PSYCHODERMATOLOGY

SKIN DOESN'T EXIST IN ISOLATION

Your skin and your emotional world are more closely connected than they might appear.

Psychodermatology explores the relationship between the mind and the skin — including the ways in which psychological stress and emotional wellbeing can influence how the skin looks, feels and behaves.

It reflects something beautifully simple:

We don't experience skincare through our skin alone.

We experience its texture. Its aroma. The ritual of applying it. The moment it creates in our day.

At AVIXIA, we believe all of these things matter.

THE SKIN × SENSES CONNECTION

The skin and nervous system share an extraordinarily close biological relationship, beginning during our earliest development.

Modern research continues to explore these connections, while the emerging field of neurocosmetics is examining how cosmetic ingredients and sensory experiences may interact with pathways involved in skin sensation and wellbeing.

For AVIXIA, this creates an intriguing space between botanical science, skincare and sensory experience.

Rather than formulating only for what a product does, we also consider what it feels like to use.

BOTANICALS WITH ANOTHER DIMENSION

Aromatic plants have been part of human rituals for thousands of years.

Rose. Lavender. Helichrysum. Myrrh. Citrus. Geranium.

Their value extends beyond simply making something smell beautiful.

When we formulate with essential oils and aromatic botanical extracts, we consider their cosmetic properties alongside their aroma and the sensory character they bring to the finished product.

Some are bright and uplifting.

Some feel grounding.

Others create a sense of softness, warmth or calm.

Together with nourishing plant oils, botanical extracts and carefully selected functional ingredients, they allow us to create skincare that engages more than one sense.

WHERE SCIENCE MEETS RITUAL

There is another important part of this story.

The ritual itself.

Taking a few moments to cleanse your skin, breathe in an aroma, massage in a serum or apply a balm creates a pause in the day.

We don't treat that experience as incidental to the product.

We design for it.

Texture, aroma, touch and the way a formulation feels as it meets the skin are all part of the AVIXIA approach.

Skincare becomes something you experience, not simply something you apply.

ENHANCED BY B11 MICRO-TECHNOLOGY

Our botanical philosophy is combined with B11 Micro-Technology, AVIXIA's proprietary processing and delivery technology.

B11 Micro-Technology enables us to work differently with selected botanical and mineral ingredients, incorporating them into carefully considered formulations at precisely controlled concentrations.

This gives us another tool with which to bring together nature, formulation science and sensory experience.

Not more for the sake of more.

The right ingredients. Thoughtfully selected. Intelligently formulated.

BEAUTY YOU CAN FEEL

Psychodermatology reminds us that skin is part of something much bigger.

AVIXIA takes that idea into the formulation room.

We consider the skin.
We consider the senses.
We consider the ritual.
And we consider how the experience of a product makes you feel.

Because beautiful skincare should do more than sit beautifully on a shelf.

It should be beautiful to experience.
