What is humic shale? 

Humic Shale is a natural, mineral rich substance derived from ancient organic matter (plant material) that's been compressed over millions of years in the earth. It's typically found in clay or shale deposits and is used in wellness and skincare for its absorption, detoxifying and re-mineralizing properties.

5 Skin benefits of 

humic shale

  1. Deep Detoxification - Humic shale draws out impurities, heavy metals, and environmental toxins from deep within the skin. This mineral-rich compound acts like a magnet for pollutants, leaving your complexion clearer, fresher, and more vibrant.
  2. Anti-Inflammatory and Soothing -With naturally occurring minerals and antioxidants, humic shale calms redness, soothes irritation, and reduces inflammation — making it a powerful ally for sensitive or stressed skin.
  3. Mineral-Rich Nourishment - Humic shale is loaded with over 70 trace minerals, including magnesium, calcium, and zinc - essential for healthy skin function. These minerals replenish and strengthen the skin barrier, improving resilience, hydration, and glow.
  4. Cellular Regeneration - Thanks to its fulvic acid content, humic shale supports skin cell renewal and repair. It stimulates turnover while delivering vital nutrients directly into the cells - revealing fresher, smoother, more youthful skin.
  5. Balancing and Clarifying - This ingredient helps regulate oil production while refining pores and clarifying the complexion. Its mineral content supports a healthy pH balance, helping the skin find its natural harmony.

My Personal Approach to 

Anti-aging Skincare Rituals

Skincare for me isn’t about doing more; it’s about little rituals that feel joyful and nurturing inside and out. 

My favourite? The facial wash in the shower - it’s my citrus wake-up call each morning. 

The lotion and serum, with frankincense, feel grounding and continue my love affair with frankincense for all skin challenges I have thrown at it over the years (see my blog re- sunspot). 

Rose eye cream is my little treat to wake up my eyes or wind down at night. A little bit of lux and it goes a long way. 

Rotating these products keeps my routine simple and delightful. It’s not about doing everything at once - just a few thoughtful choices that make my skin and my mood feel cared for. 
I love how the essential oils go deeper than just skincare - seriously some mornings it just sings to me for emotional care - priceless really.

Your skin doesn’t exist in isolation. Stress, sleep, nourishment, and daily rhythms all influence how it looks and feels.
If you’re ready to support your skin from the inside out - not just at the surface - this is where I’d suggest starting.

  • Moisture Rich Lotion & Serum – With frankincense, grounding morning or evening ritual
  • Day & Night Cream – Light for day, rich for night - add in booster oil at night. 
  • Booster Oil – Luxury add-in whenever skin needs extra support - also use on nail cuticles for a treat.
