Alix Skincare

This has been such a special launch for us.

The feedback coming through about our Mineral Skin Water, especially when used after our Essential Bio-Active Face Oil, has been beautiful.

Women are telling us their skin feels softer, clearer, firmer, more comfortable, and more hydrated — and that the two steps have become part of their morning and night ritual.

That is exactly why we created the Alix Oil + Water Method.

Oil first to nourish.
Water next to hydrate.
Together, skin feels balanced.

Simple. Gentle. Intelligent skincare.

"I use it daily after the Face Oil. It genuinely makes me glow."

This feedback from Lucy made us smile.

Mineral Skin Water was developed to complete the skin after nourishment.

Our Oil + Water Method combines our Essential Bio-Active Face Oil with mineral-rich hydration to support the skin barrier and leave skin feeling soft, comfortable and luminous.

Over the past few months we've heard the same themes repeated again and again:

✨ More hydrated throughout the day
✨ Softer-feeling skin
✨ Improved glow
✨ Skin that simply feels better

Thank you to everyone who helped trial this new step.

Mineral Skin Water is now available, and our first production run is already moving quickly.

Nourish first. Hydrate second.

Sometimes the most meaningful feedback arrives quietly.

This came from one of our customers, Mathilde — a French woman now sailing the world:

“I came back to Alix two years later because these products saved my skin.”

Mathilde discovered Alix in Paihia, returned before leaving New Zealand to stock up on her favourites, and recently wrote to me while sailing home via Fiji.

She added:

“I still remember the skincare rituals we shared in New Zealand.”

Reading this reminded me that skincare is never simply products.

It is knowledge. Ritual. Comfort. Confidence.

And perhaps the greatest compliment of all…

When someone carries your method with them long after they have left.

Thank you, Mathilde. ⛵💚

Something new is quietly forming at Alix.

There’s a reason humans have always been drawn to mineral springs, bathhouses, and water rituals.

Not simply because water touches the skin…
but because true hydration is about comfort, softness, and balance.

Lately, I’ve been misting our Mineral Skin Water over the Vitamin C+ Serum before bed and I honestly look forward to the ritual every evening.

The feeling on the skin is immediate. Calm. Comfortable. Weightless.

Then in the morning, I notice what I can only describe as a healthy dewiness — softer-looking skin, smoother texture, and a beautiful rested glow.

Modern skin science is teaching us something fascinating:

Hydration lasts differently when the skin barrier is already nourished.

Perhaps the old bathing rituals understood more than we realised.

Something new is quietly forming at Alix.

With science on our side, we’re exploring new ways to support skin hydration and luminosity.

Our Mineral Skin Water trialists have been using the mist after our Bio-Active Face Oil — a layering approach designed to work with the skin barrier, not against it.

The feedback so far?

Softer. More comfortable skin.
A fresh, healthy-looking glow.

Still in development.
Still under trial.
But the consistency in feedback is becoming difficult to ignore.

This is what we’re seeing more and more.

Not from complicated routines.

But from getting the basics right.

Gentle cleansing.
Nourishment.
Protection.

Real skin doesn’t need more.

It needs the right approach.

That soft, smooth feeling after cleansing?

It’s not always your skin.

Some cleansers leave behind a light conditioning layer
to mask what’s been removed.

So skin feels good -
but isn’t actually balanced.

Clean skin should feel like skin.

Simply. Gently. Effective.
