THE MYOXINOL™ EFFECT
Myoxinol™ not only relaxes muscle contractions but also offers antioxidant protection, helping to delay mechanical and biological ageing, an advantage over traditional neurotoxins.
SHOP THE MYOXINOL™ COLLECTION
Myoxinol, a bio-peptide extracted from Hibiscus Seeds, is the reason why the Italian-made Irene Forte Prickly Pear Face Cream works so well for wrinkles. The ingredient works in a similar manner as injectables by targeting deep-set forehead wrinkles and expression lines that pop up as we age.
Myoxinol™
A neuropeptide derived from Hibiscus Seeds that targets mechanical wrinkle-formation providing a natural alternative to injectable treatments, as well as targeting biological signs of ageing.
Prickly Pear Polysaccharides
Polysaccharides which work to increase the skin’s antioxidant capacity, help reduce inflammation, moisturise the skin and prevent skin irritation.
Hyaluronic Acid
A potent humectant found naturally within the skin, and able to bind up to 1000 times its weight in water, which enhances moisture retention and skin hydration.
Aloe Leaf Juice
A nutrient-rich juice from the succulent heart of the Aloe Leaf that helps deeply hydrate, while calming and soothing the skin.
Omega-Rich Oils (3, 6 & 9)
Essential Fatty Acids, including Sweet Almond Oil and Olive Oil, strengthen the skin barrier function, nourish and protect the skin.
Olive Oil Fractions
A potent antioxidant fraction, rich in Phytosterol and Squalene, that helps protect against free radical damage and glycation. It prevents moisture loss and helps restore skin suppleness.
Rice Fractions
A nutrient-rich extract isolated from Rice Bran Oil, packed with antioxidants like Ferulic Acids and Sterols, which help protect the skin against free radical damage and help prevent the visible signs of ageing.

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.
“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.”
