The word arcana refers to secrets or mysteries, which is exactly what inspired this luxury, artisan green beauty brand. Arcana Skincare was named for its mission to reveal some of the mysteries behind plant life, which humans have explored for thousands of years. Studying plants has allowed humanity to make great advancements in the arts and science alike, with herbal medicine revealing new remedies throughout. Every day, we continue to discover more ways that we can harness the potential that plants store within. The husband and wife team behind Arcana is committed to utilizing the highest quality herbal extractions in skincare and wellness to make their benefits more widely available. As the direct result of their efforts, we’ve discovered a holistic skincare collection designed to transform our skincare routines through the use of rare botanicals. We were intrigued by this brand’s take on skincare and had to see for ourselves what these products are capable of. Arcana Skincare is offering a luxurious green beauty experience with botanical traditions taking the forefront.
Holistic Approach to Skincare
In order to tap into the ‘arcana’ of the natural world, one has to have a strong understanding of the various types of plants that they work with and the capabilities that each one has. Arcana Skincare is able to masterfully identify the exact plants and extracts that they want to work with for the particular results they want to see. Arcana starts with a list of botanicals – such as blueberry seeds, hawthorn berries, wild pansy, cloudberry seed to name only a few – all of which come from ethically sourced, biodynamic farming, or wild harvesting. Just as Arcana enjoys so many benefits from these ingredients, they show gratitude with careful sourcing practices so that the same ground that produced these fascinating ingredients will be able to continue thriving for many years to come. Arcana Skincare calls on the physical, mental, and spiritual benefits of botany to create easy-to-use formulations that are beautiful to touch and beneficial for a variety of skin conditions.
Modern Skincare Meets Traditional Remedies
An interesting element of the brand’s process for creating formulations is that it successfully merges traditional concepts with modern research in the field of skincare science to create products that offer results. Arcana uses both systems for creating effective products without compromising one or the other. These two schools of thought come together to work in harmony as a well-balanced, well-thought-out skincare line that performs. Arcana seamlessly introduces traditional herbal practices from different cultures, namely those from its origins in North America and Scotland, to our contemporary knowledge of chemistry and ingredients. Each of the botanicals used is not only selected for its physical benefits to the skin, but also for its energetic benefits to the person as a whole. Ingredients are selected using a combination of deep plant knowledge and intuition, then hand-blended to deliver a unique take on green beauty luxury.
Wide Range of Appeal
Arcana Skincare as a line carries a wide range of products to address the various concerns that people might have with their skin, ensuring that the line contains a solution that will address all steps in your skincare routine and will work for most to all skin types. Let’s explore a nighttime skincare routine; Arcana provides the Viritida Ritual Cleansing Balm, a decadent, fresh cleansing balm that melts and washes away makeup, dirt and sweat while preserving the skin’s acid mantle. Sulis Mineral Replenish Face Mist delivers fermented minerals and amino acids to tone and hydrate the skin, and replenish essential minerals with colloidal copper, gold and hydrolysed pearl, amongst many others. Veil of Rest Vitamin Recovery Serum nourishes and replenishes the skin with cloudberry, hawthorn berry and blueberry seed oils as well as French plum kernel oil while Second Sight Eye Serum plumps up and revitalizes the look of the under-eye area with green coffee bean, eyebright, bilberry and artichoke leaf extracts. As a treatment, the Kilda Thalassic Detox Face Mask brings together a wide variety of seaweed and algae that can promote skin repair and detoxification. Amongst the long list of unique ingredients, you’ll find French green clay, pearl powder, chlorella, Hebridean sea kelp, Hawaiian spirulina, bladderwrack and more. Arcana Skincare delivers artisan green beauty with its own unique perspective on how to deliver skin nutrition through gorgeous ingredient decks.
Enhancing the Skincare Experience
With all of its soothing, nourishing benefits and richly nourishing ingredients, Arcana Skincare enhances the experience of your skincare routine and elevates it to the point where it becomes a unique botanical ritual. Arcana does a great job of heightening an ordinary practice and transforming it into a luxurious experience in which you allow yourself to indulge in rich, deeply nourishing natural ingredients, selected with intention. The ritual of it all and the amazing products come together to put the mind, body, and spirit at ease, while you treat yourself and your skin gently.
Arcana Skincare offers you more than a new skincare routine, but a ritual that allows you to indulge and relax on a regular basis. Of course, we were moved by this brand’s innovative use of traditional remedies and techniques combined with modern skincare research to produce the products we are proud to offer you today through the Beauty Heroes online beauty store. Arcana is on a mission to slowly lift the veil off of the botanical world, and we are excited to see more of what they have to reveal.
