The Core Five: Built on Foundational Thymoquinone Alchemy

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.

Rooted in Experience, Proven by Trust

I'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.

The Original. The Independent. The Only.

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.
