Discovering Alcyoncea
Alcyoncea, named after the species of Venus sea fans they are extracted from, is inspired by the soft, intricate corals found in tropical and polar waters that have natural antibacterial properties and microbial peptides. By honing this plant’s natural power to heal and protect, we have formulated a serum that is enriched by the natural deep sea minerals it possesses.
Alcyoncea contains oceanic minerals such as calcium and magnesium and combines saltwater sand beads and calcite pearls to gently clear acne-prone skin. With immense powers to soothe inflammation and protect, this non-comedogenic formula ensures an application that feels airy and immediately relieving. It is also scented to transport you to a place of both serenity and natural disorder: the sea. With earthy, subtle hints of lavender to evoke tranquillity and immortelle flowers to keep you grounded, Alcyoncea has created an equilibrium between earth and water elements to bring you a balanced serum that invigorates your essence with freshness and clarity.
Discovering Silica
Silica forms the second half – and heart – of the Venus Sea Flora set and thrives when paired with its counterpart, Alcyoncea.
Silica is named after the organic compound found in the Venus flower baskets, and is extracted into salic acid that is known for its regenerative qualities and enhanced epidermal resilience. The Venus flower basket is otherworldly. A transparent, complex sea sponge with a hexagon structure belonging to an order of marine life called proferia. Venus sea baskets encapsulate love stories and are famed in Japan and often presented as gifts to lovers, making our Silica serum the highest offering for mature skin. Exploring the powers of stem cell technology, Silica provides strength and flexibility to the connective tissues of ageing skin. It also has a delicate and sweet aroma, with floral undertones of honeysuckle and camellia to lift your skin and senses whilst elevating your regime.
