Mandarin Fruit Juice Waste

8kg of fruit waste = 1 litre of ingredients

We take waste water used from squeezing fresh, organic Mediterranean mandarins meaning we don't use any "new" water in our products. This nutrient-dense water is full of antioxidants for your skin to drink in hydration leaving it healthy, happy and oh so glowy.

This planet-loving alternative gets a big thumbs up from us and an even bigger thumbs up from Mother Nature.

  • Organic mandarins are picked, pressed and squeezed via a cold press process
  • The juice is then reduced, separating the antioxidant-rich water away from the orange concentrate, which will go on to make juice and squash
  • The water is then filtered and used instead of any new water in our juicy products

Olive Oil Waste

100kg of Olives = 2kg of ingredients

We use by-products from the organic Italian olive oil industry (the OG’s of OO) that would otherwise go to waste, to create our super smooth moisturiser.

Olives are notoriously packed with beneficial properties and have been used on the skin for thousands of years to hydrate and enhance the complexion. Our unique skincare blend includes olive pomace to help your skin fully absorb our products for bright, healthy, beautiful skin all day long.

  • Our glorious skin-softening properties come from the industry of Italian olive oil production
  • To make olive oil, our manufacturers take freshly harvested olives and squash them in a press
  • On one side of the press, you’re left with the golden oil and on the other, you’re left with a cake of olive leftovers – this is called a pomace
  • Our partners then take the waste pomace which would otherwise be discarded
  • They process it using high-tech green chemistry to obtain a nourishing liquid that’s very similar to the texture of the skin, and this is what goes in our products

Tomato Ketchup Waste 

We use the skins from Italian tomatoes, discarded from the ketchup and tomato sauce industries, and turn them into a skin superfood that’s packed full of antioxidants.

These antioxidants protect the skin from free radicals (generated by UV rays, pollution, and other environmental toxins) and can work to brighten the complexion, leaving your skin feeling nourished, soothed and radiant.

  • We take juicy tomato skins leftover from the tomato industry
  • The tomato skins go to our partners who use friendly microorganisms (like the ones you use to make bread or beer) to break down the vegetal tissue of the tomato skin, releasing all the antioxidant-rich goodness that was locked inside
  • After this process is completed, we're left with a magical lycopene-filled liquid that we use in our products

Breakfast Oats 

We take the stalks leftover from the organic Italian breakfast oat industry and ferment it before it goes into our skin-loving products. 

This unique fermentation process increases the natural antioxidant and amino acid content of the oat plant, helping to reduce inflammation and balance the skin’s microbiota. The result is an ingredient that actively works to reduce breakouts, balance, hydrate and prevent dry skin and is a magical combo for sensitive and eczema-prone skin.

Skin is left feeling calm, restored and unbelievably soft.

  • Our oats undergo a hyperfermentation process to unlock their amazing benefits
  • First, an enzymatic treatment releases their natural nutrients and breaks down complex sugars into simpler forms, making them easier to ferment and boosting their nutritional profile.
  • Then, natural yeast ferments the oat extract, producing a rich blend of active ingredients packed with skin-balancing postbiotics—think of it as a probiotic for your skin
