Hello and welcome The spellbinding natural beauty surrounding the Wellbeing Spa starts to work its magic as soon as you arrive. A sanctuary by the sea, a serene space to support your wellbeing. We have chosen to partner with Elemental Herbology, a natural skin and body care brand that aims to provide ultimate skin nutrition by combining the most innovative ingredient technology with natural botanicals to transform your skin and improve your wellbeing.
Five-element theory is the belief that all life is comprised of and ruled by the five elements of nature – wood, fire, earth, metal, water – and that these elements need to work in harmony to achieve a state of perfect equilibrium. They believe your skin needs a balance of all the elements, and that balance depends on your skin type, your lifestyle, the season and a range of environmental factors. Your Elemental Herbology prescription will comprise of products from a mix of our ranges, depending on what your skin needs to achieve balance now.
Elemental Herbology launched in 2008 and in just over a decade their products have won them accolades in Vogue, endorsements by beauty gurus including Lisa Eldridge and Sali Hughes, industry awards, and a place on the treatment menu in some of the world’s best spas.
Step inside, your elemental journey awaits... we look forward to bringing the balance back in to your life.
From the start they wanted to create a different kind of skin and body care range. One that drew on their twin passions for plant-based beauty, and the five-element theory – the ancient philosophy which is the cornerstone of traditional Chinese medicine.
