What is Earth Alchemy Co’s approach to skincare?

Earth Alchemy Co formulates skincare based on how skin functions, not who it belongs to. All human skin shares the same fundamental needs: a healthy skin barrier, balanced hydration, lipid support, and protection from environmental stressors.

Our approach combines ingredient science, botanical knowledge, and African-sourced plant oils and extracts to create gentle, effective skincare suitable for daily use.

What does “ingredient science” mean?

Ingredient science refers to selecting botanicals and naturally derived ingredients with well-established skin benefits—such as hydration, soothing, antioxidant protection, and barrier support—and formulating them at skin-compatible concentrations.

Rather than relying on aggressive or trend-driven actives, Earth Alchemy Co prioritizes comfort, consistency, and long-term skin health.

Are Earth Alchemy Co products science-backed?

Some Earth Alchemy Co formulations include clinically studied bioactive ingredients, while others rely on established botanical ingredient science.

Our finishing moisturizer contains a science-backed bioactive complex designed to support skin firmness, elasticity, and resilience. Cleansers, oils, and mists focus on barrier-safe botanical performance for everyday use.

Why does Earth Alchemy Co avoid aggressive actives?

Gentler formulations help maintain skin balance and protect the skin barrier. This approach reduces irritation, supports sensitive and reactive skin, and promotes long-term skin health rather than short-term cosmetic effects.

Are Earth Alchemy Co products natural?

Yes. Earth Alchemy Co products are formulated using plant-based botanicals and naturally derived ingredients selected for skin compatibility and functional performance.

Are Earth Alchemy Co products suitable for sensitive skin?

Yes. Our formulations prioritize barrier support and minimize irritation, making them suitable for sensitive and reactive skin types. Patch testing is always recommended.

Do your cleansers contain harsh surfactants?

No. Earth Alchemy Co cleansers use mild, plant-derived surfactants that cleanse effectively without stripping the skin or increasing transepidermal water loss (TEWL).

Do Earth Alchemy Co products contain synthetic fragrance?

Any aromatic components used are carefully selected to align with our gentle, skin-first formulation philosophy and skin compatibility standards.

Why is the skin barrier important?

The skin barrier protects against environmental stressors and prevents moisture loss. When compromised, it can lead to dryness, irritation, and increased sensitivity.

How do Earth Alchemy Co products support skin barrier health?

Earth Alchemy Co formulations support barrier health through gentle cleansing systems, botanical lipids, hydration-supporting ingredients, and antioxidant-rich plant extracts that help maintain skin balance and resilience.

Can Earth Alchemy Co products help with dryness and dehydration?

Yes. By supporting moisture retention and avoiding unnecessary barrier disruption, Earth Alchemy Co products help improve hydration and overall skin comfort.

Are Earth Alchemy Co products suitable for daily use?

Yes. All Earth Alchemy Co products are designed for regular, everyday use as part of a simple skincare routine.

Can Earth Alchemy Co products be used together?

Yes. Earth Alchemy Co products are formulated to work together and can be layered based on individual skin needs.

Are Earth Alchemy Co products suitable for all genders?

Yes. Earth Alchemy Co skincare is unisex and suitable for all genders.

Are Earth Alchemy Co products suitable for all skin types?

Yes. Our formulations are designed to support dry, oily, combination, sensitive, and mature skin types.

Do Earth Alchemy Co products focus on long-term skin health?

Yes. Earth Alchemy Co prioritizes hydration, skin barrier balance, and skin resilience over short-term cosmetic results.
