Nourishing Beauty
The foundation of everything we create is nourishment. Our approach to natural skincare is rooted in many years of study in herbalism and skin health. We believe that supporting the skin and hair with wholesome, potent and natural ingredients is the key to a healthy and radiant complexion.
Many approaches in modern skincare use harsh or active ingredients to ‘cleanse’ and ‘detox’ which can strip the outer layer of skin of its precious microbiome and oil barrier, which then creates a cycle of reliance on further products to maintain moisture.
Each and every one of our skincare products uses truly nourishing, botanical ingredients that work in harmony with our skins natural PH, microbiome and composition.
The result is truly nourished skin which looks radiant and healthy in the long term and doesn’t need to rely on the application of multiple products each day.
Whole Plant Beauty
One of the key differences in our skincare products is that we centre on whole-plant ingredients. This means that we infuse our oils, water and honey with mainly the flowers but in some cases also the leaves and roots of dried or fresh plants.
This is process is done in our studio, inspired by traditional herbalism techniques. Those infusions then go on to form the bases for all our natural skincare, such as our Facial Serums and Body Oils. These whole plant infusions are far safer, more sustainable and much more effective than essential oil extracts which you will find in most modern skincare preparations, by contrast, contain only isolated components of the plants.
Our Skincare Routine
We don’t believe in the traditional skin ‘types,’ as skin that is well nourished from the inside and out will appear radiant and healthy.
However, when out of balance, we can experience different symptoms such as dryness or dehydration, redness, overproduction of oil or breakouts. This can result due to a range of factors from diet to hormones to your stage of life, stresses or environment.
We find that all skin ‘types’ need the same foundational skincare routine:
Cleansing - Choose between our Oenone Nourishing Cleansing Oil and our Mellonia Honeyed Cleansing Balm to gently remove any impurities each evening.
Toning - A spitz of L'eau Botanique Rose Petal Facial Tonic infused with plant extracts and moisturising seaweed to balance the skin’s ph and restore moisture.
Nourishment & Protection - A few drops of one of our Facial Serums. Each includes an array of plant oils infused with herbs and flowers that support the cells and protect the skin throughout the day.
Cell Regeneration - This is achieved through gentle exfoliation no more than once a week. We recommend adding a dusting of one of our Clay Masks to your chosen cleanser as a weekly ritual.
Start Your Nourishing Skincare Journey
Transitioning your beauty products to a wholesome and natural skin care regime is the perfect way to begin your journey towards a glowing, radiant complexion. Often, your skin will respond immediately and positively, and the results will include a boost in clarity, suppleness and overall vibrancy!
To make the swap even easier, we have created sample sets for classic skincare types.
Each set lasts around a month so you can try our recommended natural skincare routine for yourself.
*It is natural to experience a short period of adjustment as your skin focuses on expelling any synthetics or toxins which may have been present in previous products. This adjustment period varies for each person and may include localized break-outs, a change in the tone or texture, or increased oiliness or dryness. Be patient with your skin as it enters into a new phase of health and vitality. Your bright and radiant complexion will thank you very soon!
