Children of Earth Skincare is a brand that integrates advanced neuroscience with ancient practices to create skincare products. We focus on rebalancing the skin and mind using astrology, neuroscience, and cutting-edge ingredients.

Our products are crafted with a blend of pure ingredients designed to enhance skin well-being without the use of harsh chemicals.

Where are your products made?

We are obsessed with making excellent quality products that achieve results, day in, day out!

That's why all our products are proudly made in the UK, using ethically sourced ingredients and sustainable practices to ensure high quality.

Our ingredients typically come from the UK and USA, and we never use synthetic fragrances, dyes or unnecessary additions to our formulas. We always prioritise ingredients nearest our HQ, to minimise carbon footprint during the production process.

Before each product is launched, it has to pass strict stability testing in the laboratory and each team member evaluates it using their unique expertise.

We also have undergone a Soil Association audit to make sure our impact on the soil is minimal (down to the cleaning products we use in the production facility!) We also regularly evaluate our supply chain to stay ahead of innovation in sustainable ingredients or packaging.

How should I store Children of Earth Skincare products?

It's best to store the products in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain their efficacy and shelf life.

Why are mushrooms in many of your formulas?

Mushrooms are a cornerstone of our formulations due to their incredible skin benefits. They are packed with antioxidants, polysaccharides, and beta-glucans, which help hydrate, soothe, and protect the skin barrier. Additionally, mushrooms have adaptogenic properties that assist in combating stress, both internally and externally, supporting overall skin health. We therefore view them as neurocosmetic.

What is the Zodiac Face Oils™ Collection?

The Zodiac Face Oils™ Collection is a series of face oils customized with mushroom extracts and essential oils.

Each oil is tailored to a specific zodiac sign, aiming to leave the skin supple, glowing, and balanced.

Each product has different and wonderful benefits for your skin. Read the individual product descriptions to choose the one that your skin would benefit most from!

All the oils are perfect for facial massage and breathwork at night, and sit well under makeup in the day to give a glowing, dewy look.

Then customised botanical extracts have been added, inspired by the work of English Physician Nicholas Culpepper (1653).

Are your products right for me even if I don't follow astrology?

Absolutely! While some of our products, like the Zodiac Face Oils™ Collection, are inspired by astrology, they are designed to provide universal skin benefits regardless of your interest in astrology. Our formulations are rooted in science and crafted with high-quality, natural ingredients that nurture and support healthy, radiant skin. Whether or not you follow astrology, our products are created to meet a wide range of skincare needs and deliver visible results.

What are neurocosmetics?

In short: something that works on the brain and the skin!

Neurocosmetics are rooted in the idea that the brain and skin are connected and that emotions can affect your skin.

According to research, when certain active ingredients contact nerve endings in the dermis, OR when they are inhaled via the olfactory system, they can influence one's mood.

In 2015, Doctor Claudia Aguirre, PhD, gave a TED talk called “The Hidden Brain in Your Skin.” She started with this anecdote: A veteran pilot, named Jack, who had experienced many stressful situations during his career, including inclement weather and a locked landing gear, had always been able to keep his cool. But every time he flew over a particular canyon, his forehead broke out in blisters. Medicine prescribed by a doctor treated the blisters when they arose, but every flight back over that canyon led to the same eruption.

Stressful situations—a divorce or breakup, job loss, a particularly fear-inducing flight pattern— tend to show up on our skin. Anyone who has experienced a period of grief or prolonged trauma or stress knows that their face often reveals the pain they feel, and there’s a reason why: The skin and the brain share the same machinery and can communicate with each other.

The stress axis found in our central nervous system, says Dr. Aguirre, is also found in the skin. For a powerful visual that demonstrates this connection, take a look at a series of portraits by photographer Claire Felicie of the Dutch marines, featuring images from before and after their deployment to Afghanistan that capture rapid, visible aging and offer stark proof of how what’s on our mind can also be on our face.

Neurocosmetics focus on improving skin health and appearance by enhancing our sensory perceptions, and by modulating levels of certain chemicals in the skin (called neuromediators or neurotransmitters) to influence the skin’s nervous system. There are countless small nerve endings in the skin (known as the skin’s cutaneous nervous system) and, as anyone who has ever used Vick’s VapoRub can attest, certain ingredients, such as menthol, are able to alert these nerve endings when they make contact.

Here at Children of Earth Skincare we have applied breathwork rituals to combine with our neurocosmetic products, in order to get the ultimate dual stress relieving benefits for skin and brain.

For example, frankincense extract is considered very balancing with anti-inflammatory effects, proven to regulate cortisol and ultimately restore collagen. When inhaled, frankincense may promote the feeling of a balanced mood, as well as possible peaceful, relaxed and satisfied feelings.

This is just one of the wonderful neurocosmetic ingredients we incorporate for the skin and brain.

Are Children of Earth Skincare products suitable for sensitive skin?

While our products are designed to be gentle, it's recommended to test a small patch of skin first to ensure compatibility with your individual needs.

Some of our products, such as Starblood handcream, come in sachets perfect for testing.

Please contact orders@childrenofearthskincare.com to arrange this for the product of your choice.

Will the essential oils in the formulas irritate my skin?

All essential oils in our formulas are carefully calculated to remain below the dermal limit by our experienced formulation team, formerly at Pai Skincare. We would never ever use synthetic fragrances.

All allergens are listed at the end of the ingredients list. If you have any doubts or questions, send an email to orders@childrenofearthskincare.com.

We are proud to use nature's best organic essences that have helped the skin and mind of people for centuries.

We also recommend that you take care to avoid the sensitive eye area when applying our products.
