Finding reliable and effective skincare products can be a mission in itself. Educating yourself on the skin care ingredients makes it a little easier to find the right product for you. We are lucky to have access to science papers on the internet and apps explaining the back of the labels.

Crafted to prioritise wellbeing; taking care of the mind, body and skin, I like to be one step ahead and go beyond the ingredients that are trending right now. I love creating with different ingredients. I am very particular in the ingredients that I source. What I look for is it must be sourced and made in a sustainable way. Researching the latest science in different countries and the latest in botanical ingredients and their benefits on the skin. Some of them you may think are unusual.
