Meet Oliver Dolabany of Ancient Standard

Today we’d like to introduce you to Oliver Dolabany.

Hi Oliver, thanks for joining us today. We’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
I created Ancient Standard, a natural skincare company, because I felt as humans we have deviated so far from how we used to take care of our health, our skin specifically, and I wanted to create a product that combined all the ancient knowledge from around the globe into one product.

I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
Its been some what bumpy. We moved really fast from idea to a physical brand which went smooth but the second we were ready to sell we came across some roadblocks. For one we planned to launch and scale fast as possible on TikTok shop but by the time we had our brand completely ready, TikTok had changed their rules for the beauty section and we were surprised to find out we needed an APPROVED trademark which can take up to a year.

We’ve been impressed with Ancient Standard, but for folks who might not be as familiar, what can you share with them about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
We are a natural skincare brand dedicated to educating people on non toxic yet effective ways of taking care of their skin.

We are 100% dedicated to providing 100% natural ingredients to our products and clarity with why we choose our ingredients.

We set ourselves apart because we created the most low maintenance yet effective skincare products that ACTUALLY work, unlike other brands claim. We use history and science to back our claims.

We are most proud to offer the perfect solution to people who have suffered and spent time and money finding products that never end up working.

If you do purchase from us we’d love to know what you think of our product or brand. We are always looking on how to improve. Oh! and if you’re reading this use code 20OFF for 20% off your next purchase.

Is there something surprising that you feel even people who know you might not know about?
We started this brand out of frustration of never finding products that work and we always felt like we were lied to by the skincare industry. So we wanted to promote cosmetic and skincare knowledge as well as transparency in our products so the consumer themselves can be educated in their skincare purchases, whether they buy from us or somewhere else.

Pricing:

  • our Everything 100% natural balm cost $39.00
