From the botanical oils that started it all to a more considered collection of creams, lotions and skincare treatments.
There are moments in a brand's life when evolution feels inevitable.
Not because what came before wasn't good enough.
But because you discover something worth exploring further.
For Lux Aestiva, that journey began with botanical oils.
Beautiful oils. Thoughtfully chosen ingredients. Simple formulations created to leave skin nourished, soft and beautifully cared for.
They were the beginning of Lux Aestiva — and they remain an important part of who we are.
But over time, our understanding of botanical skincare has grown.
So has our vision.
Today, Lux Aestiva is entering a new chapter.
A more considered expression of botanical skincare, bringing together the natural nourishment we have always believed in with modern creams, lotions, cleansers, masks and treatments designed for the way we care for our skin today.
It started with oil
Before there were creams, lotions and modern skincare treatments, there were oils.
Our original formulas were built around them.
We loved the way a beautiful botanical oil could transform the feel of skin with just a few drops. The softness. The nourishment. The simplicity.
And we still do.
Gypsy Oil™ remains the original Lux Aestiva signature.
Our iconic botanical body oil brings together Grapeseed, Camellia, Apricot, Rosehip, Meadowfoam, Prickly Pear and Pomegranate Oils, with Rose and Jasmine Buds suspended within the bottle.
It is part of our history.
And it is still very much part of our future.
Because our move towards creams and modern skincare isn't about leaving oils behind.
It's about building on what they taught us.
From botanical oils to botanical skincare
As we continued developing Lux Aestiva, we began asking a bigger question:
What if we could take the botanical ingredients we love and create more ways for skin to experience them?
Not every skin day calls for an oil.
Sometimes skin wants lightweight hydration.
Sometimes it wants something richer.
Sometimes it needs gentle cleansing.
Sometimes it wants a comforting cream at night.
And sometimes, it simply wants the beautiful simplicity of an oil.
That's why our collection is evolving.
We're moving towards a more complete approach to botanical skincare — one that allows you to choose what your skin needs, rather than asking one type of product to do everything.
Introducing a more modern Lux Aestiva
Our new direction is captured in three words:
Modern Botanical Skincare.
It's a simple idea, but an important one.
We believe botanical ingredients have an enduring place in modern skincare.
But beautiful botanical skincare doesn't need to feel old-fashioned, overly complicated or caught between two worlds.
It can be thoughtful.
It can be elegant.
It can be contemporary.
And it can bring beautiful botanical ingredients together with carefully considered modern skincare formulations.
That is where Lux Aestiva is heading.
The evolution of Gypsy
Perhaps nowhere is this evolution more beautifully expressed than in Gypsy.
Gypsy Oil™ is the original.
The botanical body oil that helped define Lux Aestiva remains exactly where it belongs — at the heart of our story.
But we know that not everyone wants to use an oil.
Some people love a rich cream.
Others prefer something lighter and more fluid for everyday use.
So we created new ways to experience the Gypsy story.
Gypsy Crème
A rich, velvety body custard inspired by the botanical character of our original Gypsy Oil.
Created for those who love deeply nourishing body care but prefer the texture and feel of a cream.
Gypsy Veil
A lighter body lotion inspired by the same botanical story.
Created for those who want everyday nourishment in a more weightless, easily absorbed texture.
And alongside them, Gypsy Oil™ remains our original signature.
Three textures.
One botanical story.
Oil. Crème. Veil.
That's what evolution looks like at Lux Aestiva.
The new collection is about how skin actually lives
Skin changes.
With the seasons.
With the weather.
With age.
With our environment.
And with the simple fact that no two days are exactly the same.
So instead of creating a collection based around one philosophy or one texture, we're creating products that meet different moments in your skincare routine.
Our facial skincare follows the same thinking.
Renew Veil
A lightweight daily facial moisturiser centred around Prickly Pear Oil, created for everyday nourishment and comfortable hydration.
Renew Cocoon
A richer night cream featuring Prickly Pear Oil, created for evenings when skin wants something more comforting and nourishing.
Hydra Veil
A lightweight hydrating facial lotion combining Hyaluronic Acid and Vitamin B5 with nourishing botanical ingredients for everyday moisture.
Illume Veil
Our brightening moisturising direction, created for skin that wants a little more radiance and luminosity.
Renew Cleansing Lotion
Because beautiful skincare starts with how you cleanse.
A gentle cleansing step designed to cleanse without making skincare feel like a battle between clean and comfortable.
And alongside these newer formulations, our facial and body oils continue to have their place.
Because sometimes the simplest answer is still the right one.
Botanical doesn't mean old-fashioned
We don't believe botanical skincare needs to belong to the past.
Nor do we believe that every botanical ingredient needs to be treated as a miracle.
Instead, we look for ingredients that have a reason to be there.
Prickly Pear Oil for its beautiful nourishing profile.
Camellia for its silky conditioning character.
Rosehip for its naturally occurring fatty acids.
Meadowfoam for its elegant, comfortable feel.
Jojoba, Avocado, Macadamia, Sunflower and Sweet Almond Oils for their different contributions to nourishment and conditioning.
Vitamin B5 and Hyaluronic Acid when hydration is the focus.
Shea and Cocoa Butters when skin needs something richer and more comforting.
It's about choosing ingredients thoughtfully — then giving them a purpose.
The ingredient that connects the old and the new
If there is one botanical ingredient that beautifully represents where Lux Aestiva is heading, it is Prickly Pear Seed Oil.
It has been part of our oil philosophy for years.
Now it sits at the heart of our evolving skincare collection too.
You'll find it in our botanical oils as well as in Renew Veil and Renew Cocoon.
It's a wonderful example of what we mean by modern botanical skincare.
An ingredient doesn't need to be new to be relevant.
Sometimes the most interesting ingredients are the ones nature has been giving us all along.
Why creams?
This is perhaps the biggest evolution in the Lux Aestiva collection.
And the answer is actually quite simple.
Because we don't all want the same thing from our skincare.
Oils are beautiful.
But creams and lotions give us another dimension.
They allow us to combine hydration with nourishing oils, butters and carefully selected skincare ingredients in textures designed for different times of day, different preferences and different skin needs.
A lightweight veil can feel completely different from a rich night cream.
A body crème offers something different again.
A cleansing lotion serves a different purpose from a facial oil.
We don't see this as replacing oils. We see it as expanding the possibilities.
Still Lux Aestiva. Just more of it.
As the collection evolves, some things will change.
The textures will change.
The product formats will expand.
The way we talk about skincare will become more considered.
But some things won't change at all.
Our love of beautiful botanical ingredients.
Our appreciation for thoughtful formulation.
Our belief that skincare should feel good to use.
Our Australian roots.
And our desire to create products that feel beautiful without becoming unnecessarily complicated.
That is the Lux Aestiva difference.
A collection designed to work together
We don't want you to feel as though you need every product.
Quite the opposite.
We want you to discover the products that make sense for your skin and your preferences.
Perhaps that begins with a gentle cleanser and a lightweight moisturiser.
Perhaps your skin wants a richer cream at night.
Perhaps you love the simplicity of a facial oil.
Perhaps you prefer the feel of a body crème.
Perhaps you move between all of them depending on the season.
There is no perfect routine.
There is only the routine that works beautifully for you.
And so, we begin again
Lux Aestiva began with a simple belief:
That beautiful skincare could begin with beautiful ingredients.
We still believe that.
But now we're taking that belief somewhere new.
From oils to creams.
From individual botanical treatments to a more complete skincare collection.
From the original Gypsy Oil™ to new textures like Gypsy Crème and Gypsy Veil.
From the botanical ingredients that have always inspired us to modern formulations designed around the way we care for our skin today.
Not a departure.
Not a reinvention.
An evolution.
The next chapter of Lux Aestiva is about bringing nature and modern skincare together in a way that feels considered, beautiful and relevant.
A collection that respects where we've come from while embracing where we're going.
And we're only just getting started.
Welcome to the new Lux Aestiva.
Modern Botanical Skincare.
