Description
The brightening, purifying and hydrating efficacy of this replenishing toner comes thanks to a triple AHA Complex derived from Italian Lemons, Apples and Grapes, alongside upcycled ingredients selected for their anti-ageing benefits.

Utilising the moisturising properties of Saccharide Isomerate, which has a natural affinity to the skin, this toner draws its soothing and purifying action from Rose and Witch Hazel Waters. Extracted from Italian fruits, a triple-blend of Alpha Hydroxy Acids, including Tartaric, Malic and Citrus, offers a gentle toning and purifying prelude to the skincare that follows.

Suitable for all skin types, particularly dry or dehydrated, and dermatologically proven safe for sensitive skin.

THE TRIPLE AHA-ACID COMPLEX EFFECT

Our triple-blend of Italian Alpha Hydroxy Acids gently exfoliates and nourishes the skin. This combination of high-quality Italian plant acids, including Tartaric Acid from Emilia-Romagna Grape, Malic Acid from Alto-Adige Apple, and Citric Acid from Sicilian Lemon, efficiently renews the skin, protecting Collagen and stimulating Fibroblasts to produce new fibrils.  

A CIRCULAR ECONOMY

UPCYCLED INGREDIENTS

We have integrated zero-waste upcycled ingredients, made from nutrient-rich plant-based leftovers, in a number of products. In doing so, we’re diverting leftovers from landfill.

Our Upcycled Wheat Bran comes from the Po River Valley in Northern Italy. It acts on wrinkles and promotes skin elasticity. Our Upcycled Red Grape Skin comes from the Emilia-Romagna region in Italy, and has strong antioxidant activity and helps the skin remain toned and elastic.

“It’s only our knowledge of the science of skincare that makes it possible to design products that are so highly effective whilst being so gentle on the skin.”

“Through my time spent working with spas, I knew that I wanted to create experiential skincare. I noticed that many natural brands were using ‘essential oils’ to fragrance their products, and these often have unpredictable allergenic effects. The attempts by some natural brands to avoid this issue by being unperfumed didn’t make sense as fragrance is a key component of the spa experience, and is vital in stimulating emotions. So, I teamed up with Dr. Francesca Ferri to create lab-formulated, allergen-screened fragrances, ensuring our products combine outstanding fragrance with outstandingly low allergenic potential.”
