Herbario’s skincare formulas are developed at their waitlist-worthy clinic on Chapel Street in Melbourne, with products inspired by traditional European herbal medicine.
Discovering that plants that are good for us on the inside can also be turned into formulations used topically, underpins their holistic philosophy. Here, the co-founders talk through their top five formulas, designed for a variety of skin concerns and benefits. Whether you have an oily complexion or dry-looking skin, you’ll find something to help you with your skin goals.
Cozza reveals his top two products would be the Detox Cleansing Oil and Detox Cleansing Powder. And luckily, you can dip your toes into the Herbario pool and try this exact duo with the conveniently carry on-sized Detox Cleansing Powder and Oil Travel Pack. While this might be cheating the top five a little bit, can you blame us when they pair together so well to double cleanse?
“There’s no way you can nourish the skin if you’re carrying yesterday’s dead skin cells on there,” Shubere explains. Both cleansers contain the herbs marshmallow, echinacea and lavender which work to remove traces of makeup, dirt and grime, all while soothing and hydrating skin.
A tip from Shubere: create a mask mixture in with the oil, powder and small amount of water. Leaving the herbs on the skin for a short time, rather than rinsing immediately, allows them time to get to work.
