How to use

1. Frequency

Use in the morning (especially for its antioxidant benefits) and in the evening, in place of your regular cleanser. Start with daily use and adjust as needed. If your skin feels irritated, pause for a few days and restart with a lower frequency.

2. Create the foam

Wet your hands only. Keep the bar dry, then rub it between your palms until a creamy foam forms.

3. Massage in

Apply the foam to your face and massage gently in circular motions for around 15 seconds. Do not let it sit on the skin. Avoid the eye area.

4. Rinse thoroughly

Rinse off with lukewarm water until all residue is removed. Gently pat skin dry with a clean towel. Store the bar in a dry spot between uses to help it last longer.

5. How to follow up

Always follow with toner and serum. If used during the day, finish with SPF to protect your skin.

Key ingredients

The natural, science-backed ingredients behind our Boosting Bar - Achiote:

Bixa Orellana Seed Powder

Achiote Seed Powder

Achiote, is derived from the seeds of the Bixa orellana tree, native to tropical regions like Mexico. Rich in antioxidants like carotenoids (bixin and norbixin), it protects the skin from environmental damage and oxidative stress. Additionally, tocotrienols have anti-inflammatory effects, while phenolic compounds offer potent antioxidant activity, reducing signs of aging. The fatty acids in Achiote includes palmitic acid, linoleic acid, oleic acid, linolenic acid, stearic acid, and eicosanoic acid. These fatty acids are known for their moisturizing, emollient, and antioxidant properties.

Agave Tequilana Stem Extract

Agave Stem Extract

Agave extract is derived from the stem of the Agave tequilana plant, also known as the blue agave. This extract is rich in natural sugars, particularly fructans, which have hydrating and soothing properties for the skin. It contains various vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, offering benefits such as moisturization, protection against environmental stressors, and support for skin elasticity.

Citrus Grandis Peel Oil

Grapefruit Essential Oil

Citrus Grandis Peel Oil is derived from the peel of the grapefruit (Citrus grandis), a citrus fruit. This essential oil is obtained through a process called cold pressing, where the oil is extracted from the outer peel of the grapefruit. It is valued for its astringent properties, helping to cleanse and tone the skin.

Cocos Nucifera Oil

Coconut Oil

Cocos Nucifera Oil, commonly known as coconut oil, is derived from the kernel or meat of mature coconuts, harvested from the coconut palm (Cocos nucifera). The oil contains fatty acids with antimicrobial properties, potentially aiding in the prevention of infections. Additionally, coconut oil may have anti-inflammatory effects, helping soothe irritated or inflamed skin.

7 steps for a healthy skin

The M-Beauty skincare routine

01

Cleanse

Cleanse
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
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
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
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
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
06

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

Protect

Protect
07

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 Boosting Bar - Achiote

Is the Boosting Bar suitable for daily use?

Yes. The Boosting Bar is gentle enough to be used every day, morning and evening. It cleanses thoroughly without stripping the skin and helps keep it hydrated, calm and comfortable, even when exposed to everyday environmental stress.

Which skin types benefit most from the Boosting Bar?

The Boosting Bar works well for all skin types. It’s particularly well suited for skin that looks tired, feels dry or stressed, or has lost some of its natural glow, as it supports radiance while staying gentle on the skin.

Can the Boosting Bar cause irritation?

Irritation is uncommon when the bar is used as recommended. If your skin does react, simply pause use and switch to a gentler option such as the Calming Bar until your skin feels settled again.

How is the Boosting Bar different from the Antioxidant Bar?

The Boosting Bar is focused on refreshing the skin and enhancing radiance, making it a good choice when skin feels dull or sluggish. The Antioxidant Bar is more about daily protection and maintaining balance, especially against environmental stress. In simple terms: Boosting supports glow and vitality, while Antioxidant focuses on protection and steadiness.

Are there any safety precautions?
