We advocate for botanicals as primary, not alternative, go-to for beauty — for our skin, for our planet and for the generations to come
Sourced with Intention. Formulated with Care.
At koneksi we are committed to sourcing the finest botanicals, carefully selecting each plant at its peak maturity to ensure maximum potency. From seeds and leaves to kernels, every raw material is chosen with quality, purity, and sustainability in mind. To preserve the full spectrum of beneficial compounds, we prioritise sourcing cold-pressed extraction to ensure that the delicate vitamins, minerals, and essential fatty acids remain intact, delivering the most nutrient-rich and effective oils possible. Unlike heat-based or chemical extraction methods, cold pressing maintains the oil’s natural integrity—free from unnecessary additives or processing that could compromise its purity.
Our approach is not just about individual ingredients; it's about creating synergistic formulas. We carefully select botanicals with the highest concentration of active nutrients and combine them in precise formulations that enhance each other’s effectiveness, ensuring that every drop works powerfully to nourish, protect, and restore for the contextual purpose.
Resilient by Nature
Each botanical oil in our collection is shaped by the environment it comes from and in some cases years in the making before it reaches its full potential.— The time, climate, and soil conditions all play a crucial role in shaping the quality and potency of each oil. These oils are more than just ingredients; they are the result of survival, adaptation, and quiet strength.
Rosehip oil, the prime base of our Golden Hour Active botanical. Harvested from the wild Rosa Canina shrub, this oil originates in the high altitudes of the Andean mountains, where the terrain is dry and the temperatures fluctuate between scorching heat and freezing cold. In these challenging conditions, the plant develops an extraordinary concentration of nutrients — essential fatty acids, provitamin A, and antioxidants — works wonders to protect, restore and supporting elasticity, tone, and cellular renewal.
Our base oils are not passive carriers — they are potent, active botanicals with powerful healing properties.
Grown under the southern sun and shaped by wind and time, they embody the very essence of resilience, vitality, and the living intelligence of nature.
