HOW DO WE FORMULATE

Formulating for efficacy, safety, and balance

How we create skincare that are safe and effective?

  1. Understand what sensitive, acne-prone skin needs.

  2. Choose ingredients backed by research.

  3. Formulate for both results and skin tolerance.

  4. Test for 28 days in an independent lab using standard methods.

  5. Measure results with lab-grade tools.

​​

We refine every formula based on real test outcomes, no guesswork.

We use ingredients at levels proven to be both safe and effective, and keep

every product pH-balanced to support skin health and boost performance.

We leave out anything unnecessary - no mineral oils, drying alcohols, parabens, sulfates, synthetic waxes, colours or synthetic fragrance.
