Aloe is a gel serum that feels almost weightless and still gives skin a serious boost in hydration. Two molecular weights of hyaluronic acid, famed for holding 1000 times its weight in water, are suspended in a base of soothing aloe.
Oils of clary sage and sage sit alongside French lavender picked in the Grasse region, which soothes skin and relaxes the senses as it goes on. Light enough to use alone on oily skin, or layered under a richer moisturiser when skin needs more.
Suitable for all skin types.
Comes in a 30ml glass bottle with pump.
ABOUT the MAKER
Monastery Skincare
Athena Hewett spent twenty years as a master esthetician before she founded Monastery, frustrated by how often the products meant to help her clients' skin were doing the opposite. Her approach draws on childhood summers in Greece, gathering herbs with her grandmother and learning to work with the body rather than against it. That principle, support rather than override, still shapes every formula. Each product is made by hand, in small batches, at Monastery's studio in San Francisco. Plant oils and absolutes are chosen for how they nourish and balance rather than irritate, formulated to work with the skin's own repair processes instead of overriding them. Nothing synthetic. Nothing rushed. The company remains independently owned, with Athena and her team sourcing, testing, and bottling every batch themselves. At Tessuti, we carry a small selection of Monastery's essentials, the treatments we return to, the ones that reward patience and daily use. Skin, given the right conditions, knows how to heal itself.
