Pillars of Slow Beauty:
Wellbeing
Focus on the experience of the products. Being waterless, our balms have a unique texture that not only smells incredible, but melts into the skin to give a nourished, velvety feel. Make time and space to enjoy the products you apply for a self care routine to benefit your whole self.

Quality over quantity
Sometimes less is more. Using a minimal amount of high quality products that work with your skin will not only save you money, but save nature’s precious resources as there are less un-loved pots and bottles sat in drawers. Choose products that you are excited to use every day, streamline your routine and your skin will thank you for it.
Products with a conscience
95% of cosmetic packaging is thrown away. (1) We can take responsibility for the waste we bring into our homes by purchasing recycled and recyclable packaged products where possible and carefully disposing of them. Furthermore, by choosing organic skincare products we can support bio-diversity in our lands and oceans.
Did you know:
• There are around 75% more wild bees on organic farms and on average, plant, insect and bird life is 50% more abundant than on non-organic farms. (2)
Natural, cruelty free skincare is easy to find nowadays, be deliberate in your choices when looking for ethical and sustainable skincare.
Artisanal Production
Focusing on small batch productions, we work raw materials as little as possible out of respect for their nature and to optimise their natural integrity and vital force. Each formula is perfected for as long as it takes before combining precious organic oils and botanicals. Tapping into ancient and modern alchemic practices, the ingredients are bathed in sunlight and moonlight for a full lunar cycle before being transformed into the final jars and bottles. These processes require careful skill and thoughtful hands to create truly artisanal skincare products.
Spotlight ingredient: Jojoba oil - highly nourishing packed with Vitamins A & E and fatty acids. Features in Deep Moisture Balm etc.
Tradition not Trends
Generations of herbalist and alchemists have fed into the essential research that is behind every Inlight products. We don’t follow trending ingredients or chase exaggerated claims. Nature is the primary inspiration for us, enhanced by pure science, ancient alchemy and green chemistry. No trend can ever compete with tradition.
Intuition
We all take influence from content creators, celebrities and even friends and family but no-one knows your skin as well as you do. Every scar, line, freckle and dimples traces the story of you. When you select a product, listen to your intuition above all else.
