Skincare for perimenopause

When your old routine stops working.

Plant-led skincare for skin that has stopped behaving like itself. Drier, less elastic, quicker to react than it was at thirty. The self-audit tells you what changed, and what to do first.

Formulated by Davina Hearne, Naturopath (Diploma, NZ)

I am Davina, a naturopath. This is the same set of questions I open with in clinic when a woman tells me her skin has changed.

Formulated for the change

Drier than it was.

Estrogen falls and oil production follows. The collection leans on lipids and humectants that put back what the decade takes.

More reactive than before.

The barrier thins and flares at things it used to ignore. Short ingredient lists, every one named, every one there for a reason.

Less elastic each year.

Collagen declines steadily through the transition. Support is gradual and honest; give it eight to twelve weeks.

Skin renews on its own schedule. Expect eight to twelve weeks and we say so everywhere.

Made in Australia, in runs we can stand behind.

What women write back

“Twelve weeks with the evening serum and my skin has settled. I walked past the mirror on Tuesday and kept walking. That is new.”
Cate, 42, Mosman

“My cheeks used to flare by three every afternoon. They are calm now, most days, and I trust it will hold.”

Maria, 47, Bulimba

“This is the first routine I have finished a bottle of. The dose on the label is why I bought it. The feel of it is why I stayed.”

Jess, 38, Northcote

About Davina

A naturopath of fifteen years, in perimenopause myself.

I went looking for a brand I trusted enough to use myself. One that disclosed its doses on the front of the pack. One that told me how long things take. Everything fell short of my own standard, so I made it. I formulate every product. I write every email.

What we believe

Feel like yourself again.

Valentia is a small practice with one standard. The naturopath who writes the formulas also teaches you how to use them, the doses sit on the front of the pack, and every claim is one we can keep.
