Discover A Superfood Routine For Radiant Skin
Tired-looking skin is often caused by dead skin cells building up on the surface of the skin. Combined with an uneven skin tone, your skin can begin looking weary and lifeless. Fortunately, we have a number of products that contain superfoods and tropical ingredients to address these issues, harnessing gentle exfoliation as well as potent antioxidants.
Our Superfood Enzyme Collection contains the Barbados Cherry Enzyme Cleansing Powder and Mango Exfoliating Enzyme Masque which can be used in professional spa settings as well as for home care, offering flexibility in your skin care routine.
This latest collection is formulated with natural enzymes and tropical ingredients to gently exfoliate skin. Enzymes gently exfoliate the surface layer of dead skin cells, promoting a smoother-looking complexion. Their gentle nature makes enzymes ideal for all skin types, even sensitive skin.
The collection:
- Revitalizes dull skin with natural enzymes, including actinidin from kiwi, papain from papaya and bromelain from pineapple
- Delivers silky-smooth skin
- Gently exfoliates while minimizing the risk of irritation
- Offers luxurious and exotic sensorial experiences that transport you to the tropics

Is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin
Below, you’ll also find recommendations for pairing the products from this new launch with favorites from the Tropical Superfood Collection. The Pineapple Refining Tonique, Superfood Booster-Powder and Yuzu Solid Body Oil include polyhydroxy acids (PHA) and unique, next-gen superfood botanicals such as Kakadu plum, pineapple and camu camu.
A Facial Skin Care Routine
Here's how to incorporate our superfood products into a facial skin care routine that leaves the complexion brighter and smoother-looking.
1. Cleanser
For your cleansing step, try the Barbados Cherry Enzyme Cleansing Powder. This delicious-smelling cleanser delights the senses with Barbados cherry while actinidin and papain soften the look of the skin. This 2-in-1 product both exfoliates and purifies — plus its packaging features a pour control dispenser to ensure you receive the perfect amount of product every time. The enzymatic power of actinidin and papain eliminates surface buildup and improves skin hydration for brighter, youthful-looking skin.
How To Use
Dispense 1–2 shakes of powder into dry hands. Mix with water and rub together until you create a creamy lather. The recommended ratio is 2 parts water to 1 part powder. Apply to skin and massage gently with fingertips in a circular motion covering the face and neck. Rinse thoroughly and pat dry. Use 2–3 times per week, or as often as you need to.
2. Toner
Next, apply the Pineapple Refining Tonique, a dual-action acid and enzymatic tonique designed to gently exfoliate, visibly brighten and hydrate the skin. This exfoliating toner has a fresh pineapple scent and is formulated with PHA, enzymes (bromelain) and tranexamic acid. Working together, these ingredients team up to gently exfoliate and brighten the appearance of the skin. If you have sensitive skin, PHA is the exfoliating acid perfect for you. A non-irritating exfoliant, PHA targets the dryness associated with environmental stress while reducing the visible signs of aging. Because this acid focuses on surface-level penetration, sensitive skin types can apply this exfoliating ingredient without fear of irritation.
How To Use
After cleansing, apply an even layer onto the face and neck area with either your palms or a cotton round. Leave on. Start with one application every other day and increase to daily use if you do not experience irritation.
3. Exfoliant
The Strawberry Rhubarb Dermafoliant is formulated with gentle lactic acid, a blend of polishing flours and our Botanical Hyaluronic Acid Complex. Suitable for all skin types, this vegan exfoliant gently removes impurities and excess oil from the skin to reveal a visibly smooth, radiant complexion. This exfoliant is also suitable for all skin types.
How To Use
After cleansing, dispense a small amount of the exfoliant to the palm of your hand and add a few drops of water. Massage your hands together to create a creamy paste and apply to your face using gentle circular motions, careful to avoid the delicate areas around the eye. Massage into the skin before rinsing thoroughly with water and patting skin dry.
4. Mask
You’ll love the Mango Exfoliating Enzyme Masque to brighten up the look of your complexion. This refreshing gel mask resurfaces the skin with a dynamic trio of exfoliating fruit enzymes: papain, actinidin and bromelain. These enzymes reveal soft and radiant skin. This mask is also made with a blend of tropical superfoods, including luscious pineapple, mango and Kakadu plum, for a boost of vitamin C and antioxidants for visibly brighter-looking skin.
How To Use
Apply a small amount of product evenly over the entire face as well as the neck and the décolleté if desired. Allow to dry for 5–10 minutes. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water and use a face cloth if desired. Use 1–2 times per week, or as often as you’d like. Follow with sunscreen during the day.
5. Essence (Optional)
If you feel like your skin has lost its natural radiance, or that you have a compromised skin barrier, an optional step in your routine is adding an essence such as the Kombucha Microbiome Balancing Essence. This essence is formulated with pre, pro* and postbiotics to enhance the skin’s glow. It also primes the skin for all the products to follow in your skin care routine. You can learn more about pre, pro and postbiotic skin care in this guide.
How To Use
Dispense a small amount of product in your hands or on a cotton pad and pat it onto cleansed and toned skin. Leave on.
6. Serum
Tone and refresh the skin with the Strawberry Rhubarb Hyaluronic Serum. This luxe serum gives your skin a youthful-looking glow with hyaluronic acid, rhubarb and vitamin-rich strawberries. Strawberries have salicylic acid that maintains skin’s healthy look, while botanical hyaluronic acid is a hydrating ingredient that reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
How To Use
Apply a thin layer to cleansed skin once or twice daily. Leave on.
7. Concentrate
Immediately refresh and revitalize dull skin with the Mangosteen Daily Resurfacing Concentrate. A Lactic Acid Complex consisting of a proprietary blend of actives gently resurfaces the skin and refines pores for a more radiant, silky and youthful-looking complexion.
How To Use
Apply one to two pumps to cleansed skin once or twice daily. Leave it on.
8. Facial Oil
The Rosehip Triple C+E Firming Oil firms and plumps the skin and provides deep hydration for all skin types. Infused with rosehip, jojoba and seabuckthorn oils, this luxurious facial oil provides essential fatty acids, antioxidants and vitamins to improve the look of elasticity and texture.
How To Use
Apply a thin layer of oil (2–3 drops) to the face and neck with circular motions once or twice daily. Leave on. This oil can be followed with a moisturizer.
9. Moisturizer
The Arctic Berry Peptide Radiance Cream is a powerful daily moisturizer revealing radiant and smooth-looking skin. This luxurious cream is designed to soften the look of fine lines while adding a boost of hydration to the skin.
How To Use
Apply a layer of moisturizer over the entire face and neck area. Leave on. For a lighter application, emulsify a small amount of moisturizer in your hand with a few drops of water. For extra hydration, apply a thicker layer on dry areas.
10. Eye Cream
If you always seem to look tired even after 8 hours of sleep, this eye cream may be what you’re looking for. The Marine Flower Peptide Eye Cream is a rich formula that uses naturally derived plant peptides and innovative algae extracts to reduce the visible signs of aging. This formula provides hydration, improves the appearance of dark circles and decreases puffiness thanks to botanical peptides and a Smart Collagen+ Complex for smoother-looking skin.
How To Use
Apply to the entire eye area twice daily, patting gently with fingertips until fully absorbed. Leave it on.
11. SPF
Follow with an SPF, like our Radiant Protection SPF Fluid, for the protection skin needs during the day. SPF is essential to use every day, but you may find that your skin is particularly sensitive to sunlight after you’ve exfoliated.
How To Use
Shake well before use and dispense a ¼ - ½ teaspoon to start. Warm up in hands and apply liberally and evenly on cleansed face, neck & chest area, 15 minutes before sun exposure.
12. Add-In Boost
Blend the Superfood Booster-Powder into your moisturizer before application. This fine powder mixes with a cream moisturizer to target uneven skin tone, brighten the complexion and reduce the appearance of dark spots. Rich in the superfood Kakadu plum, the powder delivers the fruit's vitamin C antioxidants to the skin, helping minimize the look of dark spots.
As International Educator Brian Goodwin, says: “Vitamin C is crucial for achieving that coveted natural glow. The Superfood Booster-Powder is enhanced with Kakadu plum — an ultra-potent fruit that contains 30-50 times the vitamin C found in oranges.”
How To Use
Using the dosing spoon provided, add one leveled scoop of powder to a cream moisturizer in the palm of your hand. Mix well. Apply to the face and neck 1–2 times daily. Leave it on.

This mist also minimizes the look of environmental stress, improves skin tone and reduces the appearance of pores.
How To Use
Apply one to two sprays onto the face and neck or apply with a cotton pad, avoiding the eye area. Leave on. To refresh the complexion, you can re-apply anytime during the day.
