Rooted in plants.
Rooted in intention.

Introducing the Well Serum from Botnia — a thoughtfully formulated, plant-based treatment designed to bring skin back into balance.

Powered by an algae-based retinol alternative, this serum delivers the benefits of traditional retinol — without the irritation — making it ideal for sensitive, reactive, or congested skin.

This formula supports:
• A stronger, more resilient skin barrier
• Calming of redness and visible irritation
• A clearer, more balanced complexion
• The appearance of smoother skin and refined texture
• Healthy aging through gentle cell turnover support

Lightweight, restorative, and intentional — this is skincare that works with your skin, not against it.

If your skin has been feeling out of balance, this may be the reset it’s been asking for.

🌿 How to Use
After cleansing and toning, apply 1–2 pumps to slightly damp skin.
Follow with moisturizer (and SPF in the morning).
Simple. Effective. Barrier-friendly.

If you’re ready for retinol-like results — without the side effects — ask us about Well Serum at your next facial or stop by the spa to pick yours up.

Rooted in plants. Rooted in intention. 🌿

🌹 Two Hydrating Rose Essentials We Love

If your skin is craving calm, hydration, and balance, rose is one of the most powerful botanicals you can welcome into your daily skincare ritual.

Rose is known not only for its skin-soothing benefits, but also for its ability to create emotional balance, calm the nervous system, and support a sense of grounding and well-being — making it a beautiful ally for both skin and spirit.

We’re highlighting two rose-infused essentials available at the spa — each designed to support your skin in a unique and intentional way.

🌿 Botnia Rose Water Toner
Marie Claire – Best Toner for Sensitive Skin

This is our go-to toner for even the most sensitive or reactive skin.

As featured in Marie Claire, this beautifully simple formula combines organic rose (sourced by Botnia from local organic farms) with witch hazel to gently rebalance and support healthy skin function.

✨ Why clients love it:
• Calms even the most sensitive skin
• Helps balance skin bacteria and pH levels
• Supports a healthy skin microbiome
• Boosts the skin’s natural immune system
• Hydrating, refreshing, and essential oil–free

Ideal for daily use after cleansing or anytime your skin needs gentle, soothing support.

🌿 Green Envee Hydrate Facial Mist
A hydrating infusion of rose + hyaluronic acid for revitalized, glowing skin.

This ultra-fine facial mist combines organic rose distillate with hyaluronic acid and goji berry to refresh fatigued skin and lock in long-lasting hydration — while the rose helps soothe sensitivities and support emotional balance throughout the day.

✨ Why it’s a must-have:
• Instantly revitalizes tired, dehydrated skin
• Locks in long-lasting hydration
• Smooths the appearance of fine lines
• Strengthens the skin’s moisture barrier
• Rich in antioxidants to soothe skin sensitivities
• Perfect for use throughout the day — even over makeup

✨ Which rose product is right for you?
• Choose Botnia Rose Water Toner if your skin is sensitive, reactive, or easily inflamed
• Choose Green Envee Hydrate Facial Mist if your skin needs instant hydration, smoothing, and revitalization

The New Year is the perfect time to reset — not with pressure, but with intention.

Instead of resolutions, we invite you to set your Skintensions — small, consistent choices that support healthy, glowing skin all year long.

✨ Your New Year Skintensions might include:
• Cleansing your skin morning & night
• Washing makeup brushes regularly
• Developing a skincare routine that works for you
• Wearing SPF every day
• Supporting your skin through healthy eating & proper hydration

Skincare isn’t about perfection — it’s about consistency and care.

If you’re unsure where to start, or ready to refine your routine, we’re here to guide you. From customized skincare home care to in-spa treatments designed to support your goals, we’ll help you create Skintensions that actually stick.

Here’s to a year of mindful skincare, healthy habits, and skin that feels as good as it looks.

January is the perfect time to reset your skin with intention ✨
If your skin is craving radiance, clarity, and calm, this is your sign ✨

We’re featuring one of our most transformative Brightening treatment product this month— the Epicutis Arctigenin Brightening treatment, a next-generation brightening serum that delivers visible radiance without the irritation common in traditional vitamin C products. Designed to illuminate your complexion while strengthening and soothing the skin barrier.

How Arctigenin is different than typical Vitamin C:
Most vitamin C serums rely on acidic forms (like L-ascorbic acid) to brighten skin. While effective, they often:
• Cause redness, stinging, or sensitivity
• Compromise the skin barrier
• Oxidize quickly and lose potency
• Aren’t ideal for sensitive or compromised skin

Epicutis Arctigenin Brightening Treatment takes a holistic approach.
Instead of acids, it uses Arctigenin, a powerful botanical active that:
• Brightens and evens skin tone gently
• Helps calm inflammation and redness
• Supports and strengthens the skin barrier
• Remains stable and effective for sensitive skin

What is Arctigenin?
Arctigenin is a powerful, plant-derived compound extracted from the seeds of burdock (Arctium lappa) — a botanical long used in traditional medicine for its calming and restorative properties.
In advanced skincare, Arctigenin is perfect because it brightens skin without triggering inflammation, which is a major difference from many traditional brightening ingredients.

The result is healthy, luminous skin — without irritation.

✨ January Product Special ✨
$20 OFF Epicutis Arctigenin Brightening
• Regular price: $175
• January special: $155

Start the new year with a product that works with your skin, not against it.

*Available while supplies last — message us to reserve yours today or get one at your January facial ✨ Special not available online only at Alternative Skincare and Wellness.
