The Science of Skin Health: Our Foundational Philosophy

Our brand has always attracted dedicated skincare enthusiasts who expect the highest standards when choosing to invest in our products. Unlike many brands that focus only on superficial or temporary results—often masking the appearance of youth—we take a deeper approach, rooted in the science of skin and its biology.

Beyond creating desirable products that provide a sensorial joy to use, our primary goal is to improve skin health and condition. We strive for long-term positive changes that go beyond a temporary glow, ensuring a meaningful transformation at a cellular level.

We recognise the complexity consumers face when navigating beauty brands. Feeling seen, heard, and valued is essential to how we communicate with our audience, making transparency and scientific integrity central to our ethos.

Pioneering Skincare: Innovation Through Biotechnology

Biology has always been our driving passion. Understanding the intricate processes of the human body is key to addressing the causes and effects of ageing in ways that are both effective and ethical.

As early adopters of biotechnology—biology combined with technology—we harness the power of living organisms such as ferments, bacteria, and active plant cells, which are cultured in controlled laboratory environments. This approach ensures precision, efficacy, and sustainability, minimising environmental impact while maximising results.

The Science of Skin Aging: Intrinsic and Extrinsic Factors

GCSE Biology Class: Are you sitting comfortably! Skin ageing occurs due to both intrinsic and extrinsic factors. Intrinsic ageing is dictated by genetics, hormones, and biological processes, while extrinsic ageing results from environmental exposure, such as UV rays and pollution. Since we have greater control over extrinsic factors, collaborating with biologists and cosmetic chemists allows us to develop formulations that address skin health at a cellular level.

Targeting Cellular Aging: Our Innovative Research

We are currently working with groundbreaking innovation of molecular biology to deepen our understanding of crucial biological processes that impact skin function. This includes research into cell longevity and how to delay cellular senescence—commonly referred to as 'zombie cells'—which can contribute to visible signs of ageing.

It is now possible to defend and protect, and where possible, restore the skin. This is HUGE and very exciting. By continuously advancing our knowledge of molecules and antioxidants, we can unlock their extraordinary ability to withstand environmental stress, including UV exposure. Our commitment is to pioneer a new era of skincare longevity, ensuring that science and nature work in harmony to support skin health for years to come.
