About the Brand
Brand logo
Founded by beauty industry expert Begoña Sanjuán and chemist Dr. Isabel Ramos, Ayuna brings together Spanish skincare heritage and advanced green biotechnology. Guided by the philosophy “Less Is Beauty,” the brand creates high-performance, eco-certified formulas that deliver visible results while respecting your skin and the environment. Each product is designed to simplify routines without compromising efficacy.

Ayuna proves that vegan, plant-powered skincare can match or exceed the results of the most advanced luxury brands. Each formula integrates epigenetic factors to optimise skin function at a cellular level, restoring balance, strengthening resilience, and enhancing brightness, without sacrificing sustainability or luxury sensoriality.

Ayuna takes a different approach to anti-ageing by working at the source of skin ageing. Instead of masking signs on the surface, lab-cultivated plant stem cells and advanced extracts retrain how your skin cells behave. This means faster renewal, stronger repair, and better structure. The result is fewer wrinkles, smoother texture, and firmer, more plump skin with lasting vitality.

Microbiome Balancing

Microbiome Balancing skincare focuses on supporting the skin’s ecosystem through a precise combination of prebiotics, probiotics, and postbiotics—each playing a distinct and complementary role. Prebiotics act as a targeted nutrient source, feeding and promoting the growth of beneficial microorganisms to maintain balance within the skin’s microbiome. Probiotics then introduce and reinforce these beneficial bacteria, helping to strengthen the skin’s natural defenses and reduce the presence of harmful strains. Postbiotics, the bioactive compounds produced through this process, enhance overall skin function by supporting barrier strength, improving hydration, and calming inflammation. Together, this synergistic approach stabilises the skin environment, resulting in a complexion that is clearer, more resilient, and visibly healthier.

Purifying

Purifying skincare is designed to deeply cleanse and decongest the skin by targeting excess oil at its source—within the pores. Rather than simply removing surface shine, these formulations work to dissolve and dislodge sebum, debris, and impurities trapped inside the pore lining, helping to prevent congestion, blackheads, and breakouts. Actives such as exfoliating acids and oil-regulating ingredients penetrate into the pore to effectively “strip out” excess oil, restoring clarity and refining skin texture. By clearing buildup from within, purifying treatments leave the skin feeling exceptionally clean, balanced and visibly smoother.

Detoxifying

Detoxifying skincare focuses on clearing the skin of accumulated pollutants, toxins, and metabolic waste that can dull the complexion and disrupt healthy function. Daily exposure to environmental aggressors such as pollution and oxidative stress can overwhelm the skin, leading to congestion, imbalance, and premature ageing. Advanced detoxifying formulations work to neutralise these impurities, support the skin’s natural elimination processes, and reduce the buildup of harmful particles within pores and on the surface. By restoring clarity and balance, this approach leaves the skin feeling purified, refreshed and visibly brighter.

Sebum Regulating (Mattifying)

Sebum regulation involves normalising oil production in your sebaceous glands to reduce shine, oiliness and breakouts, restoring your skin's natural balance. Overactive sebaceous glands can be triggered by internal factors like genetics, hormonal changes and stress, as well as external factors such as using stripping or overly active skincare, climate, pollution and diet. Excessive sebum production can lead to enlarged pores, acne and an oily, shiny appearance. Effective sebum regulation means using skincare products that balance oil levels without over-drying your skin, helping you achieve a clearer, more matte complexion.

Pore Decongesting

Pore decongesting focuses on both clearing and minimising the appearance of enlarged pores. Enlarged pores often result from excess oil production and the build-up of impurities within the pore, which can stretch them over time, while ageing further contributes as reduced elasticity makes them more visible. Effective formulations work first to clear the pores—dissolving and removing trapped sebum, debris, and congestion—before regulating oil production and supporting collagen and elastin to improve skin firmness. By addressing both internal build-up and structural integrity, pores can return to a clearer, more refined, and less noticeable state.

Anti-Wrinkle

Anti-wrinkle skincare is focused on both preventing and visibly reducing the formation of lines by targeting the structural and dynamic causes of wrinkles within the skin. Fine lines and deeper wrinkles develop as collagen and elastin decline, cell turnover slows and repeated facial movements create creases that become etched over time. Advanced formulations address these mechanisms through a combination of elastin-stimulating actives, smoothing peptides that help relax the appearance of expression lines, and deeply hydrating ingredients that plump the skin from within. By reinforcing the skin’s architecture while softening surface contractions and improving elasticity, anti-wrinkle skincare delivers a visibly smoother complexion.

Firming & Lifting

Firming & Lifting skincare is designed to restore strength, structure, and definition to the skin, creating a visibly tighter, more sculpted appearance. As the skin loses collagen and elasticity over time, it can begin to soften and sag, losing its natural contours. Advanced formulations work to rebuild this support from within—boosting firmness while helping to visibly lift and redefine the skin. The result is a smoother, more toned complexion with enhanced bounce and resilience, where facial contours appear sharper and elevated.

Nourishing

Nourishing skincare focuses on replenishing the skin with essential lipids, nutrients, and bioactive compounds to restore comfort, resilience, and optimal function. When the skin is depleted—whether through environmental stress, over-exfoliation, or natural ageing—it can become dry, fragile, and less able to protect itself. Nourishing formulations work to rebuild the lipid barrier using ingredients rich in fatty acids, vitamins, and antioxidants, helping to reinforce the skin’s structure while supporting repair and reducing moisture loss. By restoring what the skin lacks, this approach leaves it softer, stronger, and more supple.

Antioxidant

Antioxidant skincare is dedicated to protecting the skin against oxidative stress—one of the primary drivers of premature ageing and cellular damage—while preserving overall skin integrity and vitality. These formulations rely on potent molecules such as vitamin C, vitamin E, and polyphenols, which neutralize free radicals generated by UV exposure and environmental aggressors before they can compromise cellular structures like lipids, proteins, and DNA. Beyond defence, many antioxidants also support repair processes and enhance collagen stability, contributing to improved firmness, brightness and resilience. The result is skin that is not only shielded from ongoing damage but maintained in a healthier, more luminous state over time.

Fermented Lactobacillus & Cocos Nuci-fera

Fermented Lactobacillus & Cocos Nucifera Extract is derived from the fermentation of Lactobacillus Bacteria and Coconut Juice. This process releases natural sugars that serve as probiotics on the skin, enhancing the balance of the skin microbiome. It promotes the growth of beneficial microorganisms while safeguarding against harmful bacteria. In addition to supporting the microbiome, it functions as a natural preservative and skin softener.

Volcanic Glass

Volcanic Glass, rich in silica and minerals, is finely ground to be gentle even on the most sensitive skin. In skincare formulas, it acts as a purifying and detoxifying agent, effectively drawing out impurities and excess oil. This leaves the skin clearer, fresher and mattified.

Activated Carbon

Activated Carbon provides powerful detoxifying and purifying benefits for oily and congested skin. It works by deeply cleansing the pores, absorbing excess sebum, and eliminating impurities, resulting in visibly clearer and more balanced skin. Over time, it helps reduce enlarged pores, prevent breakouts, and minimise shine, making it an excellent choice for maintaining a healthy complexion.

Ceratonia Siliqua Gum

Ceratonia Siliqua Gum is a natural active obtained from the carob tree. It provides a very pleasant soothing effect, while smoothing out wrinkles and softening skin texture.

Pullulan

Pullulan, derived from the fermentation of the Aureobasidium pullulans fungus, is a natural sugar. It forms a thin, breathable film on the skin that instantly tightens and lifts, reducing the visibility of fine lines and wrinkles. This film also serves as a protective barrier, sealing in moisture to keep the skin hydrated and safeguarding it from environmental pollutants.

Olea Europea Oil

Olea Europea Oil also known as Olive oil is rich in fatty acids and antioxidants, offering nourishing and protective benefits for the skin. Abundant in Vitamin E, it shields the skin from cell-damageing free radicals, effectively preventing premature skin ageing. Its high content of Fatty Acids improves barrier function and hydration levels, while its anti-inflammatory properties help reduce skin sensitivity for a healthy and balanced complexion.

Non Active Acne

Clogged pores result from the accumulation of excess sebum and keratinized dead skin cells within hair follicles, leading to various dermatological manifestations.

Blackheads, or open comedones, form when a pore remains open, allowing the contents to oxidize and darken, resulting in their characteristic black or dark brown appearance. In contrast, whiteheads, or closed comedones, occur when a pore is occluded and sealed by a thin layer of epidermis, appearing as small, raised, white or flesh-colored bumps due to the lack of oxygen exposure.

The broader term "congestion" refers to the buildup of debris within pores, commonly observed on the face and presenting as blackheads, whiteheads, or other blemishes, often serving as precursors to inflammatory acne lesions.
