What are you most known for?
We are most known for our diverse, multicultural approach to skin. We believe the skincare industry adheres to a broken and outdated model. The ‘dry/normal/oily’ classification system is incomplete and does not address the differences found within varying skin tones or the need to approach and treat each skin tone independently.
The most important factor to consider when designing skincare is tone. Your tone determines your skin personality, which inherently defines unique characteristics like skin density, sensitivity, SPF requirements, and potency tolerance levels.
We are also known for our innovative and exclusive packaging. Our custom-crafted stone Luxador offers natural luxury at its finest. Inspired by the beauty of nature – sand, stone, hemp and water unite to create this exclusive piece of art.
