Autumn Renewal Ritual
REPAIR • RESTORE • TRANSITION
Summer takes from skin quietly - the UV load, the salt, the heat. Autumn is when it asks to be replenished. This ritual was built for the transition: to clear what summer left behind, restore what the barrier needs, and help your skin settle into the cooler months with the nourishment it's been asking for.
The Ritual
Cleanse → Hydrate → Nourish → Protect + Seal
Begin with our Cleansing Oil (100mL), a blend of whole plant and cold pressed oils that melt away makeup, sunscreen, and pollution. Calendula, Rose, Hibiscus and Elderflower soothe inflammation and bring balance to the skin’s natural barrier, leaving it supple and calm.
Next mist the skin generously with Meadowsweet + Neroli Hydrating Elixir (100mL), a botanical mist that deeply hydrates, supports the acid mantle and preps the skin. In house hydrosols offer immediate hydration, while Marshmallow root and Licorice draw in moisture from the atmosphere, softening and plumping the skin. Chamomile and Yarrow ease redness and irritation and harmoniously balance oil production.
Follow with our Raspberry + Tulsi Serum (30mL), a vibrant infusion of antioxidant-rich oils and nutrient-dense herbs. Cold-pressed Raspberry Seed Oil delivers natural vitamin E and gentle UV support, while Tulsi, offers stressed skin relief and strengthens the skin barrier. Light and silky, this serum restores vitality without weight.
Seal in moisture and protect with Sanctuary Repair Balm (50mL), a deeply reparative blend with whole Calendula flowers, wildcrafted Comfrey, local Gotu Kola and restorative butters that seal the ritual in and let the skin's own repair do its quiet work.
Together, these preparations invite you into ritual. A daily return to presence, slowness, and care. Massage each offering gently into the skin and neck, paying attention to areas of congestion and dryness. As the season shifts our barrier needs lipid support and nourishment.
Our Whole Plant skincare is thoughtfully formulated for all skin types, especially those that are sensitive, reactive, or in need of extra gentle care. This bundle is free of essentials which can irritate some skin types.
- Hydrates and nourishes sensitive, stressed and reactive skin
- Supports a healthy microbiome with our organically grown plant varieties
- Prepares the skin for the winter seasonal elements such as indoor heating and wind.
Cleanse: Massage deeply into dry skin, moving slowly following the natural rhythm of your lymphatic system. Add warm water to emulsify the oil and finally wipe the skin gently with a damp cotton cloth.
Hydrate: Spritz the skin generously with our Meadowsweet + Neroli Hydrating Elixir.
Nourish: Follow with 4 - 5 drops of our Raspberry + Tulsi Serum, press deep into the skin, not forgetting the neck and chest.
Protect + Seal: Apply a 1/4 pea size amount of our Sanctuary Barrier Balm, alternating between pressing and massaging deeply into the face, neck and chest. If your skin is on the oilier side - use this balm for night time nourishment only.
We use only natural butters, oils and waxes – these ingredients are nourishing and gentle for the skin. Still, our creams may melt at higher temperatures, so please store them in a cool place (below 28°C) to maintain their creamy consistency and refrigerate if required.
Please discontinue if you develop any irritation. Use within 12 months of opening.
