A WORD FROM THE FOUNDER
By fusing alchemy and science, working closely with nature, we create products which tune in with the skin's biochemical process, recreating the original unity. The body recognises the synergy in the molecular structure of our formulas and works with the active ingredients, to reveal a healthy glow, bringing beauty to life.
DR SPIEZIA
FOUNDER
WHY POSITIVE LUXURY
We have always been committed to being the best we can be, both for our consumers and the environment. We felt it was important to go through the recertification process to maintain (and reinforce) our transparency as a business, but also as an incentive to keep improving, working towards personal and global goals.
PATHWAY TO HIGHER STANDARDS
Sustainability, purity and craftsmanship remains a mindful focus and commitment for Inlight Beauty as a business and for its customers. Inlight Beauty has been working with a new local carbon balanced supplier to further improve its recycled primary packaging boxes and are looking at new innovative materials for samples packs. The focus for the business will remain the tireless research on green chemistry to draw more from Nature without disturbing it. The commitment and craftsmanship will always remain at the heart of its progression as behind a truly organic handcrafted product lies the time, care and dedication of individuals transforming the normal into the unique and extraordinary.
