Our botanical ingredients: chosen with intention and delivered with care

What is Aloe Vera?

Aloe Vera is a nutrient-rich succulent long celebrated for its cooling, calming, and restorative properties. From traditional herbal remedies to modern skincare, its clear gel has been trusted to hydrate, soothe, and help renew the skin naturally.

What does Aloe Vera do?

– Deeply hydrates and softens dry or irritated skin

– Calms inflammation from sun exposure, shaving, or skin stress

– Supports skin regeneration, helping to restore barrier function

– Provides antioxidant protection against environmental damage

What are the challenges with Aloe Vera?

While Aloe Vera is naturally potent, its benefits are fragile. Heat, light, and oxidation can break down its active compounds, limiting shelf life and reducing efficacy. And in many conventional products, it’s too diluted or poorly absorbed to make a meaningful difference.

How nanoencapsulation helps with Aloe Vera

Aloe Vera’s benefits come from a rich mix of natural actives, including hydrating polysaccharides, vitamins like A, C, and E, soothing enzymes, and gentle exfoliants like salicylic acid. These compounds work together to calm, nourish, and repair but they’re delicate and easily broken down. Nanoencapsulation helps protect and deliver these actives where they’re most effective, so you get more of the good, right where it’s needed.

What is Black Pepper?

Black Pepper isn’t just a kitchen spice, it’s a powerful botanical with a long history in traditional medicine. Derived from the dried berries of the Piper nigrum plant, black pepper contains active compounds that do far more than enhance flavour, they unlock benefits within the body.

What does black pepper do?

– Boosts absorption of other nutrients and herbal compounds

What is Camphor?

Camphor is a naturally occurring compound extracted from the wood of the camphor tree. Known for its unmistakable scent and cooling sensation, it’s been used in traditional medicine for centuries, particularly in topical remedies to soothe discomfort, ease congestion, and invigorate the senses.

What does camphor do?

– Creates a warming or cooling sensation on the skin

– Soothes sore muscles and minor aches

– Stimulates circulation and brings a sense of relief

What is Collagen?

Collagen is the most abundant protein in the human body, found in skin, bones, muscles, and connective tissue. It acts like scaffolding, giving skin its structure, elasticity, and firmness. Over time, collagen production declines, which is why it’s a key focus in Anti-Aging skincare and supplements. Collagen can be derived from various natural sources, including marine, bovine, and porcine origins, each offering different types and benefits. There is no alternative vegan or vegetarian equivalent today but research and development continues. 

What does collagen do?
