Millet is an ancient grain that transcends continents, found in the staple diet of peoples across India, Africa, China, and Australia. Traditionally, it's been used as a recuperative food, particularly post-pregnancy and post-illness, synonymous with comfort, regeneration, and health.

Millet features prominently in Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine. In recent years, these climate-resilient grains have been regaining popularity due to their exceptional nutritional content. They previously lost prominence to grains like wheat, rice, and corn, not due to inferior quality, but due to research and funding priorities.

In our formulations, millet:

• Strengthens the skin barrier
• Improves complexion
• Rebuilds damaged skin
• Strengthens microbiota
• Improves skin hydration

Inulin is extracted from the chicory root, a plant native to Europe, commonly known as the plant of the blue daisy. Its roots have been described as a coffee substitute since ancient Egypt, a testament to millennia of human use and trust.

Inulin is a prebiotic that's clinically proven to restore the microbiota after disruption. In our formulations, it:

• Balances skin microbiome naturally
• Provides deep, lasting hydration
• Smooths skin texture
• Increases overall skin health
• Acts as nourishment for beneficial bacteria

This is food for the good bacteria that protect and sustain your skin's natural ecosystem.

Tazman Pepper (Mountain Pepper Berry)

Used as food in Indigenous Australian culture, this powerful botanical immediately soothes reactive skin and reduces redness. It protects and calms sensitive skin, honouring traditional knowledge that has sustained communities for tens of thousands of years.

We source ours ethically, ensuring traditional knowledge is respected and communities benefit. This isn't simply about using native ingredients, it's about honouring where they come from and the people who've understood their power for generations.

SUPPORTIVE INGREDIENTS 

Ceramide NP (in Lip Balm)

Ceramides are the mortar between your skin cells, the bricks that form your skin's protective barrier. Our plant-derived ceramide NP:

• Supports barrier function
• Improves elasticity
• Increases water retention
• Protects delicate lip skin from environmental stress

Glycerin (in Lip Balm)

A gentle humectant that:

• Relieves dryness
• Softens and conditions rough skin
• Reduces irritation
• Safe for all ages from toddler to centenarian

"Body biome" refers to the overall ecosystem of microorganisms, bacteria, fungi, and other microbes, that naturally reside on your skin and within your body. A balanced body biome helps protect against pathogens, controls inflammation, supports the skin barrier, and maintains overall skin health.

We support this balance using skincare that nurtures beneficial microorganisms through ingredients like prebiotics, probiotics, and postbiotics, alongside mindful lifestyle choices. These three work together to nourish beneficial bacteria, introduce live microorganisms, and repair the skin, collectively maintaining its natural balance and enhancing resilience.

This is skincare that respects the complex ecosystem your body has cultivated, supporting rather than disrupting its natural intelligence.
