Advanced Botanical Skincare: Thirns

Olga Brennand’s passion for skincare is rooted in her childhood in Kazakhstan. Growing up in such an extreme climate, Olga became only too aware of how environmental aggressors can impact the complexion and how natural remedies can help protect it.

After studying scientific skincare at the Institute of Cosmetology in Moscow, she went on to work with some of the world’s leading skincare pioneers including Swiss Line, Mila D’Opiz, Guinot, Cosmedix and Carole Franck, before becoming Senior Spa Therapist with Estee Lauder.

Following a move to the UK in 2010, Olga continued her professional skincare journey at Harrods, Harvey Nichols, Selfridges and a number of Harley Street skincare clinics, including the Avanti Aesthetics Academy, where she still practices.


Olga runs a successful independent skincare clinic and offers bespoke treatments and programmes, using her own method of skincare therapy, known as sculpting face massage.

Based on her expertise in advanced skincare and a deepfound belief in the power of organic, plant-based ingredients, she has developed her own skincare brand, Thirns.

Wild and cultivated thorns – in particular Rose, Sea Buckthorn, Rosehip, Raspberry and Juniper – are at the heart of Thirns skincare.

The formulations contain only sustainably grown and sourced natural ingredients and eco-friendly preservatives that are gentle to your skin.


Olga uses modern science to create each product, ensuring that the active botanical ingredients – which are rich in antioxidants, vitamins and essential fatty acids – work instantly to regenerate, repair and protect the skin. The results are compounding, meaning your skin’s condition improves with every application.

She is continuously exploring ways to reduce the ecological impact and carbon footprint of her skincare products. The bottles, jars and lids are crafted from glass and Thirns packaging is FSC-certified, all of which are 100% recyclable, meaning each product is as kind to the planet as it is to your skin.

With quality and sustainability at their core, all Thirns products are hand-crafted in Olga’s laboratory and have been rigorously tested and clinically approved.
