At Ayelet, every formula is a meditation on nature’s rhythms, ancestral wisdom, and the deep connection between skin health and inner balance.
Our newest creation, the Hygieia Exfoliating Cleanser, is named in honor of Hygieia, the revered goddess of health and cleanliness in ancient Greek mythology. Just as the goddess embodied purity and protection, this cleanser transforms your skincare routine into a sacred ritual of renewal. Drawing inspiration from the time-honored beauty rituals of East and South Asia, Hygieia is more than just a cleanser—it is an invitation to embrace health, clarity, and luminous radiance.
A Story of Origins: Where Beauty and Myth Converge
From the sacred temples of India to the serene Japanese tea gardens, beauty traditions have always celebrated the healing power of botanicals. For centuries, these rituals have nurtured not only the skin but also the spirit, reminding us that true beauty is an art of self-care and balance. In naming our cleanser Hygieia, we pay tribute to the goddess who personifies clean and wholesome well-being.
Our formulation draws on these ancient practices, fusing revered ingredients with modern botanical science. This is where myth meets modernity, a cleanser designed to gently exfoliate, deeply nourish, and prepare your skin for the day with the purity inspired by a timeless deity.
