The encyclopedia of beauty.
Glowpedia is an independent, source-checked encyclopedia of beauty brands — their history, ownership and origins. We cover thousands of brands with the same sourcing discipline for all, from medieval apothecaries to indie launches from last month.
Independent
We never charge to be listed. No sponsored articles, no ads, no affiliate links in the text. The only commercial element is a discreet link to the price comparison site Glowjakt — with no payment per click.
Ownership
Glowpedia is published by Sejder AB, the same company behind the price comparison site Glowjakt. We disclose this openly: independence is built on transparency, not on hiding relationships. Glowpedia has zero commercial agreements with the brands it covers.
The editorial team
Articles are compiled and checked by Glowpedia Editorial against source material. We write in an encyclopedic, neutral voice — we tell the brands' stories; we don't review them.
How we work
Every factual claim is traced to a source, and we distinguish what a brand says about itself from what independent sources confirm. Read about our sourcing method →
Glowpedia & Glowjakt
Glowpedia tells the story — who founded a brand, who owns it and where it comes from. Glowjakt shows where to buy it cheapest. Two sites, two purposes, the same care for facts.
