We are Elemental Herbology
Hello...
We are Elemental Herbology, a natural skincare and wellness brand based on the Five Elements of Traditional Chinese Medicine. We are fresh, clean and thrive to create ultimate wellness experiences through unique treatments, innovative products, and our focus on well-being and lifestyle.
Our unique formulations counteract the skin damaging effects of ageing, lifestyle and the environment to give you instant, long lasting results. We believe in ethical and sustainable skincare and we are committed reducing waste, sourcing responsibly and respecting the world we live in.
The Five Elements
Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, Water. Ancient Chinese philosophy tells us that everything in life is composed of and influenced by these five different elements. They influence who we are, what we feel, and they can be affected by many different factors such as our lifestyle, diet, stress levels, routine and the seasons.
Just as your diet and clothes change with the different seasons, your dominant element can also change throughout the year. It is important to keep checking which element is most aligned to your needs. You can do this by taking our Discover Your Element Quiz.
Life is transient; different aspects of the environment can disrupt the flow of energy and balance. We hope you enjoy discovering your element and embracing the Elemental way of life.
The Wood Element
The wood element rules spring, a time of awakening and fresh new growth. Wood energy is most active in the morning.
If you are predominantly a wood person, you are one of life’s helpers, always on the go and at the service of others.
Wood aligns with our Balance skincare range, which is designed for normal to combination skins. With natural actives such as kakadu plum, magnesium and AHA’s, the Balance skincare range helps to regulate oil levels and restore lost
moisture.
Our Rejuvenate Bath & Body Oil is perfect for those times when you need a revitalising boost, and to recharge tired limbs.
The Fire Element
The fire element rules summer, a time for activity and high energy. Fire energy is most active at midday.
If you are predominantly a fire person, you are active, energetic and ambitious, but can be prone to burnout.
Fire aligns with our Purity skincare range, which is formulated for oily and congested skins. The Oil Control range uses antibacterial, anti-inflammatory botanicals such as tea tree, green tea and pumpkin to calm breakouts, balance oil production and restore purity.
Our Zest Bath & Body Oil is perfect for the times when you need an instant lift, or a shot of happiness.
The Earth Element
The earth element rules late summer, a time for completion and harmony. Earth energy is at its most active in the afternoon.
If you are predominantly an earth person, you’re a nurturer and peacemaker.
Earth aligns with our Vitality skincare range, which uses natural actives such as kombucha, vitamin C and AHA’s to protect skin from environmental damage, help to even the skin tone and restore vitality.
Our Harmony Bath & Body Oil is perfect for those times when you need to calm the mind and restore your inner balance.
The Metal Element
The metal element rules autumn, a time for boosting reserves. Metal energy is at its most active in the evening.
If you are predominantly a metal person, you are one of life’s planners – organised and focused.
Metal aligns with our Longevity skincare range. With naturally restorative and high-performance actives such as peptides, AHA’s and blue-green algae, the range helps to reduce fine lines and wrinkles, boost elasticity and give skin longevity.
Our Detox Bath & Body Oil is perfect for the times when you need to chase away sluggishness and clarify the mind.
The Water Element
The water element rules winter, a time for rest and repair. Water energy is at its most active at night.
If you are predominantly a water person, you’re intuitive and empathetic, but can withdraw from the world and worry at times.
Water aligns with our Hydration skincare range- perfect for dry, dehydrated and sensitive skins. With natural actives such as hyaluronic acid, rose damask and chamomile, the water skincare range helps to calm, soothe and deeply moisturise skin, restoring hydration.
Our Soothe Bath & Body Oil is perfect for times when you need to destress, unwind and get a good night’s sleep.
