Revised from the original blog posted in 2020 written for the launch of the Terra Bella, the name of the limited edition rendition of the Cream III. The Terra Bella became so beloved as a rich, luxurious face cream that they made it a permanent staple in their skincare collection. Read below to find out what this face cream is all about & why we love it so much…
We are over the moon with excitement over the latest launch by Ayuna, meet Terra Bella. This product is the ultimate beauty innovation, incomparable to anything we have yet to see in the beauty & skincare industry. Isabel Ramos and Begoña San Juan, the ingenious duo behind Ayuna, crafted the first of its kind- emotional skincare. Utilizing the world’s most renowned ingredient in innovative skincare, cannabis sativa cell cultures, they developed a transformational product that not only benefits your skin, but your brains’ chemistry, enhancing it on a neuroscientific level (!!!). We’re over here geeking out whilst jumping up and down with excitement over the scientific breakthrough of skincare that makes you literally feel good.
Ayuna has been an up and coming brand in the beauty industry, especially when it comes to innovation. Ayuna’s take on developing luxury skincare backed by science and nature is both unique and profound. Founders Ramos and San Juan continue to execute incredibly healing, results-driven products that are both chic & highly functional. Their deep dedication to discovering and sourcing ingredients that are clean, green and natural has led them to develop beneficial beauty products that are changing the standards of the green beauty industry, for the better.
Before we get into this incredible new product, let’s quickly pay homage to a couple other incredible beauty innovations that Ayuna has birthed into the beauty world. First, we have to mention our recent obsession with The Facial. This probiotic refining concentrate is a liquid lotion/toner and is a clean, natural dupe for the infamous Biologique P50 product (except better) and we are HERE for it. This is an absolute hero product that we highly recommend for any skin type.
Enticing the senses and exploring the connection between physical products and the play on our emotional bodies, Ayuna Dojo. is a fragrance unlike any other. A complex and beautiful blend of natural botanicals, this perfume uses the science of aromatherapy to enhance and elevate your mood. We’re so obsessed with their mission to use beauty products to induce positive emotions and heighten our experiences on a mind, body and spirit level.
Now, getting into the real star of the show, Terra Bella. This multi-functional cream emulsion is quite literally a conscious revolution in beauty. Pulling back the veil on the trending use of CBD in beauty, Terra Bella shows up and shows out with the real deal, the first-ever topical cannabis sativa stem cell cultures. CBD skin care products are continuously popping up on the shelves of just about every store, from your high end boutique to your local supermarket and while we love a good CBD product, there is a lot of market hype and claims being made surrounding its benefits to the brain.
Backed by a multitude of scientific studies and an incredible about of research, the molecular cannabic cocktail used in Terra Bella triggers the sensory system which creates a noticeable increase in oxytocin, the “love hormone.” The oxytocin production literally boosts our mood, has a positive effect on our emotional state and is proven to increase one’s magnetic resonance, making us more attractive on a subtle energy level.
Utilizing the combination of the cannabis stem cells and plasmas rich in cell factors from turmeric cultures, the skin to brain connection is activated, stimulating not only radiant, sublime skin, but an elevated emotional response. The second of the two star ingredients, turmeric curcumin cultures, work to neutralize the effects of cortisol, the stress hormone, on the skin.
The two powerhouse ingredients are reinforced with lipid-replenishing jojoba, Candelilla and rice bran waxes which blend together to create a finish that is rich and velvety to the touch. Nutrient replenishing, sublimated grape water, known as “living water”, has an optimal bioelectric pH balance for the revitalization of the skin’s moisture content and retention. To round out the stellar list of ingredients, Terra Bella hosts Lactobacillus and coconut nucifera fermentation which are post-biotics for the skin. The peptide technology maintains the balance of the skin’s microbiome by promoting the beneficial microorganisms, similar to what your daily probiotic does for your gut (remember, it is all interconnected). These ingredients work to protect the skin against bacteria, yeasts and molds.
Terra Bella’s innovative formulation gets us really jazzed up for many reasons, but if we failed to mention all of the actual, tangible benefits of using the product, we wouldn’t be doing it justice. If you’re after a skincare product that activates the skin’s natural repair system, stimulates cell regeneration, strengthens the skin’s barrier, protects against pollutants, stress and anxiety, nourishes and hydrates the skin leaving it supple, soft and smooth, diminishes signs of fatigue and dehydration, and promotes skin longevity then you have your answer in this beautifully packaged skincare masterpiece.
The integrity of Terra Bella comes full circle with the packaging where no attention to detail was spared. Isabel Ramos and Begoña San Juan had a serious vision when developing Terra Bella, a vision that included a ceramic vessel that doubles as vanity art. Designed at a ceramic atelier in Valencia, Spain the Terra vessel is a delicately crafted representation of Mother nature herself, in all her elegance.
“Just as skin is the most perfect and pure vessel that holds your inner being, ceramic is the most natural and respectful vessel to hold our innovations.” – Begoña San Juan, Co-Founder of Ayuna
From the ultra-rich texture to the supple hydration, to the feel good, oxytocin producing, mood enhancing wellness vibe, this product has got it going on. Terra Bella is an overall immersive beauty experience that is not one to pass by.
