LUCA

A Daily Antioxidant System That Transforms How Skin Functions

A bio-fermented lipid vitamin C treatment that restores the skin barrier while delivering deep, stable antioxidant protection—without irritation. Designed to renew, protect, hydrate and activate the skin





Most skincare treats symptoms. LUCA is built on lipid delivery, bio-fermentation, and cellular actives. Working through a 3-layer skin transformation system: Renew → Protect → Activate.

A Lipid–Biotech Purification Treatment
—For Skin, Scalp, And Hair

ZUCI is a barrier-conscious cleansing system designed to remove lipid-based impurities while preserving the structures essential to skin, scalp and hair health.

Formulated with biomimetic lipids, enzyme fermentation and targeted bioactives, it redefines cleansing as a controlled, non-disruptive process.

Reprograms Skin Performance

A Dual-Phase Innovation: Lipid Delivery + Bio-Fermentation

Unlike traditional botanical oils that rely on surface-level nourishment, LUCA is built on a lipid delivery system combined with bio-fermented actives—designed to optimise how skin receives, processes, and retains active ingredients. Where conventional formulas focus on stimulating the skin, LUCA prioritises preserving its structural integrity, 

Delivery System

protecting collagen and reinforcing the barrier against daily oxidative stress. Built in a lipid matrix and powered by bio-fermentation, it delivers vitamin C in a form your skin recognises, absorbs, and retains—without triggering inflammation. This system transforms how vitamin C functions within the skin.

HOLISTIC RESULTS

BOTANICAL INFUSION
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
+ Jojoba Seed Oil: Is the only plant to store liquid wax in its seeds, with the same molecular structure as the natural oils found in healthy human skin, making it skin bio-compatible. Jojoba strengthens the barrier function, helping to reduce transepidermal water loss (TEWL) and retain hydration. A rich source of antioxidants, omegas and Vitamins A, D and E. Australian Golden Jojoba is artisan-crafted by a small-batch producer.

+ Emu Bush Leaf: 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 Antimicrobials. Wildcrafted in Australia.

+ Strawberry Gum Leaf: Rich in antioxidants, potentially protecting cells from oxidative stress and contributing to overall skin wellbeing. Wildcrafted in Australia.

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 have rosacea and no matter what product for sensitive/reactive skin, I have tried, my cheeks always look flushed. The first time I used LUCA in the morning, a couple hours later when I looked in the mirror the redness in my cheeks was almost completely gone! I was absolutely amazed.
