01 Ecosystem · Cornwall

A temperate coast, shaped by salt.

Granite · gorse · Atlantic spray

Cornwall sits where the Atlantic meets soft granite cliffs. A mild, maritime climate layered with persistent wind, airborne salt and long, diffused daylight. We start by reading the place, not the skin.

02 Pressure · Cornwall

Wind, salt, and shifting light.

Water loss · mineral deposit

Constant exposure draws moisture out and leaves mineral residue behind. Skin here contends less with heat than with relentless abrasion, dilution and a barrier that is slowly worn thin.

03 Adaptation · Cornwall

Protective coatings, mineral retention.

Waxy cuticles · trace mineral uptake

Coastal plants answer the same pressures skin does. Sea kale, samphire and rock sedum hold onto moisture with waxy coatings and quietly gather the minerals the wind delivers. We borrow that logic.

Plant inspirations
04 Function · Cornwall

Barrier balance and resilience.

Lipid repair · mineral replenishment

The formula has one job: rebuild what the coast takes. Lipid-rich botanicals restore the barrier. Trace minerals replenish what salt strips. The result is skin that meets the elements, not retreats from them.
