The Priestess Code
I
Every Priestess® formula is vegan and cruelty-free, made without animal-derived materials. Developed in the UK to EU cosmetic standards. Actives are selected at research-informed levels, then assessed through structured consumer perception testing. Restraint, evidence, repeatability.
House standards
Made in the UK
Vegan, cruelty free
Stability and challenge tested
UK and EU compliant
II
Every active used in Priestess® is traceable to a source and a purpose. Selected botanicals sit alongside laboratory-derived materials, chosen for cosmetic relevance, stability, and measured performance.
Sourcing
Botanical oils and plant extracts, sourced from traceable suppliers with documented provenance.
Transparency
Key actives stated in ranges, informed by peer-reviewed research and assessed through a consumer perception panel.
Exclusions
Formulated without parabens, silicones, mineral oils, PEGs, or microplastics.
Each formulation is assessed for stability under light, heat, and humidity. Preservation is verified through challenge testing. pH is held within 5.0–5.5 to support skin comfort and maintain formula integrity over time.
III
Barrier-first formulation. Daily tolerance, without sacrificing function.
Patch tested
Dermatologically assessed for skin tolerance
Barrier aligned
pH held within 5.0–5.5, aligned with the skin’s natural acidity
Tolerance led
Composed to minimise common irritants, with daily wearability in mind
Equilibrium: pH 5.0–5.5
Priestess® formulas are held within the skin’s natural acidity to support comfort and retain formula integrity over time.
IV
The balance of tradition and innovation
Aurum Lustrum — Gold & Hyaluronic Hydrator (III)
A fluid daily serum built around low-molecular hyaluronic acid, ceramide 3 and a signal peptide. 24-karat gold remains in suspension throughout. Skin feels supple; the surface reads smoother and more even.
The Science Within
Hyaluronic Acid — Clinically studied to improve hydration, elasticity, and surface smoothness.
Colloidal Gold — Early research suggests it may enhance luminosity when paired with active hydrators.
Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 — Trials indicate it can help soften the appearance of expression lines over time.
Centella Asiatica — Supports barrier repair, calming visible redness and sensitivity.
Ceramide 3 — Reinforces the skin’s barrier, helping to reduce transepidermal water loss.
Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C) — Known to support brighter, more even tone.
Spirulina Extract — Provides antioxidant protection against environmental stressors.
Zanthoxylum Extract — Recognised for its soothing effect on sensitive skin.
All data drawn from published clinical and dermatological research on the individual botanicals, not direct testing of the final formula.
Consumer Study Results
Consumer Perception Study — 30 Days, 21 Participants
93% reported their skin felt more hydrated and supple.
87% noticed smoother texture and a visible glow.
73% observed fine lines appeared less visible.
76% described their complexion as more even and balanced.
Results based on self-assessment questionnaires completed after 30 days of use. Individual results may vary.
Hydration
Hyaluronic acid binds water to keep the surface comfortably hydrated
Even tone
Vitamin C supports a clearer-looking tone. Gold lends the lustre
Texture
Hexapeptide-8 helps soften the look of fine lines and refine texture
Resilience
Ceramides and Centella support barrier comfort and daily tolerance
