Multi award-winning formulas. Natural botanicals and bakuchiol for visible results. Beautiful scents that anchor you in the present and become part of your daily self-regulation ritual.
After nearly ten years creating award-winning natural skincare trusted by thousands, backed by 450+ five-star reviews, and recognised by the Society of Dermatologists at Nottingham University - I realised something.
The skincare worked. My formulas delivered visible results. But the daily ritual of applying skincare - the warmth, the scent, the mindful touch - was already a form of self-regulation. What if I could help people build on that habit?
When you warm the oil between your palms, breathe in the scent of frankincense or vetiver, and massage it mindfully into your skin you're not just nourishing your face. You're creating a moment of presence.
A sensory anchor.
A signal to your nervous system that it's safe to pause.
That's not an accident. That's self-regulation.
What if your skincare routine could do more?
What if those few moments of calm could become a complete practice? What if you had practical tools to regulate your nervous system - not just when you're doing your skincare, but whenever life gets overwhelming?
That's why I created ROOTED.
"My skin has never looked better—glowing and so soft!"
"I love the natural ingredients and how gentle it is on my sensitive skin."
"The ritual of applying it calms me as much as it helps my skin."
"Foundation-free and confident—finally!"
"It's like a spa moment in my own bathroom."
"My fine lines have visibly reduced, and my skin feels plumper."

"I was introduced to Skin Elixir by a very good friend about 18 months ago. Having gone through every skin fad going I wanted something that made me feel happy in my skin. I've found it. Whilst caring for my skin, the products give me confidence to go make up free and I can feel the nourishment my skin is getting all day long. The night oil has helped me sleep better and I feel more confident now I'm heading towards 50 than I have ever felt."
Philippa Raynor, Darlington
"Having struggled for a couple of years with dry, red patches around my chin and mouth and despite having taken care of my skin all my life and also using decent skincare I was at the end of my tether and thought I was just going to have to put up with it. I replaced my day cream and night cream with Frankincense and May Chang Moisturiser and started using the Magnificent Night Oil. I saw a difference in the smoothness of my skin by the next morning and within a week the dry, redness had gone.
My skin was soft smooth and better than it had ever been. Now several months into using Skin Elixir I love the skin I'm in and I've found my "forever" skincare."
Anne Davis, Derbyshire
"Before finding Skin Elixir I often had a mixture of dry and oily skin on my face, it was very hard to manage and I had red flaky patches that even prescribed creams weren't shifting. Since using this magical cream my skin has been so much clearer and I feel much more confident because of it. I'd not hesitate to recommend this wonder cream to anyone!"
Hannah Hubblesday, Nottinghamshire
"I've always been self conscious about my problematic skin and spent so much over the years on overpriced toxic lotions and potions to no avail. I love that these products are made consciously, honestly and from a place of passion and are genuinely good for your skin. I'm currently on my third bottle of the night oil and cannot rate it enough. It smells amazing and doesn't feel greasy at all. I wake up with a lovely glow every morning and have definitely noticed an overall clearer complexion since using it."
Katerina Kyrris, Nottingham
"My skin has been transformed since using Skin Elixir..I don't get dry itchy skin anymore..and my skin feels soft & smooth. It also has a glow that it hasn't had before using the skin care. It's the only thing I'll put on my face now."
April McCabe, Nottinghamshire
"Omg your Skin Elixir has totally changed my life!!! It was recommended to me by family & I've not been using it for long but the difference it has made to my skin is amazing"
Ava Coleman, Nottingham

Read the Complete Product Usage GuideMore than skincare—a philosophy rooted in nature, intention, and nervous system care.
Bakuchiol instead of retinol. Black seed oil, rosehip, moringa, pomegranate. No synthetic fragrance, no fillers, no compromise.
Made in small batches weekly in Nottingham. Every bottle is made by hand, with care, by someone who believes skincare should be helpful—not performative.
Beautiful skin is the result. But the ritual—the scent, the touch, the few moments of presence—that's the real transformation.
Three simple steps to transform your skincare into a self-regulation practice.
Select a product that speaks to what you need. Grounding? Pause? Release? Each Skin Elixir product is designed as a sensory anchor—a signal to your nervous system that it's time to regulate.
Slow down. Feel the texture, breathe in the scent, notice the sensation on your skin. This isn't multitasking—it's a moment of full attention. Your nervous system is listening.
With consistent practice, your body learns. The scent becomes a cue. The ritual becomes a refuge. What started as skincare becomes a tool for self-regulation you can access anytime.
