Velo [x]

An advanced iteration of the beloved Velo, Velo [x] is a next-generation defense supraserum, expertly crafted to counteract the detrimental effects of the exposome. A blend of eight powerful properties protect the skin interdependently, acting as a shield to repel pollution, prevent the absorption of contaminating particles, and visibly reduce dyschromia and dark spots for a more radiant complexion. 

Like its predecessor, Velo [x] protects the skin with high concentrations of titanium and zinc oxide that sit on the outermost layer of the skin to reflect light. The moisture barrier is fortified with time-released vegan hyaluronate - the highest molecular weight hyaluronic acid - and potent antioxidants, including polyphenols and chromophores. The integration of lipids like acacia, mimosa and jojoba waxes mitigate thermal stress and maintain skin’s suppleness.

Distinct from the original, Velo [x] elevates skin defenses by enriching the part of the microbiotic ecosystem known as the Photobiota Factor with cell phyto-fusion. This technology draws on pomegranate and Arabian cotton to produce postbiotics like urolithins and melanins that support cellular renewal while improving skin texture and elasticity. Magnesium bolsters the skin’s immunological barrier.

With its non-nano, creamy tint, Velo [x] seamlessly blends into the skin, creating a refined soft-focus effect.

Note: While Velo [x] contains a variety of natural pigments, including zinc and titanium oxide (white pigments), as well as red, yellow, and black pigments that together create the unique environmental protection in Velo [x] that has been clinically studied, the resulting color of Velo [x] is a result of the protection in the formula, not an attempt to create a tinted product. Velo [x] blends well, but due to the high dose of colored minerals in the formula, some people might prefer to use it as a serum or primer under their makeup products.

HOW TO USE IT

Apply daily in the morning to protect the skin throughout the day. Distribute with the fingertips on the face, neck, and neckline. For very dry skin, it is recommended to apply after your face moisturizer. This will help provide additional hydration. For combination/oily skin, it can be applied directly to clean skin to ensure optimal absorption. Shake well before use.

ABOUT THIS BRAND

Ayuna was founded by Isabel Ramos and Begoña Sanjuan, two seasoned beauty professionals with a vision for innovation. Begoña is a master esthetician, passionate beauty industry professional and expert in product development, Spa and Wellness therapies and aesthetic treatments. Dr. Isabel Ramos has a PhD in chemistry and is an expert in Green Technology and the development of natural cosmetics with a unique understanding the science of the skin, biochemical and biophysical mechanisms and the art of product textures.

Through Ayuna's essential skincare products, Begoña and Isabel introduce a whole new dimension to how to treat the skin based on topical fasting and well-aging. Topical fasting has the same basis as general fasting; eliminate overstimulation, limit intake and provide a balanced diet to allow for self-repair and self-regeneration mechanisms to be immediately activated. Well-aging applies the principles of epigenetics and the brain-skin connection to refocus our view of skin aging. Research shows that our thoughts, lifestyle and environment can alter our DNA. Ayuna skincare embraces this research, with a slow and intentional approach to aging that gives us the space to connect with beauty in a positive way and adapt the teachings of mindfulness to the realm of beauty. Begoña and Isabel’s experience in skincare, combined with their extensive understanding of the sophisticated beauty client, active ingredients and application methodology led them to a natural evolution in the field of skincare. From this alliance of knowledge and experience Ayuna, Less Is Beauty was born – an evolutionary scientific-botanical approach to cosmetics that favors simple beauty and a commitment to pure, effective and clean cosmetics.
