At earth:li, skincare begins with kindness. Kindness to your skin, to your senses and to the earth that grows the plants we use. Our natural moisturising oils and organic lotion moisturisers are handmade in small batches from my workshop at home in Polruan, a quiet seaside village in Cornwall where thoughtful formulation happens. Nothing here is mass-produced. Every bottle is blended, poured, labelled and packaged by hand so what arrives with you feels personal.
My name is Sonia. I hold a Diploma in Holistic Aromatherapy from the Tisserand Institute in Central London and have been practising for over twenty years. earth:li natural skincare grew from that training, combining scientific understanding of plant chemistry with an intuitive love for oils, herbs, flowers and the way their nutrients and properties can transform skin gently over time.
Our moisturisers are not bulked out with fillers or synthetic additives. Instead, we use cold-pressed plant oils and nourishing butters that the skin readily absorbs. The result is hydration that feels silky, not greasy. A moisturiser that soaks into the dermis where it nourishes and protects your skin cells.
Why Choose a Natural Moisturising Oil from earth:li?
Natural oils behave differently to conventional creams. Rather than sitting on top of the skin, they are fully absorbed and deliver hydration from within. This means less dryness, more comfort and a smooth glow.
Each earth:li blend contains more than twenty carefully selected botanical oils.
• Rosehip encourages brightness
• Jojoba balances natural sebum
• Sweet Almond and Hemp support elasticity
• Pomegranate and Wheatgerm help renewal
The skin responds well to plant oils because it recognises them.
Our Simplicity oil blend contains only nutrient-rich oils and is fragrance free. If you enjoy scent then we use essential oils in five delicate and unique blends selected for their therapeutic properties to support your skin's good health.
A Simple Moisture Ritual for Daily Skin Comfort
Skincare should feel like care, not routine. This ritual is slow, sensory, and grounding.
Cleanse with something gentle
Gently wash your face with a natural soap or use a cleansing oil or toner to prepare your skin. Allow the skin to remain slightly dewy – moisture absorbs best when the barrier has not been stripped.
Apply a botanical toner
Mist generously and let it settle like soft morning rain, or soak a cotton wool pad with toner and use circular motions to gently exfoliate your face. Toner is the first drink of water your skin receives in the day and prepares the surface for oils to follow.
Massage in natural moisturising oil
Add two to four drops of oil to the palm of your hand and massage in slow circles across cheeks, temples, jawline, and neck. For the body, use after a warm shower while skin is still moist. Over time, dryness softens, tone evens, and skin glows gently in natural light.
Ingredients That Make Moisture Meaningful
We believe ingredients should feed the skin. Cold-pressed plant oils contain enzymes, vitamins, antioxidants and omegas that support softness, elasticity and radiance.
You’ll find Rosehip, Apricot Kernel, Avocado, Sea Buckthorn, Sweet Almond, Jojoba and more inside our bottles. Each contributes nutrients to repair and protect whilst holding moisture in to keep skin alive.
There is no petroleum, no parabens and no harsh chemicals here. Just plant oils carefully blended to help skin thrive.
Handmade in Cornwall, with Care for Skin and Earth
Every bottle is created by hand in my workshop overlooking the sea. I make blends slowly and in small quantities to ensure each one reaches you fresh.
We source organic and locally or home grown ingredients wherever possible. Packaging is minimal, mostly reusable and designed to return to us for recycling or refilling. Only the dropper tops are plastic. All outer packaging is paper or card and is biodegradable or repurpose-ready.
We ship with Royal Mail to minimise unnecessary road mileage. It matters where skincare begins, how it travels and where its packaging ends up.
earth:li is made with love, patience and respect for your skin and for our planet.
How Does This Affect Your Skin?
Slow beauty reveals itself gradually. With consistent use, skin becomes calmer, softer, brighter and far more comfortable day-to-day. Hydration begins to hold longer. You may notice less tightness in winter, less irritation from dry conditions and a healthy sheen. This is nourishment that works with the skin generating inner health.
Frequently Asked Questions
What makes earth:li face and body oils different from mass-produced moisturisers?
We hand-blend everything in small batches using plant oils instead of petroleum-based ingredients or industrial additives. Every ingredient adds essential nourishment for your skin's health.
Will face oil feel greasy?
No. When applied to the skin, oil absorbs beautifully and leaves a soft, dewy finish rather than shine.
Is this suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes. Natural oils are gentle and supportive. Many customers with reactive skin find comfort in our blends.
Do all products contain essential oils?
earth:li blends use essential oils to create gentle aromas which are no more than 1% of the blend and each one has been safety tested for use on the face, but Simplicity contains no essential oil fragrance at all.
How long does a bottle last?
A little goes a long way. Used daily, a bottle can last at least a month.
Where are earth:li products made?
Every bottle is blended and poured in my workshop at home in Polruan, Cornwall.
Are your ingredients organic?
Wherever possible, yes. Many ingredients are locally sourced too.
