I built every product in my Core Five on two powerhouse botanicals: Black Seed Oil and Frankincense.
I use Black Seed Oil for its potent compound, Thymoquinone - a scientific marvel for skin health that calms inflammation and fights oxidative stress. I pair this with Frankincense across the entire range to rejuvenate, firm the skin and promote self-regulation.
For those seeking the results of Retinol but without the irritation, I have infused Bakuchiol into my Intensive Night Cream, All Around Eyes Elixir, and Super Natural Oil - my 'retinol alternative' trio for cellular renewal and skin firming action.
Build my bundleI'm Shona Munro, the Alchemist and Formulator of Skin Elixir™.
For 10 years, I've been formulating by hand with Thymoquinone - a potent compound found in Black Seed Oil. Not in a generic lab. Not in theory. But in my hands, in my micro-batches, and on real skin, and on real skin. This hands-on approach is why my customers have remained loyal for 10 years.
I know it works because I've seen it heal rosacea, calm inflammation, and transform skin that nothing else could touch.
This expertise in self-regulation skincare has led to an invitation to speak as a Guest Speaker at the University of Nottingham Dermatology Society on Saturday January 31st.
Meet the streamlined collection that has earned a decade of loyalty and 460+ five-star reviews. These Thymoquinone-rich products work in synergy for self-regulation.
The Core Five are available exclusively in bundles - choose a pre-set ritual or build your own.
Life moves fast. Notifications, deadlines, overwhelm. Your body holds the stress and your skin shows it.
But what if your skincare ritual could do more than nourish your skin? What if it could regulate your nervous system too?
Introducing ROOTED
Not affirmations. Instructions.
ROOTED is a portable toolkit of 10 evidence-based self-regulation practices designed to help you move from overwhelm to calm in real time.
R – Regulation
O – Observation
O – Openness
T – Transformation
E – Embodiment
D – Devotion
Each card includes a specific practice with clear instructions: 4-7-8 breath, grounding technique, progressive relaxation, body scans, sensory anchoring.
Pair them with your skincare ritual:
Apply your Magnificent Night Oil. Practice the 4-7-8 breath while it absorbs. Let the scent of vetiver and sandalwood become your anchor for calm—anytime, anywhere.

In 2016, I founded Skin Elixir™ in Nottingham. A decade later, my mission remains the same: authentic, small-batch skincare that respects your skin and your nervous system. I am the alchemist behind every formula, ensuring quality and efficacy.
I am honored to be a guest speaker at the University of Nottingham Dermatology Society Conference next week. After 10 years of formulating with Black Seed Oil, I’ve seen firsthand the skin-transforming power of its star ingredient, Thymoquinone. I’ll be talking about my path as a founder-maker and how we can support skin health through the lens of self-regulation and plant-driven wisdom.
I don't believe in fleeting trends. My products are built on genuine experience and backed by tangible results found in over 460 five-star reviews. The story behind my unique approach is a decade in the making.
"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."
