About us

Meet PanPan!

Where does the name "PanPan" come from? From our names: Paweł and Ania. We’re a couple from Poland who met right here – on the island. The idea for a cosmetics shop came to us one day when Ania was complaining (again) that she had to bring cosmetics from Poland because she couldn’t find anything here that suited her. And then the question came up: What if we opened a cosmetics shop in Iceland so we wouldn’t have to lug around bags full of shampoos, conditioners, or creams anymore? Great idea! Of course, quite some time passed from the idea to the actual launch… But we finally made it – and we’re so happy that now everyone can have access to conscious skincare and simply… more options.

Now a little bit about us, so you know who's behind “PanPan.”

Ania – the passionate one. When something catches her interest, she’ll read every article, book, and watch every video on the topic. That’s exactly how it was with cosmetics. Due to skin issues and hair loss, she started paying more attention to product ingredients and what she was using. While still living in Poland, she discovered many local brands with great formulas and began testing them. It turned out they weren’t any more expensive than well-known global brands, and they were much more skin-friendly. She loves brands like Your Kaya, Yope, and Anwen.
But when she moved to the island, she didn’t expect it to be so hard to find well-formulated cosmetics at a reasonable price (especially since replacing her favorite products turned out to be tricky). Like many of you, she started bringing them over in her suitcase – which can be a hassle... Especially when the airline leaves your baggage behind twice in a row.
Ania constantly follows beauty groups, reads industry articles, and checks out consumer recommendations to stay on top of trends. And if you have favorite products – let us know!

Paweł – the typical guy who uses one product for everything (luckily, there’s a brand called LaQ that makes 8-in-1 products – perfect for the lazy ones). Paweł is the patient and calm type (unlike his sweetheart), which is why he handles the technical side of the store. He's into programming, so the website's design is largely thanks to him. He’s a logical thinker – everything has to be analyzed and well thought out.
Paweł also sports a beard, so beard oils are nothing new to him. In our store, you’ll find beard oils from the brand Arganove. But if you’re a man with slightly higher expectations than Paweł – don’t worry, we’ve got a broader selection of men’s cosmetics, like those from the brand Hagi (be sure to check out the Ahoy Captain! series!).

We wanted to create a space where everyone can find something for themselves. That’s why we offer products for women, men, and children. These are brands with good ingredients, eco-conscious, and cruelty-free. All products are original and sourced directly from manufacturers, which allows us to skip middleman markups and offer you the lowest prices.

We’ve also made delivery convenient – you can pick up your order at your chosen location anywhere in Iceland, thanks to Dropp delivery services.
