# NIOD vs Eco Tan

Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/au/compare/niod-vs-eco-tan

The Lovi Fit is the same in every country; only the stores and prices differ, and the ones here are for Australia.

NIOD and Eco Tan are distinct skincare lines recognized for thoughtful formulation and targeted care. The Canadian brand, founded in 2015 and owned by The Estée Lauder Companies Inc. since 2021, is known for advanced [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/au/ingredients/serum) and balancing toners featuring sophisticated ingredients like Modulating Glucosides and [Superoxide Dismutase](https://lovi.care/skincare/au/ingredients/superoxide-dismutase) Saccharide Mist, making its offerings ideal for mature, sensitive, and dry skin. Conversely, the second option is celebrated for clarifying toners and botanical [extracts](https://lovi.care/skincare/au/ingredients/extract) such as Face Tan [Water](https://lovi.care/skincare/au/ingredients/water), which suit sensitive, dry, and combination skin types. While both cater to sensitive and dry complexions, they differ through NIOD relying on scientifically rigorous development for targeted results and Eco Tan relying on natural extracts to gently refresh the complexion.

NIOD is a Canadian skincare brand founded in 2015 and owned by The Estée Lauder Companies Inc. since 2021.
