Did You Know: Five Fascinating Care Facts
- Lots of people care for their face daily: But forget their body for days at a time, even though it makes up over 90% of skin .
- Your skin has its own microbiome: Just like your gut, your skin is home to billions of microorganisms - and they play a vital role in how it feels.
- Your sense of smell sharpens when you're relaxed: Which is why certain scents can feel more comforting after a shower or before bed.
- You lose almost five-billion skin cells a day : That’s more than 200 million cells an hour!
- The skin on your body renews itself around every 28–40 days : But texture, stress, and care habits all affect how smooth or supported it feels day to day.
Care As Nature Intended
So, what’s in the minimal and recyclable bottle? Thoughtfully crafted Hand & Body Washes, and Hand & Body Lotions . Four expertly developed formulas, thoughtfully made, and packaged with care.

Meet Your Brand New Body Care Essentials
Two collections, four products - all designed for mind-body care. Whether you’re stepping into the shower or hydrating for the day ahead, each product is made to work with your routine.
Hand & Body Wash
Velvety, soft foam gently cleanses, surrounding the skin with comforting softness. It leaves the skin feeling refreshed, nourished, and beautifully smooth after every wash.
The Products
Balancing Hand & Body Wash , Relaxing Hand & Body Wash
The Experience
Soft, creamy foam that glides over skin like silk. Our Hand & Body Wash transforms with water into a velvety lather.
Free From Sulfates
Our sulfate-free formulas cleanse gently without stripping the skin’s natural oils. Sulfates are strong detergents that are commonly used to make products foam. They can be effective at removing dirt, but they also strip away your skin’s natural oils, leaving it feeling tight, dry and uncomfortable. Made with gentle plant-based surfactants, our Relaxing Body Wash and Balancing Body Wash help to maintain your moisture barrier and support soft, balanced skin with every wash.
Active Ingredients
- Organic Lime Water: Purifies and revitalizes the skin - rich in antioxidants and vitamin C, it helps brighten, tone, and protect against environmental stressors for a fresh, balanced complexion.
- Plant-Based Surfactants: Gently cleanses while protecting the skin - plant-based surfactants derived from coconut oil and glucose ensure a mild yet effective cleanse. Known for their skin-friendly properties, they help maintain moisture balance, reduce irritation, and leave skin feeling soft and nourished.
Hand & Body Lotion
A daily care ritual for your skin. Each application provides immediate and long-lasting moisture, leaving the skin nourished, visibly softer, and more supple. Skin feels comfortable, velvety-soft, and refreshed, with no sticky or greasy residue.
The Products
Balancing Hand & Body Lotion , Relaxing Hand & Body Lotion
The Experience
Like a whisper of moisture for the skin, this light melting cream sinks in effortlessly, absorbing quickly, leaving no trace, only lasting hydration.
Active Ingredients
- Red Algae Extract: Hydrates and protects, boosting moisture retention while strengthening the skin’s natural barrier. Rich in antioxidants and minerals, it helps soothe, smooth, and defend against environmental stressors for a healthy, radiant complexion.
- Jojoba Oil: Deeply hydrates and protects, locking in moisture while keeping the skin soft and smooth. Its unique structure ensures long-lasting hydration without a greasy feel, preventing water loss and supporting the skin’s natural barrier.
- Botanical Hyaluron: Intensely hydrates and plumps. Botanical hyaluron from the Chinese trembling mushroom binds moisture deep into the skin for an immediate smoothing effect. Helps combat signs of fatigue, leaving the skin refreshed, supple, and deeply moisturized.
Step By Step: Your New Body Care Routine
