Description
This tetra-acid mask works to purify and refresh the skin with gentle exfoliation from a triple Alpha Hydroxy Acid Complex drawn from Italian Grapes, Apples and Lemons, alongside clarifying Azelaic Acid.

The AHA Complex is blended with Azelaic Acid to gently, yet effectively, exfoliate, clarify and help balance excess oils. Accompanied by soothing and replenishing Jojoba Oil, Rosemary and Lavender Waters, alongside Upcycled Red Grape Skin and Wheat Bran, which excel in their anti-aging functions, this targeted-action face mask reveals a brighter, more even skin tone without compromising on kindness to skin.

Suitable for all skin types, particularly combination, oily, dull or tired skin, and dermatologically proven safe for sensitive skin.

THE QUADRUPLE-ACID EFFECT

The quadruple-blend of Italian Alpha Hydroxy Acids gently exfoliates and nourishes the skin. They efficiently renew the skin, protecting Collagen and stimulating Fibroblasts to produce new fibrils. Meanwhile, the Azelaic Acid works to balance, clarify and brighten the skin.

A CIRCULAR ECONOMY

UPCYCLED INGREDIENTS

We have integrated zero-waste upcycled ingredients, made from nutrient-rich plant-based leftovers, in a number of products. In doing so, we’re diverting leftovers from landfill.

Our Upcycled Wheat Bran comes from the Po River Valley in Northern Italy. It acts on wrinkles and promotes skin elasticity. Our Upcycled Red Grape Skin comes from the Emilia-Romagna region in Italy, and has strong antioxidant activity and helps the skin remain toned and elastic.

Orchards under the sun are the inspiration for this mask, both respectful and sustainable, with a trio of Italian grapes, apple and lemon transformed into a tetra-acid complex.

    Our Ingredients

    We focus on locally sourced Mediterranean ingredients, many of which come from our Organic Farm in Sicily. Each ingredient must smell and feel amazing but more importantly have clear benefits in use, without any compromise in skin kindness.

“Natural skincare is a great philosophy, made better by scientific insight.”

“Through my time spent working with spas, I knew that I wanted to create experiential skincare. I noticed that many natural brands were using ‘essential oils’ to fragrance their products, and these often have unpredictable allergenic effects. The attempts by some natural brands to avoid this issue by being unperfumed didn’t make sense as fragrance is a key component of the spa experience, and is vital in stimulating emotions. So, I teamed up with Dr. Francesca Ferri to create lab-formulated, allergen-screened fragrances, ensuring our products combine outstanding fragrance with outstandingly low allergenic potential.”
