Many people hear “ancient methods” and assume they refer to antiques, retro styles, or outdated techniques.
But to me, “ancient methods” represent a wiser, more scientific, and warmer modern solution.
Take the ancient process of preparing safflower pigment: why soak it first, then sun-dry it, then grind it repeatedly at low temperatures?
It's not about ritual—it's to stabilize and purify the pigment, preventing skin irritation.
Why did ancient people favor beeswax?
 Because beeswax possesses natural antibacterial properties and locks in moisture, creating the gentlest protective barrier for lips.
Why did they favor osmanthus, costus root, and sandalwood?
Not for fragrance, but to ensure each ingredient blends seamlessly into oils—preventing separation and irritation on delicate lip skin.
Ancient beauty philosophy held:
What you apply to your face must also benefit your body.
Today, many “natural brands” merely swap mineral oil for plant oils, yet their pigments remain synthetic.
My approach, however, is natural from the very source of color.
When I first witnessed red flower powder dissolving gradually in oil, and saw lithospermum slowly transform into deep berry hues, I suddenly understood:
Ancient methods aren't relics of the past—they are forgotten gentle science.
