the By Achilles difference
at by Achilles we focus on what’s inside the bottle and let our formulas speak for themselves.
we are proud to be an artisanal skincare brand, and we want to create unique pieces of skincare + wellness products and keep the control over the process of all of our products from start to finish. we source our ingredients directly from the suppliers, and we even get to visit them once in a while.
we are committed to our process of serving you unparalleled quality, efficacy and freshness in our unique and transformative formulas.
the better our ingredients are, the better they work on your skin. that’s why we source ingredients that are organic, wildcrafted, and local whenever possible.
we believe & know that the potency of our skincare products differs from many, due to the high percentage of organic, pure, supercritical and undiluted CO₂ extracts we use in the formulas.
CO₂ extracts are different from other extracts because they do not rely on harsh chemicals or high temperatures to extract the desired compound from the plant. This results in an ingredient that contains higher levels of bioactives. For instance, our rosehip CO₂ extract serum has higher levels of beta-carotene than the cold-pressed oil, and you can see that from the deep reddish colour in the final product pictured here, while our frankincense CO₂ extract spot serum has healing triterpenes that don't make it into just the essential oil used in skincare normally.
CO₂ extraction leads to a better quality product with greater concentrations of crucial bioactives like carotenoids, polyphenols, and triterpenes. It is a petroleum-free method of extraction that runs on a closed loop and has little negative environmental impact. Sustainable and higher quality - what more could you ask for?
