Key ingredients

The natural, science-backed ingredients behind our Skin Refining Routine:

Zinc Oxide

Zinc Oxide is derived from the mineral zincite, which is processed to extract the zinc. This mineral is then oxidized to produce Zinc Oxide. The resulting Zinc Oxide is used in various formulations, including sunscreens and skincare products, due to its protective and beneficial properties.
We use a high-quality Zinc Oxide filter derived from natural sources for our SPF. This natural composition ensures broad-spectrum UV protection, effectively blocking both UVA and UVB rays. It provides excellent skin coverage and protection.

Camellia Sinensis Leaf

Green Tea Leaf

Green Tea Leaf is derived from the Camellia sinensis plant. Renowned for its rich antioxidant content, green tea leaf offers numerous benefits for the skin. It protects against free radical damage, soothes inflammation, and reduces redness. Additionally, it helps prevent signs of aging by promoting skin elasticity and reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Green tea leaf extract also improves skin texture and tone, making the complexion smoother and more even.

Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil

Argan Oil

Argan oil is derived from the kernels of the argan tree (Argania spinosa). The oil is extracted through a process of drying, roasting, and pressing the kernels. Rich in essential fatty acids, antioxidants, and vitamins, argan oil is highly valued for its nourishing and rejuvenating properties for the skin and hair. Its unique composition makes it an excellent moisturizer and anti-aging treatment, helping to improve skin elasticity and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

C13-15 Alkane

Squalane

Squalane is an exceptional moisturizer derived from natural sources such as olive oil, sugarcane, or rice bran oil. Known for its hydrating and smoothing properties, squalane mimics the natural oils of the skin. When applied, it absorbs quickly without leaving a greasy feel, providing deep and lasting hydration. Additionally, it helps restore the skin's barrier, improves elasticity, and reduces the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. Regular use can make the skin feel softer, smoother, and more rejuvenated

Cassia Angustifolia Seed Polysaccharide

Hyaluronic Acid

Cassia Angustifolia Seed Polysaccharide is derived from the seeds of Cassia angustifolia, a plant commonly known as Indian Senna or Tinnevelly Senna. The seeds are a rich source of polysaccharides and are known for their hydrating and soothing properties.

Tocopherol

Vitamin E

Vitamin E is a skincare powerhouse. Its antioxidant properties shield against environmental damage, while tocotrienols reduce inflammation. Phenolic compounds combat aging signs. Vitamin E's fatty acids - palmitic, linoleic, oleic, and more - provide deep moisturization and protection, leaving skin radiant and nourished.

Salvia Officinalis Extract

Sage Extract

Salvia officinalis extract is derived from the leaves of the Salvia officinalis plant, commonly known as sage. Sage is a perennial herb native to the Mediterranean region but cultivated worldwide for its culinary, medicinal, and aromatic properties. The extract obtained from sage leaves is used in various applications, including skincare, hair care, and herbal medicine, due to its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial properties.

Tamarind Seed Extract

Tamarind Extract

Tamarind extract is derived from the seeds of the tamarind tree (Tamarindus indica), a tropical tree cultivated in various tropical regions worldwide. Tamarind seed extract is obtained through processing and extracting the seeds of the tamarind fruit. This extract is commonly used in skincare and cosmetic products due to its moisturizing, soothing, and antioxidant properties.

Mimosa Tenuiflora Bark Extract

Tepezcohuite Bark Extract

Tepezcohuite, derived from the bark of the Mimosa tenuiflora tree, also known as "tepezcohuite" or "skin tree," is rich in beneficial compounds such as tannins, flavonoids, and alkaloids. Traditionally used for wound healing, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial properties, tepezcohuite offers soothing and regenerative effects on the skin, thanks to its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, promoting skin health and vitality.

*It's important to note that our skincare formulations do not contain N,N-dimethyltryptamine (DMT), an indolic alkaloid found in Mimosa tenuiflora responsible for hallucinogenic activity. Additionally, we prioritize certified providers to ensure the highest quality and safety standards in our products.

Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract

Aloe Vera Leaf Extract

Rich in antioxidants like vitamins C and E, along with minerals and fatty acids, it offers numerous benefits for the skin. This extract helps nourish the skin, providing essential moisture and protecting against oxidative stress. Its antioxidant properties help combat signs of aging, while its moisturizing effects leave the skin feeling soft and hydrated.

7 steps for a healthy skin

The M-Beauty skincare routine

01

Cleanse

Cleanse

Daily

01

Cleansing removes sweat, oil, pollution and makeup so they don’t sit on your skin or clog your pores. With a clean surface, everything you apply afterwards can absorb properly and work as intended.
02

Exfoliate

Exfoliate

Weekly

02

Exfoliation lifts away dead skin cells that naturally build up. This helps keep pores clear, smooths rough texture and lets fresh, healthy skin come to the surface.
03

Mask

Mask

Weekly

03

Masks deliver a concentrated treatment that your daily routine can’t always give. Whether you need hydration, balance or clarity, a mask provides an intentional boost.
04

Tone

Tone

Daily

04

Toners rebalance the skin after cleansing, add a first layer of hydration and catch any residue left behind. This prepares the skin so serums and moisturisers can penetrate more effectively.
05

Treat

Treat

Daily

05

Serums focus on specific concerns, like dullness, breakouts or fine lines. They contain high levels of active ingredients that target what your skin needs most.
06

Moisturise

Moisturise

Daily

Moisturisers keep water in the skin and strengthen its protective barrier. This prevents dryness, sensitivity and helps maintain a balanced, healthy complexion.
07

Protect

Sun protection is the final and most essential step. UV rays cause most signs of premature ageing and pigmentation, even on cloudy days, so daily SPF keeps your skin healthy long-term.

FAQ

Find out more about our Skin Refining Routine

Is the Skin Refining Routine suitable for sensitive skin?

Yes. The toner and serum are both formulated with a short, skin-friendly ingredient list and have been thoroughly tested. They avoid common irritants and are very unlikely to cause reactions, which makes this routine a safe choice even for sensitive skin.

Can I use the toner and serum daily?

Yes, absolutely. They are made for everyday use. Used morning and evening, they hydrate and support the skin while staying gentle enough not to overwhelm it.

What is the difference between Day, Night, and Day & Night?

The difference is simply the final step. The Day routine finishes with the Sunshielding Cream to protect the skin from UV exposure. The Night routine finishes with the Radiating Cream to support recovery and moisture while you sleep. The Day & Night option includes both, so you use the sunscreen during the day and the Radiating Cream at night, with the same toner and serum as the base in both routines.

Are the products in this bundle dermatologically tested?

Yes. All Viva Maia products are dermatologically tested.

Bundles that include the Regenerating Serum and Hydrating Toner contain products that have been independently tested by Dermatest. Both the Regenerating Serum and the Hydrating Toner received the dermatological rating “very good”.

The Regenerating Serum was tested in a clinical application study under dermatological supervision. No relevant skin reactions, irritations, or allergic responses (contact dermatitis) were observed.

The Hydrating Toner was tested in a controlled patch test on participants with sensitive skin and showed no irritative reactions.

When used as intended, the products are considered very well tolerated and suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin. If your skin is extremely reactive, we recommend introducing the products gradually and increasing frequency once your skin tolerates them well.

Is it scientifically validated?

Yes. The ingredients in our Skin Refining Routine are supported by scientific research conducted in Mexico and Germany.

Is it vegan or cruelty free?

Yes, the Skin Refining Routine is 100% natural, vegan, cruelty-free, and certified by PETA.
