Since our launch in 2006, with every creation, we have journeyed deeper into the heart of botanical wisdom, propelled by the burgeoning research that underscores the undeniable benefits of plant-based skincare. Powered by the vitality of living plant-life and the alchemy of advanced energy and cold-processing techniques, ISUN embodies a deep-rooted intention - one that is both healing and uplifting, nurturing not only the skin but the spirit within.

Navigating the landscape of the natural skincare industry can feel like a maze, with countless options on the table. The key here lies in tuning into what truly resonates with you. Delve into the ethos of a brand, explore their vision, carefully review the ingredient list and observe the journey from formulation to realization.

Harnessing living nature

Imagine immersing yourself in a pristine forest, a gentle stream meandering softly, or sunlight filtering through a lush canopy, surrounded by the vibrant energy of nature. That's the essence of ISUN - a celebration of the purest elements of the natural world, handcrafted to nourish your skin on every level.

At the core of our philosophy lies the natural relationship between living light and living plants. Infused with healing vibrations of light and nutrients, these plants resound with our bodies and skin on a cellular level. The communication between biophotons (light) in plants and in our bodies cultivates effective regeneration and balance, leading to overall vitality and wellbeing.

Making sourcing personal

Our journey from herb to product begins with a thoughtful curation of ingredients. We have devoted years to intimately explore and uncover the unique purposes of each plant before selecting them for our products – elevating our level of care.

We handpick each element from a multi-dimensional perspective, acknowledging the profound significance of an ingredient beyond skin-enhancing properties. From the comforting hold of calendula with its soothing benefits, to the gentle strength of chamomile renowned for its anti-inflammatory elements and the invigorating essence of rosemary with its potent antioxidants. This multi-faceted strategy resonates with ISUN, underscoring our dedication to curating a skincare collection that genuinely enriches your whole self.

All ingredients are sustainably chosen not just for their raw state benefits and heat sensitivity but also for the sense of meaning they embody. This comprehensive selection encompasses herbs, berries, botanical extracts, essential oils, vitamins and enzymes—all sourced for their distinctive attributes and enduring quality.

Herbal oils: an inimitable formulation

What truly distinguishes ISUN is our cold-pressed herbal oils. Crafted over 3-4 weeks at temperatures never exceeding 95°F, our oils retain the full spectrum of antioxidants and nutrients crucial for radiant skin health. This intricate process ensures that every drop of oil is infused with the vibrant essence of nature, delivering nourishment deep into the skin's layers. Unlike conventional approaches reliant on heat and chemicals, cold-processing allow for formulations to penetrate deeply and effectively addressing various skin concerns such as dryness, inflammation and signs of aging. This concentrated combination of antioxidants, vitamins and essential fatty acids in our cold-pressed oils revitalize and rejuvenate the skin, promoting a healthy, luminous complexion.

At the core of our method lies the maintenance of consistent temperatures. Our cold-processing technique acts as a guardian for the active constituents within our ingredients, shielding them from the potential harm of heat exposure often observed in traditional routes. Through specialized technology that we have developed over decades, we ensure steadfast temperature control in our manufacturing facilities, preserving the integrity of the nutrients and active compounds present in our formulations, infusing our products with exceptional potency.

While many skincare companies depend on automated manufacturing processes, we value human touch in our formulation process. Our products reflect our craftsmanship, instilled with intention and detail.

The key to glowing skin

Cold-pressed ingredients delicately deliver potency, enriching the skin with preserved nutrients, vitamins and minerals found naturally within botanicals. By retaining bioactive compounds like polyphenols and flavonoids, these components impart antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits, shielding the skin from oxidative stress and environmental harm.

Unlike conventional processes that involve heat or harsh chemicals, cold-pressing maintains natural integrity, minimizing the risk of degradation or denaturation. Cold-pressed oils yield lightweight textures that are easily absorbed by the skin, delivering hydration, nourishment and numerous benefits. This gentle practice makes cold-pressed products well-suited for sensitive skin, as they are minimally processed and free from harsh chemicals, making them suitable for reactive skin types.

From an environmental perspective, cold-pressing serves as a sustainable skincare alternative, demanding less energy and generating minimal waste compared to heat or chemical methods. This echoes our dedication to respecting the earth and promoting an ethical approach to skincare creation.
