Beauty shopping has never exactly suffered from a lack of choice.
There are serums for every imaginable concern, shampoos promising increasingly specific things, moisturisers in every texture, and enough ingredient terminology to make choosing a cleanser feel like a research project.
At Vault, we like discovery. We just don't think discovery should require opening 17 tabs.
That is why we created the Vault Routine Finder: a simple way to filter our curated beauty range around what matters to you.
Rather than asking you to identify a complicated skin type or diagnose exactly what is happening on your scalp, the Routine Finder starts somewhere much more useful: what would you like your products to help with?
How the Routine Finder Works
A Few Simple Steps to Find The Products Best for You
For skincare, that might mean prioritising hydration, barrier support, blemishes, redness, texture or brightening.
For hair, you might be more interested in scalp health, strength, hydration, volume or supporting fuller-looking hair.
And for body care, perhaps it is dryness, uneven texture, barrier support, body blemishes or ingrown hairs.
You don't need to choose just one. Beauty concerns have the habit of overlapping, so the Routine Finder is designed to take multiple priorities into account.
Priorities Tell Us What You Want More Of
We Call These Your Priorities
Priorities specify the results you would most like a product to support, whether that is more hydration, brighter-looking skin or a calmer-feeling scalp.
The more relevant a product is to the priorities you select, the stronger a match it becomes.
This allows the Routine Finder to do something a standard product filter cannot: distinguish between a product that technically belongs in a category and one that actually makes sense for what you are trying to achieve.
Considerations Help Rule Things Out
These are the non-negotiables
Maybe you are specifically looking for products that are vegan or cruelty free. Perhaps fragrance-free products are important to you. You may want products we have identified as sensitive-skin friendly, or you might be shopping with pregnancy in mind.
Instead of treating these as another vague preference, the Routine Finder uses considerations to help exclude products that do not meet the criteria you select.
A brightening benefit might make a product a better match. A consideration can determine whether it should be recommended to you at all. It is a small distinction, but an important one.
It Is a Starting Point, Not a Diagnosis
The Routine Finder is designed to make shopping easier
What the Routine Finder does is make the beauty part considerably less overwhelming.
If you already know that your skin feels dehydrated and you want to prioritise hydration, you should not need an advanced understanding of cosmetic chemistry to find a suitable serum.
If your scalp feels dry and you want to explore gentler, scalp-focused haircare, we can help point you towards the relevant part of the range.
Think of it as a particularly well-organised beauty-shopping tool rather than a dermatologist in your browser.
Why We Built It
Vault is Curated by Design
We don't want to carry hundreds of nearly identical products simply to create the illusion of choice. We would rather find interesting brands, choose the products we think deserve a place, and then help you work out which of those products are most relevant to you.
But even a curated beauty store can become difficult to navigate once you start crossing categories, ingredients and concerns.A product might be excellent and still be completely wrong for what you need.
The Routine Finder gives our curation another layer. First, we narrow down the wider beauty market. Then, you narrow the Vault recommendations for yourself.
Built to Consider Multiple Concerns
The Routine Finder Gets Especially Useful When Your Concerns Overlap
You might want brighter-looking skin but also experience sensitivity.Your hair might need hydration while your scalp becomes oily quickly.You may want to smooth body texture without using products that leave your skin feeling stripped.
This is where the Routine Finder becomes more useful than simply clicking a collection called “Hydration”.
By combining several priorities and considerations, your recommendations can become progressively more specific. For example, someone looking for hydration + barrier support + sensitive-skin friendly skincare should see a different edit from someone prioritising blemishes + pore appearance + texture.
