Detoxifying

Detoxifying means using active ingredients to remove impurities, toxins, and pollutants from your skin. It protects your skin cells from damage caused by free radicals, promoting healthier, clearer, and more balanced skin.

Brightening (Energising)

Energising skincare involves using active ingredients to boost your blood circulation, detoxification, and cellular energy. Improved blood circulation brings more essential nutrients and oxygen to your skin, while detoxification helps eliminate cell waste and impurities that can make your skin look dull. Certain active ingredients also enhance your skin's metabolism and regeneration. These combined actions restore your skin's vitality and radiant appearance, giving you a fresh, energised look.

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.

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 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.

Anti-Bacterial

Anti-bacterial action targets and inhibits the growth of bacteria on your skin's surface. Anti-bacterial ingredients work by disrupting essential bacterial processes like cell wall synthesis or protein production, reducing the risk of skin infections and inflammation. They are especially effective for treating acne by controlling the acne-causing bacteria known as Cutibacterium acnes (C. acnes). This anti-bacterial action helps diminish imperfections, prevent new breakouts, and reduce irritation, giving you clearer, healthier skin.

Purifying

Purifying your skin means removing impurities, reducing excess oil, and deep cleansing to minimise a greasy or shiny appearance and prevent breakouts. This process leaves your skin clearer, more balanced, and looking fresh.

Complexion-Unifying (Anti-Blotchiness)

Evening skin tone is all about reducing blotchiness and achieving a more uniform complexion. Skincare products designed for this purpose use a blend of active ingredients, including soothing agents, anti-pigmentation compounds, antioxidants, and skin-restoring elements. These ingredients work together to diminish redness, inflammation, and pigment irregularities caused by inflammation, while also strengthening and protecting your skin against environmental irritants and future damage. This promotes healing and resilience, leaving your skin more balanced, radiant, and beautiful.

Pore Tightening & Minimising

Pore minimising involves reducing the appearance of enlarged pores. Enlarged pores often result from excess oil production and accumulated impurities, which stretch them over time. ageing also plays a role, as reduced skin elasticity makes pores more visible. Pore-minimising formulas tackle these issues by regulating oil production and boosting collagen and elastin to enhance skin elasticity. This helps pores return to their natural, less noticeable shape, giving your skin a smoother, more refined look.

Hydrating

Hydration is all about the water content in your skin that keeps it supple and healthy. Humectants, ingredients with water-binding properties, deliver this hydration by attracting water molecules from the atmosphere. For the best results, apply hydrating serums right after a shower. Humectants not only replenish your skin's hydration but also enhance its water retention, creating a long-lasting hydration reservoir. Adding humectants like hyaluronic acid to your routine will restore your skin's healthy glow, minimize fine lines, and provide a plumping effect.

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.

Chemical Exfoliation

Chemical exfoliation uses acids to dissolve the "glue" holding dead skin cells together, promoting skin cell turnover and replacing old cells with new, healthy ones. Acids like AHAs, BHAs, and PHAs not only help shed skin but also offer benefits like brightening, clarifying, and anti-ageing, depending on the type used.

Thyme

Thymehyme helps keep oily, congested, and acne-prone skin clear and balanced. It works to regulate excess oil, fight acne-causing bacteria, and target whiteheads and blackheads, while its anti-inflammatory action calms irritation. These results come from its natural phenolic properties which are plant-based antioxidant compounds with strong antibacterial and purifying power.

Juniper

Juniper is a powerful antibacterial botanical especially suited to oily and breakout-prone skin. It is rich in natural compounds terpenes and flavonoids which work to regulate sebum, reducing excess oil, refining pores and limiting the growth of acne-causing bacteria.

Clove

Clove Extract is rich in eugenol and flavonoids, delivering potent antioxidant and purifying benefits that help protect skin from environmental stressors and free radical damage. Known for its natural antibacterial and stimulating properties, Clove supports microcirculation, promotes a clearer, more balanced complexion, and helps refine skin texture while soothing inflammation.

Sage

Sage is a naturally purifying and mattifying botanical that helps regulate oil and refine pores. Its natural antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties target impurities and calm irritation, making it ideal for acneic skin. Rich in antioxidants, it helps defend the skin against free radical damage (unstable molecules that damage skin cells and speed up aging).

Myrrh

Myrrh is a balancing botanical with purifying and calming benefits that tightens pores and helps to regulate the skin’s natural oil production. It also works to purify the skin by gently removing buildup that can clog pores, while its anti-inflammatory properties soothe irritation. This makes Myrrh especially helpful for acne and oily skins.

Arnica Extract

Arnica Extract is rich in flavonoids and Phenolic Acid. It has powerful anti-inflammatory benefits, expert at protecting sensitive skin and soothing tightness. Arnica also contains strong antioxidant and protective benefits.

Horse Chestnut

Horse Chestnut, a botanical extract known for its circulation-boosting properties. It promotes lymphatic drainage, helping to reduce fluid buildup and puffiness, while smoothing and firming the skin’s appearance. This natural powerhouse works to visibly diminish cellulite and support a more toned skin.

Ivy Leaf

Ivy Leaf is valued for its ability to soothe and calm sensitive or rosacea-prone skin. Rich in flavonoids and saponins, it helps strengthen fragile capillaries (the tiny blood vessels that cause redness and flushing). By supporting microcirculation, it encourages better oxygen and nutrient delivery, which promotes repair, healing and a more even complexion.

Witch Hazel Extract

Witch Hazel extract is rich in tannins, flavonoids and has potent anti-inflammatory properties. It promotes microcirculation and strengthens the capillary network to reduce skin sensitivity and redness.

Lemon Peel

Lemon Peel is nature’s brightener to dull and uneven complexions. Bursting with vitamin C and flavonoids, it protects against free radicals (unstable molecules that break down collagen and speed up ageing). Its gentle exfoliating action sweeps away dead skin cells, revealing a brighter, clearer and more even complexion.

Alpha-Hydroxy Acids

Alpha-Hydroxy Acids are a chemical exfoliant which exfoliate the top layers of the skin, offering a variety of benefits. They are mostly derived from plant-based sources. Some of the most common AHAs are Glycolic Acid, Lactic Acid, Citric Acid, Mandelic Acid and Malic Acid. Depending on the type of AHA, they can reduce dullness, even skin tone, reduce pigmentation, tighten pores, stimulate collagen production, hydrate the skin and offer antioxidant protection. AHAs are generally less irritating and drying to the skin as they are water-soluble.

Chamomile Extract

Chamomile Extract, derived from chamomile flowers, is one of the most potent anti-inflammatory actives. This gentle extract not only soothes and calms but also deeply nourishes and hydrates the skin. With its potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, it effectively heals and protects, promoting skin health and resilience.

Allantoin

Allantoin is a natural plant derivative, widely used in skincare for its soothing, hydrating, softening and healing properties.

Glycerin

Glycerin is a potent humectant commonly used in skincare for its powerful hydrating properties. It works by attracting water molecules from the atmosphere and retaining them in the deeper layers of the skin, effectively boosting hydration reservoir. This helps to plump up the skin, resulting in reduced dehydration lines and a soft, supple complexion.

Urea

A powerful humectant naturally found in the skin, Urea draws and retains moisture within the stratum corneum, delivering deep, long-lasting hydration. It also helps to gently soften and smooth rough or flaky areas, improving overall skin texture and suppleness.

Guarana

Guarana is a botanical extract that is naturally rich in caffeine and polyphenols. It functions primarily as a stimulating, de-puffing and antioxidant active: its caffeine content helps boost microcirculation, reduce fluid retention and visibly minimise puffiness, while its antioxidants support protection against environmental stressors that contribute to dullness and fatigue. Guarana also has mild firming and energising effects, making skin appear more awake, refreshed and toned. It’s best suited for dull, tired, puffy, congested or sluggish skin.

Spotlight

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.
