FLASKIN: Slow Dancing on Clouds
As the year moves faster than expected, Pantone’s Color of the Year, Cloud Dancer, and FLASKIN offer a quieter perspective—one that values lightness over intensity, and rest over reaction. This piece reflects on how color and skincare can create space for pause, clarity, and a gentler pace forward.

Practicing Less
The first month of the new year has already passed quickly. Time keeps moving at its usual speed, days filling themselves almost automatically. Lately, what stays with me is the idea of clearing—not what to add, but what to leave out.
Selected as Pantone’s Color of the Year, Cloud Dancer carries a particular sensibility.
A soft, airy white, it doesn’t try to stand out. Instead, it creates space—clean, light, and quiet. Rather than making a statement, it invites a pause.
The same sensibility can be found in FLASKIN’s approach to skincare. Its Protein line, built around ingredients like white soy milk, white rice, and fermented soy, approaches skincare with restraint. Instead of pushing for immediate, visible reactions, it leaves room for the skin to rest and recover. Unnecessary elements are stripped away, replaced by familiar, naturally derived components that feel calm and considered.
What Cloud Dancer and FLASKIN share is an emphasis on lightness over intensity, and quiet over emphasis. Rather than asking for attention, they create conditions where recovery can happen.
“Cloud Dancer speaks of less, and skincare becomes a place to practice that pause. ”
Standing at the start of February, it’s hard not to notice how quickly the year is already unfolding. Amid that speed, the calm suggested by Cloud Dancer and FLASKIN feels especially relevant. We may not be able to slow everything down, but we can choose where to soften the pace. Less urgency, fewer demands. Making space to focus inward, even briefly. Perhaps what this moment calls for isn’t more change—but the quiet decision to pause.
