Yes, our products are truly natural, right down to the preservatives we use. Plus, we use organic ingredients approved and certified by Ecocert and Cosmos wherever possible.

Our masks, SOLE and CHUN, do contain ethylhexyglycerin, a broad-spectrum preservative enhancer. We use this ingredient because there’s a risk that these products will get contaminated if you use your fingers or a dirty brush to apply them. While ethylhexyglycerin is derived from vegetable glycerine, it’s classified as semi-natural due to chemical processing.

Yes, all our products are Vegan and Gluten-free. We do not test on animals. We love animals, and we are a cruelty-free brand. 

Our products typically have a shelf life of 18 to 24 months when unopened. However, once opened, they will last up to 9 months. To keep your products fresh for as long as possible, please keep them out of direct sunlight, at room temperature or below 24°C, and store them at average humidity..

We source our ingredients worldwide (Thailand, New Zealand, Australia, India, Italy, France, Spain, UK, Morocco, Somaliland, Chile, Brazil, USA). We try, however, to minimise our carbon footprint by purchasing as much as we can locally. Our products are made in an Ecocert-certified production facility, in Thailand, under the direct supervision of our founder and formulator, Daniela.

Most definitively. We avoid using any endangered plants, and we don’t purchase any botanicals or active ingredients from unethical suppliers.

We follow EU product safety and GMP (good manufacturing practices) standards, and we fully disclose all ingredients used in our formulations. We want you to know what you’re putting on your skin – and feel good about it.

We use transparent glass containers that can easily be recycled or reused anywhere in the world. Only the closures and lids are made of PET, the most commonly recycled and recyclable plastic. As a safeguard for the purity and efficacy of our products, which contain water and delicate ingredients that require care when stored, PET closures are the best option available on the market right now. We are working on replacing PET with eco-plastic as soon as possible. Check out our recycling guidelines Recycling Native Essentials Packaging.

Our products are 100% natural. We use safe ingredients, and we use actives and essential oils in low concentrations that are suitable for use during pregnancy. Every pregnancy is unique; however, as a general rule, we recommend limiting your use of aromatic skincare when pregnant.

If you choose to use one of our face oils (AZUR, SHAANT, KORU) when breastfeeding, please do so away from feeding time. Some aromas, especially the base notes of SHAANT, can linger for hours, and infants shouldn’t inhale essential oils, especially in the first 3 to 4 months of life.

Start by cleansing your face, even just with water. Spritz LĪLĀ to refresh and hydrate your skin. Apply lighter and water-based products first (ÏIS, NAÃ), a light moisturiser (HAE) followed by one of our oils (AZUR, SHAANT, KORU). To improve your skin care product penetration and skin texture, exfoliate with SOLE and mask with CHUN once a week.  Don’t forget to SPF if you go out in the sun.
