TANU
Multi Phyto-Retinol Clarifying Concentrate
A next-generation treatment serum designed to deliver the visible benefits of plant sourced retinol through a gentler lipid-based renewal system.
At the centre of the formula are two bioactive ingredients that work synergistically to stimulate renewal, improve texture and support collagen function while remaining compatible with sensitive skin.
The skin is not forced to renew—
It is guided back into optimal function.
Renew → Refine → Rebuild

Retinoid Function. Intact Barrier.
Skin Affinity Coactive Serum
Coenzyme Q10 is a lipid-soluble compound found in every human cell
It plays a key role in mitochondrial energy production, helping cells convert nutrients into energy and providing antioxidant protection against free radicals and environmental stress.
As natural CoQ10 levels decline with age, topical application helps restore skin vitality and resilience. This highly effective antioxidant cosmetic active integrates into the skin’s lipid matrix, making it particularly suitable for topical delivery.
Support for Cellular Energy
- Plays a role in mitochondrial energy production (ATP synthesis) within skin cells
- Supports cellular function and renewal, contributing to healthier-looking skin
- Helps improve overall skin vitality and radiance
- Defend against environmental aging photoaging
- Protect and stabilise the skin barrier
- Reduces signs of wrinkle depth and and visible signs of photoaging.
A lipid-affinity delivery system designed to maximise botanical renewal while preserving skin stability.
The system combines:
– Lipid-compatible delivery carriers
– Biomimetic barrier-support lipids
– Precision-dispersed bioactive renewal actives
This creates a targeted delivery network that:
+ Supports gradual active release
+ Enhances skin compatibility
+ Improves visible renewal without irritation
+ Concurrent barrier reinforcement
The Retinol Response Matrix allows renewal actives to work in a way that feels progressive, controlled and skin-respecting.
MECHANISM OF ACTION
TANU works by activating cellular renewal pathways without the disruption commonly associated with retinoids.
SYTENOL A (Bakuchiol) helps stimulate collagen production, improve elasticity and reduce the appearance of fine lines while regulating visible skin ageing.
AROLEAT SAMPHIRA (Sea Fennel) supports natural epidermal renewal by encouraging gentle keratinocyte turnover, refining texture and improving skin clarity.
PRO-VITAMIN A COMPLEX
Pro-Vitamin A Complex is essentially a network of carotenoid-rich botanical lipids that feed into the skin’s natural retinoid pathway—without the volatility of direct retinol.
Sea Buckthorn Pulp CO₂, Rosehip Fruit and Seed CO₂, Carrot Root CO₂, and cold pressed Cacay oil—deliver compounds such as β-carotene, α-carotene, and other provitamin A carotenoids, which the skin can enzymatically convert—on demand—into biologically active retinoic acid.
Rather than forcing a rapid, high-dose retinoid signal (as with synthetic retinol), this system modulates the retinol cascade upstream, allowing the skin to regulate conversion based on its own needs. This aligns with a slower, adaptive “retinol response” rather than an aggressive one.
Within the RETINOL RESPONSE MATRIX, our Pro-Vitamin A Complex functions as: “The Signal Modulator” - It initiates and sustains retinoid activity without triggering inflammation, allowing complementary actives SYTENOL A and AROLEAT SAMPHIRA to amplify results through parallel pathways.

Botanical Synergies
unique alchemy
True artisan luxury is a patient craft. Our in-house process uses certified organic botanicals, expertly infused for 90 days under controlled parameters of light, air and temperature exposure. This slow method preserves delicate plant compounds, capturing the lipid-rich phyto-nutrients your skin naturally recognises and uses.
CRAFTING UNIQUE SYNERGIES
+ Cold-pressed Camellia Seed Oil: (Camellia Oleifera) has emollient and antioxidant properties, abundant in well-aging nutrients including Oleic and Linoleic Acids, Squalane, Vitamin E, Vitamin A, and skin beneficial minerals.
+ Emu Bush: (Eremophila Alternifolia) Indigenous people consider Emu Bush to be the most sacred and mystical plant species found in central Australia. Records note the leaves used by Indigenous tribes to wash sores and cuts. In the past decade, the leaves have been shown to have the same strength as established antibiotics. Wildcrafted in Australia.
+ Green Tea Leaf: (Camellia Sinensis) First Harvest Green Tea Leaf has elevated Amino Acids, Methylxanthine and Theanine found only in a first harvest. The highest concentrations of catechins and polyphenols are known to fight free radicals and promote healthy skin aging. Organically grown in Australia.
+ Ginkgo Leaf: (Ginkgo Biloba) Contains high levels of antioxidants that can help protect the skin against oxidative damage caused by free radicals. Organically grown in Australia.
WHY TANU IS DIFFERENT
TANU does not rely on aggressive correction. Instead, it utilises retinoid analogues, bio-ferments, and lipid-compatible actives to influence keratinocyte behaviour, sebum activity, and enzymatic pathways—while maintaining barrier integrity.
This enables continuous renewal without inflammation, sensitivity, or compromise.
CLINICAL FUNCTION
+ Supports epidermal renewal to improve overall skin texture and tone.
+ Helps regulate excess sebum, reducing the appearance of congestion and visible pores.
+ Promotes gentle exfoliation to assist in smoothing and refining the skin surface.
+ Improves the appearance of firmness and early signs of ageing.
+ Provides antioxidant protection to help defend against environmental stressors.
+ Supports the skin barrier to maintain hydration and reduce visible sensitivity.
$145.00
Delivering retinoid-level activity through a barrier-compatible system, it refines texture, regulates sebum, and restores epidermal density—without irritation or disruption.
- This ceramide-rich system reinforces the stratum corneum, helping to reduce transepidermal water loss, strengthen barrier integrity, and protect against environmental stressors.
- By replenishing lipids lost through aging and external damage, it supports smoother texture, improved elasticity, and long-lasting hydration.
- Ceramides rebuild intercellular structure, fatty acids restore lipid balance, and sterols enhance resilience—resulting in skin that feels calmer, stronger, and visibly healthier.

Details Matter
- Sustainable/recyclable packaging
- Our Handcrafted Hearts are made by a Women's Co-op in Nepal, supporting local communities
- Vegan and/or Plant-based
- Palm (RSPO Mass Balance)
- Cruelty-free
- GMO-free/Gluten Free
- A skin patch test should be undertaken before incorporating any new self-care product into your routine.
- After application, massage the skin with your hands or a facial tool to help relax both muscles and your mind.
- Apply onto damp skin for enhanced absorption.
- When layering skincare products, allow ample time for each product to absorb/dry down before applying the next. This prevents the final layer from 'sitting' and not absorbing into the skin where the HPAs do their best 'work'!
I can't tell you how nice and healthy my skin is after using Tanu Skin Affinity Coactive Serum for over a year!!!! I don't need any makeup, and my skin is "thicker" (more collagen), with less visible broken capillaries and less oily.
