About the Brand
Brand logo
Founded by beauty industry expert Begoña Sanjuán and chemist Dr. Isabel Ramos, Ayuna brings together Spanish skincare heritage and advanced green biotechnology. Guided by the philosophy “Less Is Beauty,” the brand creates high-performance, eco-certified formulas that deliver visible results while respecting your skin and the environment. Each product is designed to simplify routines without compromising efficacy.

Ayuna proves that vegan, plant-powered skincare can match or exceed the results of the most advanced luxury brands. Each formula integrates epigenetic factors to optimise skin function at a cellular level, restoring balance, strengthening resilience, and enhancing brightness, without sacrificing sustainability or luxury sensoriality.

Ayuna takes a different approach to anti-ageing by working at the source of skin ageing. Instead of masking signs on the surface, lab-cultivated plant stem cells and advanced extracts retrain how your skin cells behave. This means faster renewal, stronger repair, and better structure. The result is fewer wrinkles, smoother texture, and firmer, more plump skin with lasting vitality.

Micro-Needling Effect

Micro-needling effect skincare is designed to stimulate the regeneration of new, healthy skin by activating the skin’s natural repair mechanisms—without the need for needles. Through controlled micro-stimulation, these formulations encourage accelerated cell turnover and boost collagen and elastin production, resulting in firmer, smoother, and more youthful-looking skin. This regenerative process not only softens fine lines and improves skin density, but also helps reduce the appearance of pigmentation and scarring by promoting the renewal of more even, uniform skin. By continuously supporting the formation of fresh skin cells, this approach refines texture, enhances clarity, and reveals a complexion that appears more resilient, radiant, and visibly rejuvenated over time.

Anti-Wrinkle

Anti-wrinkle skincare is focused on both preventing and visibly reducing the formation of lines by targeting the structural and dynamic causes of wrinkles within the skin. Fine lines and deeper wrinkles develop as collagen and elastin decline, cell turnover slows and repeated facial movements create creases that become etched over time. Advanced formulations address these mechanisms through a combination of elastin-stimulating actives, smoothing peptides that help relax the appearance of expression lines, and deeply hydrating ingredients that plump the skin from within. By reinforcing the skin’s architecture while softening surface contractions and improving elasticity, anti-wrinkle skincare delivers a visibly smoother complexion.

Firming & Lifting

Firming & Lifting skincare is designed to restore strength, structure, and definition to the skin, creating a visibly tighter, more sculpted appearance. As the skin loses collagen and elasticity over time, it can begin to soften and sag, losing its natural contours. Advanced formulations work to rebuild this support from within—boosting firmness while helping to visibly lift and redefine the skin. The result is a smoother, more toned complexion with enhanced bounce and resilience, where facial contours appear sharper and elevated.

Plumping

Plumping involves using active ingredients to boost the production of key structural components like collagen, the dermal-epidermal junction and glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), giving your skin more volume and density. Collagen provides structural support and firmness, while the dermal-epidermal junction, a thin connective layer, ensures smooth, wrinkle-free skin by facilitating cell communication. GAGs, like hyaluronic acid, keep your skin hydrated and plump from within. By stimulating these components, active ingredients help restore your skin's plumpness and radiance.

Anti-Pigmentation

Dealing with pigmentation means targeting melanin overproduction to reduce dark spots and prevent new ones. Melanin production can be triggered by UV exposure, pollution, hormonal changes (like during pregnancy), and inflammation (from acne or cuts). This excess pigment is then transferred to surrounding cells in epidermis called keratinocytes, which then moves to the skin's surface, causing visible dark spots.

To treat hyperpigmentation, a personalised and consistent approach is needed. Our anti-pigmentation products include lightening agents to block tyrosinase (the enzyme that creates melanin), antioxidants to fight free radicals, and ingredients to speed up skin cell turnover, removing pigmented cells. Using broad-spectrum sun protection is crucial to prevent new pigmentation during treatment.

Scar-Repairing

Anti-Scarring skincare targets the textured scars left by acne breakouts. These scars form due to inflammation disrupting collagen and elastin fibres leading to uneven healing and indented areas. Anti-Scarring actives harness growth factors and exfoliating actives to stimulate cell repair and regeneration, optimising the skin's healing process to reduce scar formation. They also effectively diminish older scars, improving overall skin texture and leaving you with a smoother complexion and significantly reduced scar visibility.

Brightening (Energising)

Brightening skincare involves using active ingredients to boost your blood circulation, detoxification and cellular energy. Improved blood circulation brings more essential nutrients and oxygen to your skin, while detoxification helps eliminate cell waste and impurities that can make your skin look dull. Certain active ingredients also enhance your skin's metabolism and regeneration. These combined actions restore your skin's vitality and radiant appearance, giving you a fresh, energised complexion.

Microbiome Balancing

Microbiome Balancing skincare focuses on supporting the skin’s ecosystem through a precise combination of prebiotics, probiotics, and postbiotics—each playing a distinct and complementary role. Prebiotics act as a targeted nutrient source, feeding and promoting the growth of beneficial microorganisms to maintain balance within the skin’s microbiome. Probiotics then introduce and reinforce these beneficial bacteria, helping to strengthen the skin’s natural defenses and reduce the presence of harmful strains. Postbiotics, the bioactive compounds produced through this process, enhance overall skin function by supporting barrier strength, improving hydration, and calming inflammation. Together, this synergistic approach stabilises the skin environment, resulting in a complexion that is clearer, more resilient, and visibly healthier.

Enzymatic Exfoliation

Enzymatic exfoliation uses natural fruit enzymes like papain (from papaya) and bromelain (from pineapple) to gently break down dead skin cells on the surface, making it perfect for sensitive skin. Unlike chemical exfoliation, which uses acids like AHAs and BHAs to dissolve bonds between cells for deeper exfoliation, enzymatic exfoliation is milder. It promotes smoother, brighter skin without the risk of irritation, giving you a gentle yet effective way to reveal your natural radiance.

Complexion-Unifying (Anti-Blotchiness)

Evening skin tone is all about reducing blotchiness and achieving a more uniform complexion. Skincare products designed for this purpose use a blend of active ingredients, including soothing agents, anti-pigmentation compounds, antioxidants, and skin-restoring elements. These ingredients work together to diminish redness, inflammation, and pigment irregularities caused by inflammation, while also strengthening and protecting your skin against environmental irritants and future damage. This promotes healing and resilience, leaving your skin more balanced, radiant, and beautiful.

Antioxidant

Antioxidant skincare is dedicated to protecting the skin against oxidative stress—one of the primary drivers of premature ageing and cellular damage—while preserving overall skin integrity and vitality. These formulations rely on potent molecules such as vitamin C, vitamin E, and polyphenols, which neutralize free radicals generated by UV exposure and environmental aggressors before they can compromise cellular structures like lipids, proteins, and DNA. Beyond defence, many antioxidants also support repair processes and enhance collagen stability, contributing to improved firmness, brightness and resilience. The result is skin that is not only shielded from ongoing damage but maintained in a healthier, more luminous state over time.

Anti-Dark Circles

Anti-Dark Circles is a targeted approach for brighter eyes. These products address all types of dark circles: vascular (blue), pigmented (brown) and hollow (shadow).

Vascular dark circles: These blue circles result from poor blood and lymph circulation. Anti-dark circle actives such as caffeine, constricts blood vessels and boosts circulation, effectively reducing their appearance.
Pigmented dark circles: These brown circles are due to melanin accumulation, often influenced by genetics and sun exposure. Lightening actives work to diminish these pigmentation marks, revealing a more even skin tone.
Hollow dark circles: These shadows appear with aging as fat diminishes and skin sags. Peptides stimulate collagen and elastin production, plumping and firming the eye area.

Photo-Protecting

Photo-protecting skincare at a cellular level focuses on defending the skin against the internal damage triggered by UV exposure, rather than simply blocking rays at the surface. Ultraviolet radiation generates free radicals and disrupts cellular DNA, accelerating collagen breakdown, inflammation, and premature ageing. Advanced formulations work by neutralising oxidative stress, supporting DNA repair mechanisms, and strengthening the skin’s natural defence systems to limit long-term damage. By preserving cellular integrity and maintaining healthy skin function, this approach helps prevent visible signs of photo-ageing—such as wrinkles, loss of firmness, and uneven tone.

Nourishing

Nourishing skincare focuses on replenishing the skin with essential lipids, nutrients, and bioactive compounds to restore comfort, resilience, and optimal function. When the skin is depleted—whether through environmental stress, over-exfoliation, or natural ageing—it can become dry, fragile, and less able to protect itself. Nourishing formulations work to rebuild the lipid barrier using ingredients rich in fatty acids, vitamins, and antioxidants, helping to reinforce the skin’s structure while supporting repair and reducing moisture loss. By restoring what the skin lacks, this approach leaves it softer, stronger, and more supple.

Skin Barrier Strengthening

Strengthening your skin barrier involves replenishing the key elements in the top layer of your skin (stratum corneum), leading to a stronger and healthier barrier. These essential elements include lipids (ceramides, fatty acids, and cholesterol) and Natural Moisturizing Factors (amino acids, hyaluronic acid, etc.). Various factors, such as incorrect skincare use, seasonal changes, and aesthetic treatments, can damage your skin barrier. When this happens, your skin loses excess water through Trans Epidermal Water Loss (T.E.W.L) and becomes less capable of defending against environmental stressors, resulting in dryness, sensitivity, and irritation.

A healthy skin barrier is crucial for overall skin health as it helps prevent hydration loss, protects against environmental damage, and reduces the risk of skin conditions like eczema and acne. By strengthening your skin barrier, you ensure your skin remains well-hydrated, resilient, and protected.

Sponge Extract

Sponge Extract is composed of fibres, which act like little needles, providing both a chemical and mechanical (physical) exfoliation. Once the Sponge makes contact with the skin, it provides a peeling action, which then induces micro-inflammation resulting in the renewal of the skin. Subsequently, as the "needles" dissolve, they secrete a stimulating substance which produces collagen and new cells, recreating a "Micro-Needling" effect on the skin without aesthetic intervention, creating a new and younger skin.

Fermented Lactobacillus & Cocos Nuci-fera

Fermented Lactobacillus & Cocos Nucifera Extract is derived from the fermentation of Lactobacillus Bacteria and Coconut Juice. This process releases natural sugars that serve as probiotics on the skin, enhancing the balance of the skin microbiome. It promotes the growth of beneficial microorganisms while safeguarding against harmful bacteria. In addition to supporting the microbiome, it functions as a natural preservative and skin softener.

Pomegranate Enzyme

Pomegranate Enzymes, obtained by fermenting pomegranate with Lactobacillus Lactis, provide gentle exfoliation that promotes cell renewal and improves skin tone and texture. The specific fermentation and filtration process isolates these potent enzymes, enhancing their ability to soften and unify the skin for a smoother, more radiant complexion.

Stabilised Vitamin C

Stabilised vitamin C is a chemically modified derivative of Vitamin C engineered to maintain potency and resist oxidation caused by exposure to light, heat, and oxygen, offering enhanced stability and controlled release into the skin. Once absorbed, they function as potent antioxidants, neutralising free radicals generated by UV radiation and pollution to prevent oxidative stress and premature cellular ageing. Stabilised vitamin C also inhibits tyrosinase activity, reducing melanin synthesis and promoting a more even, luminous skin tone. Additionally, it stimulates collagen synthesis by supporting fibroblast activity, improving skin firmness and elasticity over time. Because of their lower irritation potential and greater formulation stability, these forms are accepted by most skin types; including sensitive, acne-prone, or reactive skin.

Bearberry Concentrate

Bearberry Concentrate, derived from Bearberry leaves, is packed with natural compound arbutin, known for its brightening properties. Arbutin inhibits melanin production, visibly reducing dark spots and brightening complexion. Additionally it shields skin from environmental stressors, preserving and enhancing luminosity.

Phyto-Cellular Fusions (PCF)

Phyto-Cellular Fusion (PCF) of Pomegranate and Arabian Cotton, redefining skincare with its potent anti-ageing and UV protective properties. It enhances skin's microbiome defences against UV radiation, releasing natural protective postbiotics to neutralise sun-induced damage. Pomegranateís lipidic fractions provide essential lipids and prebiotic polyphenols like Ellagic Acid, that brighten and unify complexion. Arabian Cottonís cellular factors offer antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and photo-protective benefits, leaving the skin soothed and strengthened. This powerful blend combats sun induced premature skin ageing and pigmentation.

Rainbow Algae Cellular Concentrate

This Cellular Extract is derived from Rainbow Algae using a patented enzymatic method to maximise its potency. It helps to lighten existing pigmentation marks and prevent new ones by inhibiting melanin production cycles and stimulating melanin breakdown.
