Oils, balms & slow rituals
The quiet art of slow skin.
Cold-pressed face oils, balms and cleansers, made in small batches in Lisbon for skin that’s happiest when you take your time.
Nº 01 — Our belief
We make fewer things, more carefully. Oils pressed in small batches, balms poured by hand and formulas short enough to read in one breath. Skin doesn’t need more. It needs time.
Marta Oliveira, founder
Nº 02 — The autumn edit
Small batch, well made.
Nº 03 — What goes in
Three plants we always come back to.
01
Rosa canina
Rosehip
Cold-pressed from Portuguese hips. Rich in vitamin A and linoleic acid to soften and even out tired skin.
02
Calendula officinalis
Calendula
Sun-dried petals steeped in oil for six weeks. Calms redness and comforts skin that’s easily upset.
03
Olea europaea
Olive squalane
A weightless lipid that mirrors skin’s own. Seals in moisture without ever feeling heavy.
Nº 04 — The evening ritual
Four steps, ten slow minutes.
01
Cleanse
Massage the cleansing oil into dry skin, then rinse with warm water.
02
Treat
Press a few drops of serum into damp skin while it’s still warm.
03
Seal
Warm three drops of oil between your palms and press, don’t rub.
04
Rest
Finish with balm on lips, cuticles and anywhere that feels dry.
Nº 05 — Kind words
“I’ve stopped buying ten different things. Three drops of the Night Oil and my skin finally looks like mine again.”
