Hero Actives

SWEET ALMOND

A silken oil cherished since antiquity, rich in natural emollients that soften, replenish, and impart a lasting suppleness

EVENING PRIMROSE

A rare botanical source of gamma-linolenic acid, clinically shown to reinforce the skin barrier and restore balance to dry, fatigued complexions

FRANKINCENSE

A sacred Roman resin long used in purification rites, now prized for its rejuvenating and firming effects on mature or stressed skin

The Roman art of renewal

Galen prescribed sweet almond oil to preserve softness and vitality of the skin, while frankincense — known as olibanum — lent clarity and restoration to Roman unguents. Pliny the Elder, in Natural History (Book XII), likewise praised its use in ritual and daily care. These ancient practices endure in spirit, reimagined in Sacra Renovatio.

I am extremely satisfied with this product! The Sacra Renovatio – Botanical Renewal Oil has truly exceeded my expectations. My skin feels nourished, radiant, and healthier than ever. I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking for a high-quality skincare oil. ✨✨

Hydration for my dry skin

I’ve used this product for just over a month and wanted to make sure I left an accurate review. My skin is so dehydrated and despite great efforts, not much was working for me,I’d wake up every morning with irritated skin. I use this after I shower at night and I wake up with this oil still taking effect. My skin absorbs it but doesn’t drink ALL of it to a point where I wake up as if I never put anything on. I love this. It makes a difference not waking up to a flaking face

Thank you for such a thoughtful review. We’re delighted the oil has brought lasting comfort through the night . It was created to deeply hydrate without disappearing. Wonderful to know it’s made such a difference for you

Lovely evening oil

Feels rich but not greasy. The lavender smell is strong but relaxing and my skin is soft in the morning. Wish there was a bigger size though.

Delighted to hear the oil has become part of your evening ritual. Its richness with a light touch and natural lavender profile were chosen for this very effect. We appreciate your note on size it’s something we’ll keep in mind.

Yes; sweet almond oil was widely used in ancient Roman bathing and self-care practices for its emollient and restorative qualities. While other botanicals in this blend may not be historically verified, the elixir honours their tradition of natural, ritualistic care.
