This formula supports the skin’s microbiome with Picea Mariana Bark and Tasmanian Kelp extracts, Cotton and Pomegranate Callus Cultures, while Silky Oil Grass and Vitamin C provide antioxidant protection to help defend and strengthen the skin.
Vitamin C brightens, protects, and supports collagen production. This powerful antioxidant helps even skin tone, improve texture, and defend against environmental stress for a smoother, more radiant skin.
Powered by Cotton and Pomegranate Extracts, this formula helps fortify the skin's microbiome, the first line of defense against external stressors. Using Photobiome™ technology, this optimised blend supports the skin's natural microbial balance, helping to strengthen its protective barrier. By maintaining a healthy microbiome, it promotes skin resilience, balance and overall vitality.
High in polysaccharides, alginic acid, and polyphenols, Tasmanian Kelp Extract hydrates deeply, soothes irritation, and strengthens the skin barrier to improve resilience.

al.ive skin combines Australian native botanicals with proven active ingredients in formulations created by leading natural chemists. Unlike overwhelming ten-step routines, the collection features just seven essential products that work together effortlessly. Each product is suitable for all skin types, 100% palm oil-free, vegan and cruelty-free. The refillable vessels and signature tray systems enhance bathroom aesthetics while reducing waste, reflecting the founders' interior design expertise.
Yes, the entire al.ive skin collection is vegan and cruelty-free. Products contain no animal-derived ingredients and are never tested on animals. The formulations are also 100% palm oil-free, a rare achievement in skincare that protects ecosystems and wildlife while delivering clean, effective results. This commitment to conscious luxury extends across the entire al.ive body range.
al.ive skincare products are formulated to suit all skin types, dry, oily and combination. The naturally derived formulations are gentle enough for sensitive skin yet effective enough to deliver visible results. The collection's modular approach allows you to customise your routine based on your skin's specific needs, using products together or individually as required to suit your skin and its needs.
al.ive skin harnesses Australian native botanicals including River Mint Extract (powerful antioxidants), Flannel Flower Extract (barrier support), Tasmanian Pepper Berry (soothing), Kangaroo Paw (elasticity), Wild Rosella (radiance), and Lilli Pilli (environmental protection). These ingredients are combined with proven actives like hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, and vitamin C for optimal results.
Start with cleanser morning and night, add exfoliant 2-3 times weekly, apply serum based on your needs (When I Wake, Daily Defence Serum for daytime protection, Before I Sleep, Restorative Serum for overnight brightening), then moisturise according to skin type. The al.ive skin collection simplifies routine-building with clear product names and purposes. Use the 3 or 5-piece tray systems to keep essentials organised and encourage consistency for best results.
Yes, most al.ive skin products are housed in refillable vessels designed for longevity. The signature tray systems keep bottles organised on your vanity, making refilling easy and encouraging sustainable habits. Refill options reduce plastic waste and are kerbside recyclable while maintaining the elevated design aesthetic that defines the collection. This approach reflects the founders' belief that sustainability shouldn't compromise style or functionality.
Yes, al.ive skin products are formulated with naturally derived ingredients and are free from parabens, sulfates and synthetic dyes, making them suitable for sensitive skin. However, as with any new skincare, patch test products first, especially if you have known sensitivities. The gentle formulations deliver effective results without harsh irritants, supporting the skin's natural balance while addressing specific concerns.
