    The natural alcohol used in some Janesce products is sourced from fermented grapes. It is used at incredibly low levels (less than 1%) to aid the penetration of plant actives into the skin. It has no negative effects on the skin.

    Ethylhexylglycerine is a preservative that is used in very low concentrations in some Janesce skincare products. It were chosen because it scores very favourably on the EWG (Environmental Working Group) Cosmetic Ingredient Safety Database.

  • How to Increase Intensity

    As a general rule, it’s best to apply a Janesce concentrate after misting, as the mist provides a hydrating buffer for the skin. This helps to prevent any over-stimulation that might occur from the powerful plant actives. However, if you think your skin is strong enough, you will receive even more therapeutic benefits if you apply the concentrate prior to misting.

    Passion Over Profit

    Janesce concentrates are powerful herbal medicines for the skin. Why? Because the plant extractions are highly concentrated and matured for years in the Janesce lab like a fine wine. Other ranges simply cannot match the concentration of Janesce extracts. Jan’s processes are not driven by profit. Instead, they are driven by passion for the potency of the product and compassion for the people who will use them. There are a thousand ways she could cut corners, but she never does. The results speak for themselves.

  • The majority of plants in Janesce Skincare products are grown, harvested and extracted at Claret Ash Farm – an organic, biodynamic garden in the Adelaide Hills of Australia.

    Janesce products contain up to 70% more plant actives than many other botanical ranges.

    Plant actives are extracted from plants in the onsite lab at Claret Ash Farm. They are left to mature for years at a time, like a fine wine.

    There are no nasties in Janesce products. 

    Plant extracts provide the active ingredients in each product. 

    Moisturisers feature quality plant oils and shea butter. 

    Waxes are plant-based, derived from coconut oil.

  • We believe in treating all living beings with respect. None of our products are tested on animals. All of the products in the Janesce Glow Packs are vegan.

    *In the wider Janesce range, the honey used in some Janesce Skincare products is ethically sourced from happy bees. Silk-proteins used in several products are also ethically sourced.

  • Our skin has a natural barrier. It protects the deeper layers of skin from environmental irritants. In the beauty industry today, this skin barrier is often stripped away through over-cleansing, exfoliation and harsh peels. 

    At Janesce we have the upmost respect for the skin barrier. We believe it is vital to work in harmony with the skin’s defences, not against them. Our skincare philosophy works to strengthen this layer and foster a healthy, natural glow.  

  • In Janesce, we place a high priority on strengthening the skin barrier – the uppermost layers of skin that protect the vulnerable layers beneath. Over-cleansing can undermine the skin barrier. This is one of the biggest causes of skin problems, even for oily skin! This is why we recommend you cleanse in the evening only. 

    In the morning, simply wipe the skin with a damp cloth and move onto The Janesce Skin Soaking Routine. This will remove any excess oil or perspiration without compromising the skin barrier.

HOW TO SKIN SOAK

In the morning fill your sink with warm water, add a few soaking drops to the water and take several deep breaths, enjoying the therapeutic fragrance.

In the evening, begin by cleansing your skin of makeup, sunblock chemicals and pollutants that can build up during the day. Follow with the soaking ritual (as above).

Immerse your Janesce Soaking Cloth in the warm water, wring out the excess and press the damp cloth to your face and neck area. Take five slow, deep breaths and enjoy the process.

Repeat this step at least three times to ensure your skin is fully hydrated.

Do not dry your face or let the moisture evaporate as this will undermine the benefits of skin soaking. Apply a Janesce moisturiser or facial oil to seal in all that botanically-enriched hydration.
