Question 1

How do Velune products help support the skins barrier?

Accepted Answer

At Velune, we design every product with the skin barrier as our starting point. Instead of stripping or overloading, our approach is to replenish, defend, and balance.

• We work with plant-derived lipids chosen for their similarity to the skin’s own barrier, helping to restore moisture and prevent water loss.
 • Our use of whole-plant infusions captures a wide spectrum of phytonutrients that calm visible irritation and support natural resilience.
 • We integrate antioxidants and supportive actives to reduce oxidative stress, a major factor in barrier breakdown.
 • Every formula is guided by the principle of gentleness and compatibility, ensuring products work with the skin, not against it.

This philosophy runs through all Velune products: formulations that strengthen the barrier, soothe sensitivity, and help skin return to balance and luminosity over time.

By replenishing essential fatty acids and unsaponifiable's, reducing lipid peroxidation with antioxidants, and providing a soft occlusive veil that slows water loss. The result is improved comfort, smoother texture, and a calmer appearance over time.

Question 2

Who are Velune products for?

Accepted Answer

Velune is thoughtfully formulated for all skin types and all ages. Our slow whole-plant extractions and carefully chosen actives are lightweight, non-comedogenic, and calming, making them suitable for oily, dry, sensitive, or mature skin alike. Each formula is designed to support the skin barrier, restore balance, and enhance natural radiance without excess or irritation.

Question 3

Can my skin break out when I start a new product?

Accepted Answer

When introducing any new product, especially those rich in nutrients, oils, or actives — the skin may go through a short adjustment phase. Temporary breakouts or changes in texture can occur as the skin recalibrates, or with shifts in climate and routine. These are usually short-lived. Our formulas are crafted to be gentle and suitable for all skin types, designed to support balance, comfort, and long-term skin health.

Question 4

Are Velune products non-comedogenic?

Accepted Answer

They’re designed with low-to-moderate comedogenic-risk oils and a lightweight finish. Skin is personal, so we recommend patch testing, especially if you’re congestion-prone to confirm compatibility.

Question 5

Does diet and lifestyle affect how my skin responds to skincare?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Skincare is one part of a bigger picture. Diet, sleep, stress levels, hydration, and environment all play a role in how skin looks and feels. While Velune products are designed to nourish and support the skin barrier externally, looking after your internal health will always complement and enhance results.

Question 6

What is the 500-Dalton Rule?

Accepted Answer

As a guide, molecules smaller than ~500 Daltons can pass more readily through the skin’s outer layer.

In practice, we formulate for two complementary outcomes:

• Penetration of smaller molecules (e.g., many antioxidants and lipids) into the upper layers.
 • Surface-level “reservoir” protection from larger, oil-soluble antioxidants that help defend and condition the stratum corneum.

Both together support healthier, more resilient skin.

Question 7

Oil vs water extractions - what’s the difference? Understanding plant solubility in skincare.

Accepted Answer

Plant chemistry is complex. Different compounds dissolve in different mediums, water extracts hydrophilic molecules such as polysaccharides and mucilage, while oils extract lipid-soluble compounds like antioxidants, carotenoids, and phytosterols. Neither is superior; each serves a distinct function.

Velune’s formulations are intentionally water-free. By focusing on lipidic compounds, our infusions deliver the elements that integrate directly with the skin’s own lipid barrier, supporting repair, moisture retention, and radiance, without relying on water, preservatives, or stabilisers.

This approach preserves purity and potency, allowing each plant to express its most bioavailable, skin-compatible fraction.
