Discover SUS Wellbeing and the Velvet Leaf Hydrating Serum

Skincare is a very personal thing, what works for one person, doesn’t always for the next. While we often all like different ingredients, textures and routines. However, there is one thing many of us are doing with skincare these days and that is looking at both the ingredients and ethos of the brand before we decide to buy. So if you are looking for a new brand to check out then this is the post for you.

SUS Wellbeing is a conscious skincare and wellbeing brand that brings together botanical ingredients, science and a focus on caring for both ourselves as well as the world around us.

Meet SUS Wellbeing

SUS Wellbeing was created around the idea that self-care and care for the planet should go hand in hand. They take inspiration from nature while using science-backed ingredients to create products designed to support skin affected by the stresses of modern life.

At the heart of its approach is what SUS calls “slow ageing”. Rather than focusing on turning back the clock, its formulas are designed to support the skin’s natural ability to renew, recover and maintain a healthy-looking glow.

Sustainability is also a core value for SUS Wellbeing, which they incorporate into all parts of the process from the ingredients used to the packaging they come in. 

Introducing the Velvet Leaf Essential Hydrating Serum

One of the stand out products within the SUS Wellbeing range is the Velvet Leaf Essential Hydrating Serum.

Designed to hydrate, soothe and support the skin, Velvet Leaf combines a variety of botanical extracts with well-known skincare ingredients. The formula contains 96% naturally derived ingredients and is free from microplastics.

Among its ingredients are niacinamide, sodium hyaluronate, bakuchiol, aloe vera, green tea, quince, willow bark and plantain extracts. These have been brought together to create a formula which has been made to support hydration while helping skin look smoother, plumper and more even.

Velvet Leaf also contains snail secretion filtrate, often known as snail mucin. This is an ingredient that has become increasingly popular thanks to Korean-inspired skincare and is included in the serum for its hydrating and skin-supporting properties. However, be aware this is an animal-derived ingredient, however it can be harvested without harming a snail as it is made from the trail they leave behind them. 

When it comes to the packaging, the serum comes in a glass container with a wooden lid and a biodegradable paper label. SUS encourages customers to reuse the jars where possible or contact the brand about returning empty packaging, supporting its aim of moving towards a more circular approach. SUS Wellbeing hosts regular wellness events in London, where they happily receive back empty jars to give them a second life.

Adding Velvet Leaf to a Skincare Routine

SUS recommends applying Velvet Leaf in the morning and evening after cleansing and if you use a toner or facial mist, this can be applied first before gently massaging the serum over the face and around the eye area.

It can then be followed with a moisturiser or SPF day cream, depending on the time of day.

While skincare will always be individual, Velvet Leaf could be an interesting option for those looking to explore botanical skincare or add more hydration to their routine.
