Glycerin is one of the most trusted and effective humectants in skincare, known for its ability to draw moisture into the skin and maintain hydration. At Solstice Skinfood, we use organic, palm-free Glycerin to provide deep hydration, skin softness, and gentle care for all skin types.

Jojoba Oil is one of nature’s most versatile and skin-friendly oils, prized for its remarkable similarity to the skin’s own sebum. At Solstice Skinfood, we use cold-pressed, pure Jojoba Oil to create luxurious, effective skincare that balances, hydrates, and protects the skin without clogging pores.

Coconut Oil is one of nature’s most beloved skin ingredients, known for its deep nourishment, protective properties, and versatile use. At Solstice Skinfood, we use organic, cold-pressed Coconut Oil to provide hydration, smoothness, and a natural glow to the skin.

At Solstice Skinfood, our Aloe Vera Powder is organic, high-concentration, and sustainably sourced, ensuring:

• Maximum retention of polysaccharides, vitamins, and antioxidants

• Gentle, non-irritating formulation for sensitive skin

• Stable and long-lasting potency for luxury skincare formulations

Premium Aloe Vera Powder 200x is more than hydration — it’s a soothing, restorative powerhouse for healthy, radiant skin.

Vitamin C has become the ingredient everyone talks about — and for good reason. It’s one of the most researched actives in skincare, celebrated for its ability to brighten dullness, soften lines, even out pigmentation, protect against environmental damage, and support firmer, healthier-looking skin.

But the truth is this:

Not all Vitamin C is created equal.
Not all Vitamin C is stable.
And not all Vitamin C is kind to the skin.

This is why so many people struggle with traditional L-ascorbic acid — the pure form of Vitamin C. It oxidises quickly, can be irritating (especially for sensitive or mature skin), and is notoriously difficult to formulate in a way that stays potent.

Enter Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate (SAP) — the form of Vitamin C that brings all the benefits without the drama.

Vitamin C is celebrated in skincare for its ability to brighten, protect, and rejuvenate. But as we’ve seen with traditional L-ascorbic acid, not all forms are created equal. Enter Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate (THD) — a stable, oil-soluble form of Vitamin C that combines the brightening and collagen-supporting power of Vitamin C with deep skin penetration and gentle tolerance.

Marula Oil has become a staple in luxury skincare for a reason: it’s a powerhouse of hydration, antioxidants, and essential fatty acids, with a lightweight texture that glides seamlessly into the skin. At Solstice Skinfood, we carefully source cold-pressed, organic Marula Oil to ensure every drop delivers maximum potency, efficacy, and sensorial delight.

Rosehip Oil is a gold standard in natural skincare, celebrated for its regenerative properties, antioxidant richness, and ability to restore skin’s natural radiance. At Solstice Skinfood, we source cold-pressed, organic Rosehip Oil to ensure every drop delivers maximum efficacy and luxurious sensory delight. Rosehip Oil stands out for its regenerative, brightening, and restorative properties, making it a must-have for any anti-aging or skin-repair routine.

Rose has been celebrated for millennia — a symbol of beauty, love, and spiritual harmony. Among its extracts, Rose Absolute stands apart for its intensely fragrant, concentrated profile, capturing both the therapeutic compounds and the delicate aroma of the petals. In skincare, Rose Absolute is treasured for its multi-layered benefits: hydrating, soothing, toning, and elevating the senses.

Frankincense has been treasured for thousands of years - often called the “king of oils” in ancient rituals. Used by royalty, healers, and spiritual practitioners, it was prized for its calming, protective, and restorative qualities. Today, it continues to be a cornerstone of luxury and natural skincare, delivering multi-layered benefits that soothe, rejuvenate, and protect the skin.

Discover Hyaluronic Acid - one of the most effective humectants in skincare — a molecule that draws water into the skin to keep it supple, hydrated and plump. But not all HA is the same. That’s why the Goddess Elixir is formulated using multiple molecular weights to hydrate at every level. Read on to discover more…
