Skincare ritual
Why do these two steps complement each other?
Hydration and a strong barrier are the foundations of skin health. Aquasphere goes beyond surface-level hydration — it supports the skin’s own moisture reserves and helps retain water for longer. The Forest Retreat complements these benefits: it not only soothes the skin but also strengthens its barrier and supports its biological response to stress.

FAQ
Yes. THE FOUNDATION DUO is suitable for both dry and dehydrated skin — including when these concerns occur together. Dehydrated skin lacks moisture in the epidermis. Dehydration can also affect combination or oily skin. Dryness is also associated with a lack of lipids and a weakened skin barrier, allowing the skin to lose moisture more easily. Aquasphere delivers multi-level hydration and helps retain moisture for longer, while The Forest Retreat creamy emulsion strengthens the skin barrier and its natural defences.
Yes. This hydrating duo supports skin barrier repair by combining multi-level hydration with care that strengthens the skin’s natural defences. Independent instrumental testing of Aquasphere showed a 13% reduction in water loss through the skin (TEWL) after 7 days of use* — indicating improved moisture retention and a stronger skin barrier. The Forest Retreat creamy emulsion strengthens the skin’s barrier and resilience to stress while calming the skin and reducing redness on the face.
Apply Aquasphere serum first. Once absorbed, follow with The Forest Retreat — a facial emulsion with a light, creamy texture that serves as the moisturiser in this duo. Use both products morning and evening on cleansed skin on the face and neck.
Yes. The set is suitable for sensitive, reactive and redness-prone skin, particularly when it is also dehydrated. The Forest Retreat has been dermatologically tested on sensitive and reactive skin. Independent instrumental testing of the emulsion showed an 8% reduction in redness on the face after 7 days and a 14% reduction after 6 weeks of use.***
Yes, but neither formula contains synthetic fragrances — their scent comes from the advanced active ingredients. Aquasphere has a subtle, natural rose scent from Damask rose petal essence. In The Forest Retreat, the delicate scent of a fresh forest comes directly from enzymatically extracted fir seed oil from the Vosges.
Yes. Aquasphere can be used in a routine that includes vitamin C, retinol or peptides, with The Forest Retreat as the moisturising step. Follow the manufacturers’ directions for layering individual products, and apply The Forest Retreat after lighter-textured formulas.
Yes. Neither formula contains ingredients commonly advised against during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
Yes. This moisturising skincare set makes a thoughtful gift for someone with sensitive skin. It combines long-lasting hydration with calming care for skin under stress. The two advanced botanical formulas are bottled in violet glass and presented in packaging grown from mycelium and hemp biomass.
The Foundation Duo hydrating face set comes in packaging grown from mycelium and hemp biomass — plant material left over from hemp processing. Mycelium binds the biomass into a cohesive material, and the packaging takes shape as the mycelium grows.
First, remove the sleeve and labels, then break the compostable mycelium packaging into small pieces and add it to your home compost bin. You can also mix the pieces into garden soil. The time it takes to break down depends on the conditions.
