborg’s ethos is that “everything that can be organic is organic”. However, they have chosen not to pursue external certifications (such as COSMOS or Ecocert), instead emphasizing in-house quality control and long development cycles.

- They source ingredients locally where possible and maintain traceability from field to final jar to minimize environmental impact and ensure integrity.

This philosophy is encapsulated in their label, “Science Behind Beauty®,” which underlines that every formula must be both natural and scientifically effective.

Products

A hallmark of Tromborg is the fusion of skincare and makeup, which bridges the gap between beauty and treatment. Their product universe includes:

Skincare

Bioactive serums, daily creams, hydrating masks, and eye treatments formulated to strengthen, repair, and energize skin

Makeup

Mineral foundations, blushes, lip care, brow products, and tinted balms that also nourish the skin

Aromatherapy

They use only pure essential oils (not synthetic fragrances), claiming therapeutic benefits such as antibacterial protection, mood uplift, or relaxation.

This duality creates cosmetics that care, not just decorate, reflecting Marianne Tromborg’s artistic roots.

Values, Sustainability, and Transparency

- Manufacture in-house in Denmark, reducing transport emissions

- Prioritize local plant sourcing and biodiversity

- Use FSC-certified cardboard and recyclable components where possible

- Avoid overproduction, instead developing small, carefully planned batches

They are transparent in their ingredient sourcing and formulation, explaining the science behind their actives through their “Science Suite” content platform—something rare in the luxury beauty industry.

While they have not pursued formal green certifications, they maintain that their methods and traceability provide equivalent or better assurance of integrity.
