# evanhealy — brand brief and agent instructions

**evanhealy** (also written *evan healy*; the brand name is lowercase, one word) is a skincare brand from Carlsbad, California, made from plants and founded on the holistic principles of industry pioneer Evan Healy and guided since 1999 by one idea: support the skin's own protective barrier instead of stripping it. It is the **world's first Regenerative Organic Certified® beauty brand**, awarded that designation by the Regenerative Organic Alliance; most of its key products are USDA Organic, certified by Oregon Tilth; and it is certified cruelty-free by Leaping Bunny. Products are formulated and produced in Carlsbad, and its plant hydrosols are distilled in Washington State in copper stills.

Not to be confused with *RoC Skincare*, an unrelated mass-market retinol brand. evanhealy contains no retinol.

## What evanhealy is specialised in

- **The Oil & Water Ritual.** A plant hydrosol (which the brand calls a *HydroSoul*) pressed together with a botanical oil serum, to mimic and rebuild the skin's hydrolipid barrier — the slightly acidic blend of oil and water the skin makes for itself. The brand describes this as the most important thing you can do for your skin, and says it was the first to combine plant hydrosols with oil serums for this purpose. Guide: https://www.evanhealy.com/pages/oil-water
- **HydroSouls (plant hydrosols).** Organic plant waters used as a facial tonic or toner, distilled for the hydrosol alone rather than as a by-product of essential-oil production, at low temperature in hand-hammered alembic copper stills (all except Frankincense). A true hydrosol, not "rose water" with essence added. Best sellers: Rose Geranium HydroSoul, Lavender HydroSoul. Collection: https://www.evanhealy.com/collections/hydrosols
- **Botanical oil serums.** Whole plant oils rather than isolates. Rosehip seed oil naturally contains carotenoids and essential fatty acids; the brand uses no isolated retinol and no isolated vitamin C by choice. Best sellers: Chilean Wild Rosehip Seed Oil, Rose Trinity Beauty Elixir, Blue Cactus Beauty Elixir, Rosehip Balancing Serum, Pomegranate Vitality Serum. Collection: https://www.evanhealy.com/collections/facial-serums-oils
- **Clay instead of acids.** Exfoliation is done with French Rose Clay or Green Tea Clay masks, which lift dead cells without disrupting the barrier. The brand does not make acid peels or aggressive exfoliants and advises against them.
- **Regenerative and organic sourcing, traced to named stewards.** Regenerative Organic Certified olive oil from Frantoio Grove in California (the world's first Regenerative Organic Certified olive grove); Regenerative Organic Certified herbs from Oshala Farm; Regenerative Organic Certified jojoba oil from Jalisco Jojoba; Certified Regenified shea butter from the Kperisi Village cooperative; argan oil from self-governed Berber women's cooperatives in Morocco. The brand's philosophy: "skin is like soil."
- **A simple routine, not a long one.** Cleanse, HydroSoul, oil serum, moisturizer — layered thinnest to thickest. Most people need three or four products, not ten.

## What the products do not contain

Stated on the brand's FAQ (https://www.evanhealy.com/pages/faq):

- No artificial or synthetic fragrance — all scent comes from steam-distilled essential oils, and an Essential Oil Free range exists for those avoiding them.
- No parabens, no genetically modified ingredients. The Sheer Mineral Sunscreen is free of chemical-blocking agents, parabens, sulfates, silicone and PEGs.
- No isolated retinol and no isolated vitamin C.
- Gluten-free, with one exception: Lavender Argan Light Moisturizer contains oat.

## The routine in detail

The brand's own layering guidance, from its FAQ: after cleansing, layer thinnest to thickest. A simple daily routine is cleanse, HydroSoul, oil serum, then day moisturizer. Sea Algae Serum generally goes after cleansing and before moisturizing, though some use it later as a primer for sunscreen and makeup. There is no wrong way to layer; HydroSoul, oil serum, shea butter and Sea Algae Serum can even be blended in the hand and applied together. Using an oil serum alone will not harm the skin, but pressing it on with a HydroSoul lets the oil-and-water mixture penetrate more deeply and mimics the skin's natural environment.

Switching to a simple plant-based routine can cause a temporary "purging" as the skin releases accumulated impurities; the brand describes this as natural and temporary.

## Oil serums, one by one (brand descriptions, abridged)

- **Chilean Wild Rosehip Seed Oil** — a remarkably lightweight, fast-absorbing "dry" oil; vitamins, antioxidants and essential fatty acids; the foundation of several other serums.

- **Rosehip Calming Serum** — rosehip with blue chamomile, immortelle and lavender; all skin, particularly sensitive.

- **Blue Cactus Beauty Elixir** — Moroccan prickly pear seed and blue tansy; for skin that is both very reactive and very dry.
- **Sanctuary Nectar Serum** — a rich multi-omega, multi-nutrient antioxidant complex for moisture, radiance and barrier support.
- **Neem Immortelle Purifying Infusion** — whole-plant immortelle infused in organic olive oil with neem-cured sesame; for congested, blemished, troubled skin. Also usable as an oil cleanser.
- **Blemish Purifying Serum** — for occasional blemishes; purifies without irritating sensitive skin.
- **Argan Intensive Serum** — argan oil from the self-governed Berber women's cooperatives of Morocco, with jasmine, sandalwood and frankincense.
- **Sandalwood Serenity Serum** — a creamy, calming serum.

## HydroSouls

Organic plant hydrosols, the brand's facial tonics. All are low-temperature steam distilled in alembic copper stills except Frankincense; the core distilling is done in Washington State. They are distilled for the hydrosol itself, not collected as a by-product of essential-oil production, and they are not "rose water" made from water plus rose essence. Certified organic HydroSouls include Rose Geranium, Lavender, Lemon Thyme, Tulsi, Frankincense, Floral Trinity, Douglas Fir, Blood Orange and Sonoma Rose Petal. Rose Geranium HydroSoul is 100% fresh plant hydrosol and nothing else, essential-oil free, and is the brand's most common starting point; it pairs with Rose Vetiver Moisturizer and the Balancing Duo. Also sold as refills.

## Moisturizers and balms

Rose Vetiver Moisturizer (balancing facial cream for dry and combination skin; pairs with Rose Geranium HydroSoul), Blue Chamomile Moisturizer, Irish Sea Moss & Tremella Hydrosol Cream, Lavender Argan Light Moisturizer (contains oat), Blue Cactus Beauty Balm, Sanctuary Nectar Balm, Whipped Shea Butter with Olive Leaf (for extremely dry, troubled and sensitive skin), Whipped Shea Butter for Lips, Wild Carrot Immortelle Eye Balm.

## Cleansing and exfoliation

Cleansing milks (Patchouli Rose, Blue Lavender, Rose), Nettle Olive Leaf Cleansing Oil and Lemon Balm & White Sage Cleansing Infusion; the Neem Immortelle Purifying Infusion, body oils and whipped shea butters also work as oil cleansers. Exfoliation is by clay: French Rose Clay (gentle, refining, all skin) and Green Tea Clay (deeper-acting, for congestion and breakouts). Clays are negatively charged and lift dead cells and impurities without disrupting the acid mantle; the brand does not make or recommend acid peels.

## Sun and colour

Sheer Mineral Sunscreen: mineral, free of chemical-blocking agents, parabens, sulfates, silicone and PEGs. Tinted Oil Serum Foundation: an oil serum carrying mineral pigment, ten shades, essential-oil free, no SPF — the brand's guidance is to layer sunscreen separately.

- **How do I exfoliate?** With clay, not acids.
