The foundation of good skin starts within, how we nourish our bodies sets the scene for the production of healthy skin cells. Our skin has an inherent intelligence, a natural ability to know how to function for health. What we put on the skin should support not disrupt these natural functions.

Ingredients are my obsession

It’s why I began to formulate my own skincare. I don’t believe we should be applying layers of surfactants, emulsifiers and preservatives to our skin, even ‘natural’ ones. These ingredients can cause dryness, itchiness and irritation, compromise the protective barrier layer and disrupt the beneficial skin microbiome.

I wanted to create skincare that nourished and supported the integrity of our skin and the beneficial skin microbiota for long term skin health. By separating my products into water or oil preparations (as opposed to a cream emulsification), the use of preservatives and emulsifiers is dramatically reduced, and in most cases eliminated entirely.

Whole Plant Nutritional Skincare

My fresh organic ingredients come from a handful of small growers in the UK or from suppliers who work directly with farms from across the globe. I am committed to ensuring that each ingredient is grown and harvested ethically in a way that honours the integrity of each particular plant’s unique nature.

I don't use off the shelf extracts or isolated compounds. While most skincare products are made in a matter of hours, I prepare whole plant ingredients using traditional techniques that take 28 days to slowly and carefully imbue my preparations with the full array of active constituents within the plants. Many of these constituents work synergistically, supporting the actions of each other, to produce potent skincare with unparalleled quality.

My Ingredient Library lists the entirety of the Lusan larder to a single ingredient has been missed. You’ll find information about the medicinal history of the plant, it’s active constituents and the benefits it has for the skin. You won't find any ingredient that sounds like it belongs in a chemistry lab! Just natural minimally processed whole food for the skin.
