Zones

Nine real-world regions identified through global scientific research,

characterized by stable skin health indicators across multiple biophysical parameters.

DecorazioneDecorazione

We call them Aurora

because they represent transition in skin health.
The Nine Aurora Zones identify regions where skin health remains stable and resilient across environmental, biological, and chronological change-offering insight into long-term skin longevity.
Defined by Measurable Skin Health Patterns

A Skin Longevity Zone is identified through comparative scientific research analyzing measurable indicators of skin health across populations. These indicators include hydration balance, barrier integrity, elasticity, oxidative balance, tolerance, and long-term stability. Zones are defined where these parameters consistently demonstrate stable performance over time rather than short-term optimization.

Based on Biophysical and Clinical Skin Parameters

Each Skin Longevity Zone is characterized through the evaluation of 28 biophysical skin parameters assessed via dermatological studies and instrumental measurements. These parameters allow objective comparison of skin function across regions, providing insight into how skin maintains balance, resilience, and functional integrity under different conditions.

Correlated with Skin Condition Prevalence and External Factors

Beyond biophysical measurements, Skin Longevity Zones integrate additional datasets linked to skin health outcomes. These include prevalence rates of common skin conditions, patterns of skincare use, nutritional factors interacting with skin function, environmental purity indicators, and local botanical biodiversity. Together, these elements help explain why skin health patterns differ across regions.

Identified Through Consistency

Skin Longevity Zones are not defined by isolated results or exceptional cases. They are identified where skin health indicators show consistency, coherence, and resilience across time and conditions. These zones represent regions where skin function remains balanced and stable, offering reliable reference points for understanding long-term skin health.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about the product and billing.

What is a Skin Longevity Zone?
A Skin Longevity Zone is a geographic region identified through years of global research where skin tends to age more slowly and maintain balance, resilience, and vitality over time. These zones share environmental, cultural, and botanical factors that support long-term skin health.
How were the Nine Skin Longevity Zones identified?
The Nine Zones were identified through a multi-year research process combining global field exploration, ingredient analysis, skin physiology data, and pattern recognition across diverse populations. Zones were selected based on consistency, recurrence, and alignment with measurable skin-supportive factors.
How do ingredients relate to each Skin Longevity Zone?
Each zone is associated with botanicals and natural actives traditionally used in that region and selected for their functional role in supporting the skin. These ingredients inspire the formulations by reflecting the environmental conditions and skin needs observed in each zone.
Are products formulated using ingredients from all Nine Zones?
Yes. Each ritual combines ingredients inspired by multiple Skin Longevity Zones, working together to support the skin throughout the day, night, and targeted care moments. The formulations are designed as holistic systems rather than single-ingredient solutions.
Where can I learn more about the research and formulations?
You can explore the Travel Diaries to discover the research journeys behind each zone and ingredient, or visit the ingredient profiles and rituals pages for deeper insights into formulation philosophy, origin, and intended skin benefits.
