A ritual does not need to be complicated to be meaningful.
The Ivy & Onyx approach begins with thoughtful formulas, follows the natural rhythm of the skin, and creates space to slow down while you care for yourself.
Use each step as a guide rather than a rule. Choose what your skin needs, move with intention, and allow the ritual to become your own.
The Facial Ritual
A complete facial ritual moves from the lightest formulas to the richest, allowing each product to prepare the skin for what follows.
01. Cleanse
Begin by removing the day.
Massage cleanser over damp skin using slow, circular movements. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water and gently pat dry.
Cleansing removes surface buildup, excess oil, sunscreen, and impurities while preparing the skin to receive the rest of the ritual.
02. Tone
Rebalance and refresh.
Press or sweep toner over clean skin, avoiding unnecessary friction. Allow it to settle before moving into your treatment formulas.
Toning helps replenish the skin after cleansing and creates a hydrated foundation for the steps that follow.
03. Apply Serum
Choose your focus.
Smooth a few drops of serum across the face and neck, pressing gently into the skin. Serums deliver concentrated hydration and targeted actives in a lightweight layer.
Your serum may be chosen to support hydration, radiance, barrier health, texture, or another specific skin concern.
04. Care for the Eyes
Use an eye serum, eye cream, or both depending on your needs.
Apply a small amount around the orbital area using the lightest touch. Gently tap the formula into the skin rather than pulling or rubbing.
When using both, apply the eye serum first and follow with eye cream to seal in moisture.
05. Moisturize
Comfort the skin and protect its moisture balance.
Massage moisturizer over the face, neck, and décolletage using upward movements. This final nourishing layer helps support softness, hydration, and the skin barrier.
06. Protect
Complete every morning ritual with broad-spectrum sun protection.
Apply generously to the face, neck, and any exposed skin as the final step of your routine. Reapply throughout the day as needed.
Ivy & Onyx sun protection is coming soon.
The Weekly Renewal
Once or twice each week, use a facial scrub after cleansing and before toner.
Massage gently over damp skin, using light circular movements. Avoid aggressive pressure and allow the formula to do the work.
Rinse thoroughly, then continue with toner, serum, eye care, and moisturizer.
The Ivy & Onyx Face & Body Scrub is coming soon.
The Body Ritual
Cleanse, Renew, Nourish
Body care is not separate from skincare. The skin below the neck deserves the same intention, consistency, and care.
01. Cleanse
Massage your chosen Hand & Body Wash over damp skin until a soft botanical lather forms.
Rinse thoroughly and allow the fragrance to settle into the space around you.
Our plant-derived cleansing formulas are designed to remove daily buildup while helping the skin feel comfortable rather than stripped.
02. Exfoliate
Renew the surface of the skin with gentle, intentional exfoliation.
Massage the Face & Body Scrub over damp skin, focusing on areas prone to roughness, dryness, or uneven texture. Use light circular movements and rinse thoroughly.
Use one to three times per week depending on your skin and its needs.
The Ivy & Onyx Face & Body Scrub is coming soon.
03. Smooth
Apply body cream or body serum while the skin is still slightly damp.
Massage slowly over the body, giving additional attention to dry areas such as the elbows, knees, hands, and lower legs.
Use a richer cream when the skin needs deeper comfort, or choose a lightweight body serum when you want hydration with a faster-absorbing finish.
04. Seal
Finish with body oil to soften the skin and help seal in moisture.
Warm a small amount between the palms, then press and smooth it over the body. Use it alone or layer it over body serum or cream for a more nourishing ritual.
Ivy & Onyx Body Oil is coming soon.

A Ritual That Changes With You
Some days call for every step. Others may require only cleansing, hydration, and rest.
Listen to your skin. Adjust with the seasons. Layer thoughtfully. Return to the products that make you feel supported, grounded, and cared for.
The ritual is not about perfection.
It is about creating a moment that brings you back to yourself.
Begin where you are. Choose what you need. Make the ritual your own.
“Care is not another task. It is a way of returning to yourself.”
