The Skins Essential Trinity

The Skins Essential Trinity

Oil, water, and minerals are three major components that make up skin. By turning to plant oils, plant waters, and mineral-rich clays we are able to mimic the natural rhythms of the body and meet the skin’s own strategy for hydration, purification and defense.

Here’s why: Sweat glands and sebaceous glands work together to produce a thin coating of oil (lipids) and water (perspiration) called the acid mantle. The acid mantle is the skin’s protective barrier against disease. Conventional treatments strip away this natural barrier, disrupting the skin’s ability to protect. Daily application of our Oil Serums and Plant HydroSouls support this protective barrier, providing deep nourishment, hydration, and rejuvenation. A weekly clay mask exfoliates, purifies, and tones, without dissolving the protective epidermal layer of the skin. Together, these three simple gems perform every task required for effect skin therapy.
