The Benefits

Nourishing

Nourishing skincare focuses on providing a deeply comforting, soothing, and softening experience with richer product formats. Ingredients like oils and ceramides nourish your skin barrier, replenishing essential lipids and hydration to boost resilience and suppleness. These formulas leave your skin feeling nurtured and instantly improve rough texture. Well-nourished skin is less prone to dryness, dehydration, and sensitivity, giving you a more radiant and healthy appearance.

Plumping

Skin plumping involves using active ingredients to boost the production of key structural components like collagen, the dermal-epidermal junction, and glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), giving your skin more volume and density. Collagen provides structural support and firmness, while the dermal-epidermal junction, a thin connective layer, ensures smooth, wrinkle-free skin by facilitating cell communication. GAGs, like hyaluronic acid, keep your skin hydrated and plump from within. By stimulating these components, active ingredients help restore your skin's plumpness and radiance.

Anti-Wrinkle

Anti-wrinkle products work to smooth out fine lines and wrinkles by boosting collagen and elastin, essential proteins that keep your skin glowing. Collagen helps reduce wrinkle depth, while elastin shortens their length. Keeping your skin hydrated is crucial, as dehydration can make wrinkles more noticeable. For smooth, bouncy skin, ensure you stay well-hydrated and use products that promote collagen and elastin production.

Firming

Skin firming focuses on boosting your skin's elasticity and tightness to reduce sagging and wrinkles, leaving your skin looking firmer. This is done by stimulating fibroblasts to produce more elastin, the protein that helps your skin stretch and bounce back. To keep your skin firm longer, antioxidants protect these elastin fibres from free radical damage, which can cause early breakdown. This combined action helps maintain a youthful, resilient complexion.

Lifting

Lifting is all about visibly firming and tightening skin that shows signs of sagging. As we age, our skin produces less collagen and elastin, the proteins that keep it firm and elastic. Sun exposure and pollution make this worse, leading to a sagging appearance. Lifting products work by creating a tightening film on your skin for an immediate lift, while also rejuvenating it over time. These actives stimulate collagen production and improve skin tone and elasticity, helping to restore facial contours and enhance overall firmness.

Anti-Pigmentation

Dealing with pigmentation means targeting melanin overproduction to reduce dark spots and prevent new ones. Melanin production can be triggered by UV exposure, pollution, hormonal changes (like during pregnancy), and inflammation (from acne or cuts). This excess pigment is then transferred to surrounding cells in epidermis called keratinocytes, which then moves to the skin's surface, causing visible dark spots.

To treat hyperpigmentation, a personalised and consistent approach is needed. Our anti-pigmentation products include lightening agents to block tyrosinase (the enzyme that creates melanin), antioxidants to fight free radicals, and ingredients to speed up skin cell turnover, removing pigmented cells. Using broad-spectrum sun protection is crucial to prevent new pigmentation during treatment.

Antioxidant

Antioxidant Protection shields your skin and preserves its youthful glow. It refers to a defence system that protects against harmful molecules and keeps your complexion healthy and radiant. Free radicals, those incredibly reactive molecules, come from everyday sources like sunlight, diet, smoking, and pollution. They attack healthy cells, accelerating skin ageing, causing wrinkles, loss of firmness, pigmentation, and dullness.

Incorporating antioxidants, such as vitamins C and E, into your skincare routine creates a protective shield on your skin. These powerful ingredients neutralise free radicals, preventing them from causing damage. The result is skin that stays youthful, firm, and luminous.

Repairing

Repairing your skin means restoring cells damaged by external factors like UV rays and free radicals, which can harm cell DNA and slow regeneration. Although our cells naturally repair themselves, this ability weakens over time due to ageing and repeated environmental exposure. Active ingredients can boost this natural process, preserving your skin's health, elasticity, and radiance. By supporting skin cell repair, these ingredients combat premature ageing and help maintain a firm, plump, and toned complexion.

Anti-Inflammatory

Anti-Inflammatory skincare soothes, heal, and balance your skin, the targeted actives are designed to reduce inflammation. Inflammation is your body's natural response to injury or irritation, but continuous inflammation can lead to troublesome skin conditions like acne, rosacea, or eczema. Our anti-inflammatory skincare solutions work to soothe and calm your skin, reducing redness, swelling, and discomfort to provide much-needed relief. By strengthening your skin's barrier, these products help protect against further irritation and damage. Additionally, the anti-inflammatory actives support your skin's natural healing processes, leading to a more balanced and resilient complexion.

Active Ingredients

Beeswax

Beeswax is a non-comedogenic (does not clog pores) natural wax that forms a strong, protective barrier on the skin. This shield helps defend against external stresses like wind, sun, and cold, allowing the skin to heal and rejuvenate. Beeswax also nourishes the skin, leaving it feeling soft, hydrated, and smooth.

Shea Butter

Shea Butter is renowned for its deeply nourishing benefits. It helps to repair and strengthen a weakened skin barrier while enhancing water retention. It quickly replenishes and restores dry, dehydrated and fragile skins.

Luffa Oil

Luffa Oil is supremely nourishing and repairing. It has a natural composition of 72% polyunsaturated fatty acids, of which 62% are essential fatty acids. This fatty acid content type is close to that of our body's and therefore restores the normal lipidic (oily) state of dry skins, and rebuilds enough oils to replenish optimal barrier function.

Shiitake Extract

The Shiitake Extract often referred to as "elixir of life" is widely used in Japanese medicine. It has strong Collagen boosting power, as it supports Collagen synthesis throughout its entire cycle. This ensures that collagen is produced at the highest quality for visible anti-ageing results.

Marine Exopolysaccharide

The Marine Exopolysaccharide stimulates collagen and elastin synthesis to improve the skin's firmness, smoothness and plumpness. Furthermore, it also has a tightening benefit on the collagen fibre network, which provides an immediate and durable lifting effect, filling in fine lines and wrinkles.

Vitamin E

Vitamin E is a powerful oil-soluble antioxidant renowned for its excellent skin-protecting and replenishing properties. It helps prevent premature ageing by safeguarding skin cell membranes from damageing free radicals. Its nourishing qualities strengthen the skin barrier, enhancing resilience against environmental aggressors and improving water retention by reducing trans-epidermal water loss (TEWL). Additionally, Vitamin E has soothing effect thanks to it anti-inflammatory properties.

Anti-ROS and anti-RNS Antioxidant

This targeted antioxidant neutralises Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) and Reactive Nitrogen Species (RNS), which are common free radicals induced by the environment. By doing so, it prevents melanin overproduction and the formation of lipofuscin, a pigment that results from oxidised sebum (oil); thus reducing the amount of pigment produced. Additionally, it detoxifies the skin and slows down cell ageing, allowing your skin to be more rejuvenated.

Menopause & Skin

Menopause brings about significant changes to the skin, largely due to hormonal fluctuations, especially the decline in estrogen levels. This natural transition can affect how your skin looks and feels, making it all the more important to adjust your skincare routine to support your skin’s evolving needs. As estrogen levels drop, the skin can become thinner, drier, and less elastic, leading to increased wrinkles, sagging, and a general loss of firmness. Skin may also become more sensitive, prone to redness, and slower to heal, making it essential to nurture your complexion with extra care during this time. The decrease in estrogen during menopause directly impacts collagen production, hydration, and overall skin resilience. Reduced collagen and natural oils lead to a thinner, drier skin texture that’s more vulnerable to wrinkles and sagging. To counteract these effects, skincare during menopause should focus on hydration, using ingredients like hyaluronic acid to restore moisture, peptides and retinoids to boost collagen, and antioxidants to combat oxidative stress. This combination helps improve skin firmness, soothe sensitivity, and maintain a healthy glow. Navigating menopause with the right skincare can make a world of difference. You’ll find that a tailored routine helps your skin feel softer, more hydrated, and visibly firmer. By incorporating collagen-boosting and protective ingredients, you can effectively manage the changes and keep your complexion looking radiant and resilient. Menopause may change your skin, but with the right approach, you can embrace this new phase with confidence. A thoughtful skincare routine that prioritises hydration, collagen support, and antioxidant protection will help maintain a healthy, youthful appearance. By giving your skin the care it needs during this transition, you’ll enjoy a resilient complexion that feels strong, nourished, and beautifully balanced.
