Considered skincare
As we age, our skin becomes more delicate and prone to damage from factors such as pollution, UV rays, and stress.
While a healthy lifestyle can help maintain youthful-looking skin, sometimes it’s not enough.
The best defence is effective natural skincare. One brand to add to your armoury is Lucia Skincare. Lucia was founded by Erith Lucia Boyd, a winemaker and horticulturist passionate about skincare and the effects of ingredients on well-being and the environment.
Her journey began when she was looking for skincare products for her daughter. After reading and researching the list of ingredients of the products on offer, she grew concerned about what was being used. Erith used her chemistry knowledge to formulate the Lucia range.
What sets Lucia Skincare apart is its commitment to using high-quality organic and natural ingredients. The brand takes pride in using botanicals rich in essential fatty acids, phenols, antioxidants, fermentations, vitamins, and minerals. All the products are made in-house and delivered fresh to the consumer, using the best possible botanical ingredients that are Eco-Cert approved and organic where possible.
One of the brand’s standout products is the Rejuvenating Serum, a wonder serum that absorbs quickly and is formulated to boost skin health. A special blend of antioxidant-rich oils of rosehip, camellia, and pomegranate, along with botanical extracts of Gotu Kola and green tea, make up this serum specifically formulated for mature skin.
Another popular product is the Vitamin C Serum, which contains a 15 per cent L-ascorbic acid and 10 per cent hyaluronic acid, as well as botanical antioxidants and Vitamin E. This custom blend helps with healthy skin, collagen production, skin texture, and hydration. Vitamin C serums must be made fresh and used within two to three months as L-ascorbic acid oxidises readily. Lucia Vitamin C Serum is made to order and dispensed in a pump bottle to reduce exposure to oxygen.
Lucia Skincare is also committed to sustainability. The brand uses eco-friendly packaging and sources its ingredients ethically, ensuring that its products have minimal environmental impact. A circular recycling initiative is where customers collect the cobalt blue glass jars and bottles and return them for sterilisation and re-use.
