Elixir Ancien smooths the complexion and provides supreme nourishment. Blended by hand in a monastery, these natural oils absorb quickly to deliver the most precious ingredients in their purest forms. These oils must be poured in a particular sequence at a determined temperature - requirements that can only be met by hand. Fresh turned to a monastery to hand-blend each bottle because monks are an important part of Elixir Ancien's heritage. Historically, if a formula was not produced by a monk, it was considered witchcraft. Without them, the original formula would not exist today. 97% felt their skin was nourished 87% reported more moisturised, supple skin 84% noticed a soothing and smoothing effect *In vivo.
