Professional travel skincare for hikers, campers and frequent flyers.

Andy Qi was created for people who travel often and spend time outdoors. Our Nordic travel skincare and cosmetics focus on compact, ready-to-use essentials that fit real travel. Hemp seed oil helps maintain a comfortable skin feel while you face cold winds, dry air, and long days on the road. Whether you need hiking or camping skincare, the approach stays the same: clean use, minimal packing, and reliable results.

The Wild Soul Behind Our Hiking Skincare

Andrus Raissar built Andy Qi where missions meet recovery. He served in Estonia’s first Defence Forces elite special operations unit, where endurance is not a slogan but a daily reality in forests, snow, wind and long field deployments. Much of that work was and still is classified, but the lessons are simple and they stay with you. Stay sharp, stay ready and take care of what keeps you moving. The mindset stays the same “The only easy day was yesterday.” After those years, he searched for peace in the only way he knew how, through hiking, travel and silence on real trails. That journey led him to study massage therapy, learning how to restore what strength alone cannot fix. After graduating, he worked as a massage therapist, carrying the discipline of special operations into a new mission. Helping the body recover, reset and perform again. From that combination of experience, skill and mindset, Andy Qi hiking skincare was born. Our compact mini tins, pre-moistened face pads and travel wipes are made for extreme cold, wet forests, high altitudes, harsh sun, dust and the punishing dry air of long flights. Each recipe has a clear purpose. To calm and reset after exposure, to wake you up for early starts or to fuel you when the route keeps pushing. We use pure Estonian organic hemp seed oil for deep, breathable hydration and carefully selected essential oils for functional outdoor use. This is skincare for people who move and for those who understand that staying operational means protecting the skin as well as the mind. After each use, close the lid tightly so the oils stay fresh for tomorrow and the day after.

The Wild Soul of Andy Qi

THE HEART OF THE BRAND (FAMILY FOUNDATION)

Andy Qi is a family-built hiking skincare line created by father Andrus and daughter Keidi. That bond brings our essential duality to life. Andrus carries the field-tested toughness of a man shaped by extreme conditions. Keidi brings the calm and care that keep skin and mind steady on the move. Together, they shape outdoor travel cosmetics that feel human, work fast, and stay reliable in real terrain.

THE PHILOSOPHY OF BALANCE (QI & ANDY)

Every formula is designed around a balance you can feel on the trail. Qi stands for rugged endurance and operational strength. Andy stands for gentle recovery and quiet focus. We fuse both sides into compact 3-in-1 hiking skincare that protects during hard miles and restores after them, linking movement with stillness, grit with reset, and endurance with renewal.

UNCOMPROMISING PURITY (NORDIC SOURCE)

We do not compromise on what touches your skin. Our base is Estonian organic hemp seed oil, sourced from trusted Nordic producers with full traceability from clean soil to the tin in your backpack. We pair it with high-grade essential oils selected for their functional outdoor benefits. The result is 100% natural travel skincare, built for cold winds, dry air and long days outside.

PROVEN IN THE EXTREMES (SURVIVAL GEAR)

We do not guess-we test. These are not shelf cosmetics; they are skin survival gear. Every recipe is field-proven in real climates, from Arctic frost to wet forest trails to desert heat. Our compact hiking cosmetics clean fast, hydrate deeply, and form a dependable barrier against UV, wind and extreme cold when your route gets serious.

THE SYSTEMIC RITUAL (SENSORY EFFECT)

Outdoor skincare should do more than sit on the surface. Our 3-in-1 approach lets essential oils absorb through the skin to deliver clear physical and mental benefits. One recipe calms and resets after exposure. One wakes you up for early starts. One fuels you when energy drops mid-journey. A quick wipe or pad becomes a real trail ritual.

CONSCIOUS DESIGN (DURABILITY & RESPONSIBILITY)

We respect the wild and build for it. The minimalist aluminum tins are lightweight, impact-resistant, UV-safe, moisture-proof and airtight, so they travel cleanly in any pack or carry-on. Our biodegradable pads and wipes are made for multiple uses on the move. After each use, close the lid tightly to keep the oils fresh for tomorrow and the day after.

Here we are together, enjoying the crisp beauty of the Baltic Sea coast-my daughter Keidi and I.

It is precisely moments like these-where the salty wind and sun meet the skin-that serve as our greatest inspiration. Here, amidst the raw elements, we understand most clearly what truly effective travel skincare needs to be. These shared journeys do more than recharge our energy, they form the very foundation of our product development. We see and feel on our own skin why rich hemp seed oil is an indispensable shield against harsh conditions. Our goal is to create natural skincare solutions born from real-life needs-ensuring your skin remains protected, hydrated, and ready for every adventure.

In the stillness of the therapy room, listening to the needs of the skin and soul.

This massage cabinet was my laboratory of care. Working daily as a therapist, I realized that true natural skincare isn’t just about the product-it’s about the feeling it leaves behind. It was here, through the hands-on practice of massage therapy, that the vision for Andy Qi was born. My clients didn’t just want a treatment-they longed for an innovative solution they could take with them. Their desire for lasting hydration and the healing power of essential oils inspired me to create a unique travel skincare concept-bringing the spa-quality experience and the benefits of organic hemp seed oil out of the treatment room and into your daily adventures.

Pushing limits in the frozen bog: The advantage of a cared-for body.

Here, in the biting cold of the winter bog, I demonstrate that limits are often just an illusion. This split on an icy boardwalk isn’t just a physical feat-it is proof of what a body is capable of when it is truly cared for. Just as muscles need discipline to stay flexible in the freezing air, your skin demands the deep, protective barrier of organic hemp seed oil to withstand the elements. This is the core of our philosophy, correct care gives you the advantage. With the right natural skincare, you build resilience and health, allowing you to endure extreme conditions and move freely, no matter how low the temperature drops.
