Unique Technology
Supercritical Extraction
The enchantment of supercritical extraction is that it catches the most extreme wholesome and excellence advantages of the entire plant – truly a large number of critical mixes – and not simply detached concoction constituents. That, as well as supercritical concentrates per weight of herbs are between 100-250 times more thought, and in addition being at last more immaculate and 'entire', than conventional natural concentrates utilized as a part of most skincare today.
Where Science Meets Nature
When it comes to organic personal care, we believe that supercritical extraction is the way of the future. A groundbreaking technology which is not reliant on chemical solvents like so many other extraction processes, supercritical extraction works at low temperatures, using a compressed natural gas which washes through plants and herbs, collecting all of their key nutritive compounds.
Leading the Way
We are proud to be world leaders in the use of supercritical extraction technology. Even though it is an expensive process, we include a far wider range of supercritical extracts in our products than any other skincare or makeup company. In fact, we don’t just make use of one or two of these extracts across our ranges, we use over 20! This includes using up to 6 different supercritical extracts at one time in a number of our skincare products, ensuring that cutting edge therapeutic benefits are delivered to your skin.
