Products & Formulation
-
No. All CHB formulas are completely water-free. Unlike conventional skincare products that can contain up to 95% water, our formulations are made with 100% active ingredients. We handcraft every base infusion in-house using proprietary botanical recipes, often macerated or extracted over weeks or even months to preserve the full therapeutic potential of each plant. Every ingredient is intentional, concentrated, and chosen for its functional benefits. No dilution, no fillers, no shortcuts.
-
Our formulas are suitable for all skin types and all seasons, including sensitive, acne-prone, mature, and combination skin. Designed to support well-aging and work in synergy with the skin’s natural rhythms, they help address the root causes of imbalance such as inflammaging through skin biohacking strategies and bioengineered actives.
Thanks to adaptogenic botanical ingredients, each product adapts to your skin’s current needs, promoting resilience and regeneration. Every formula is water-free, highly concentrated, and free from alcohols, synthetic chemicals, and other sensitizing agents, making them particularly safe even for reactive or delicate skin.
-
All Cecilia Holistic Beauty products are 100% vegan and certified cruelty-free, with the sole exception of the manuka honey used in our antioxidant pret-à-porter serum Les Jeux, which is sustainably and ethically harvested in the wild. We never test on animals, and none of our other raw materials come from animal origin.
-
Yes, some formulas contain cold-pressed oils or butters derived from seeds or nuts (such as almond or shea), as well as coconut-based emollients. All our ingredients are carefully sourced and of the highest quality. On each product page, you’ll find a full ingredient list that specifies whether ingredients are certified organic or wild-crafted. Please review carefully if you have allergies.
-
Yes. Our water-free formulas are designed to be breathable and non-comedogenic, free from occlusive silicones and heavy oils. We carefully select oils with a low comedogenic index to ensure optimal compatibility with all skin types, including acne-prone and sensitive skin. Our products support the skin’s natural detoxification and regeneration without clogging pores.
-
Most of our products are suitable for use during pregnancy and breastfeeding. However, as every individual is different and some botanicals or actives may be contraindicated in specific cases, we
always recommend consulting your physician or our team for tailored advice. We also offer personalized skincare consultations to help you create the ideal routine throughout pregnancy and postpartum, with full attention to ingredient safety and skin changes during this unique phase. -
Fragrance is a deeply personal and carefully curated aspect of our formulations. Our founder, Dr. Cecilia Perotti, holds a master’s degree in fragrance chemistry and allergenology, a field particularly close to her heart. That’s why at CHB we never use synthetic perfumes or potentially sensitizing blends.
Most of our formulas are entirely fragrance-free, where you’ll breathe nothing but the subtle scent of Mother Nature in her purest form. When scent is present, it comes only from trace amounts of soothing, therapeutic botanical extracts such as rose absolute, violet leaf, blue chamomile, and blue tansy, selected not only for their calming and anti-inflammatory properties, but for their skin compatibility even on the most reactive skin types.
Usage & Routine
-
Yes, in most cases our formulas complement other active ingredients beautifully. However, since our products are already rich in botanical retinoids, peptides, and antioxidants, layering too many actives may overstimulate the skin. We suggest gradually introducing CHB formulas into your routine and monitoring your skin’s response.
If you're unsure how to integrate CHB products into your existing routine, feel free to contact our WhatsApp concierge or email our team for personalized advice. We also offer private consultations to help you build your ideal protocol based on your skin’s specific needs.
-
Absolutely. CHB was born from the need to create clean, powerful, yet ultra-gentle skincare. Our products are free from alcohols, synthetic fragrances, harsh surfactants, and the most aggressive or allergenic essential oils, making them particularly suitable for reactive, intolerant, or sensitized skin types. Many of our formulas are also infused with anti-inflammatory actives and topical probiotics, carefully selected to calm, balance, and strengthen the skin barrier.
-
Yes. Even though our products are formulated to be as gentle as possible, we always recommend a patch test before full use, especially if you have a history of allergies or sensitivities. To help you test and explore our formulations, we also offer curated mini-size kits tailored to different skin types, perfect for discovering your ideal routine before committing to full-size products.
