Anyone can use BUJÓRI skincare products.

sopíFielle skin cleanser can be used anytime cleansing is truly needed. However, BUJÓRI skincare formulations follow the skin's circadian rhythm for skin health - protection during the day and repair during the night. This is why I recommend skin cleansing only in the evening.

During the night, the skin rebuilds its protective layer which is an integral part of the skin's diurnal defense mechanism. This biofilm prevents dehydration and provides protection against various particles and pathogens that land on your skin during the day. It should never be stripped off in the morning.

Cleansing your skin in the morning interferes with the skin's protective function during the day. The pH of the skin rises after cleansing. Depending on the cleanser and water used to cleanse the skin, it can take up to 8 hours or more for the skin's pH to return to its normal range. A skin pH outside of its normal range hinders the skin barrier because the skin microbiome needs an acidic environment to prevent the overgrowth of pathogens.

BUJÓRI cleansers are complete as formulated and require only water to be activated.

The mixing dish and spoon measure specific ratios of water and cleanser powder to help you obtain various cleanser amounts and consistencies, based on your preference. The wooden teaspoon measures cleansing powder. The glass dish measures water as each of the 3 circles correspond to the following volumes of water:

• The inner circle = 1/4 teaspoon of water.
• The middle circle = 1/2 teaspoon of water.
• The outer circle = 1 teaspoon of water.

Depending on whether you desire a thicker or thiner cleanser consistency, fill the appropriate circle with water and add ½ teaspoon cleanser powder.

Yes, ámpliFielle and fortíFielle serums are suitable and beneficial for these applications.

Start with 3 drops. One drop for the forehead and the nose surfaces. One drop for each side of the face, with the chin surface included.

Evaluate the skin one minute after serum application and adjust as needed. An adequate application results in a complexion that is moist, soft, and velvety to touch, without excess lipids.

Lipid application is easier on damp skin. The lipids from the serum and the moisture from the skin form an emulsion, accelerating the integration of the lipid-based serum into the epidermis.

When the dropper cap is fully closed, the dropper reaches the bottom of the bottle and is capable of extracting all the serum.

Skincare is any product formulated for skin hygiene, to maintain skin cleanliness and the integrity of the skin barrier. Skincare should not disrupt the skin barrier - its protective proteins, lipids, microbiota, and pH.

Skin treatments and medical-grade skincare are designed to treat a particular skin condition. They are regulated by the FDA. Formulated to cross the skin barrier and even enter the bloodstream, skin treatments and medical-grade skincare deliver topical medication to cause change either in the skin’s structure, function or both.

BUJÓRI skincare is a set of plant-derived formulations intended for daily skin hygiene, to cleanse and to maintain skin barrier integrity.

BUJÓRI formulations start with raw botanicals that are non-GMO and are either certified organic or wildcrafted. All BUJÓRI formulating processes follow strict organic standards to process its raw botanicals into ingredients. However, BUJÓRI skincare products themselves have not been certified organic as the fees associated with such certifications are too costly for our small business at this time.

Yes. BUJÓRI formulations are derived from plant materials, such as seeds, leaves, flowers, roots, barks, fruit.

No. BUJÓRI skincare products are not formulated with essential oils.

BUJÓRI skincare formulations do not contain any ingredients that were added to mask an odour or to specifically impart a smell, such as fragrance, perfume, essential oils.

Each BUJÓRI skincare formulation has a faint scent inherent in its ingredients. They are nearly odourless.

No. BUJÓRI does not conduct any testing on animals.

The botanicals used in BUJÓRI formulations are harvested during their corresponding harvesting season and transported to avoid exposure to heat and degradation. Raw botanicals are then crafted into ingredients following organic extraction methods and formulating processes. Although some laboratory grade equipment is utilized, many of BUJÓRI formulating processes are meticulously done by hand by one person only to assure reproduceability.

BUJÓRI skincare uses a pull system rather than a push system. That means skincare units are made to fit clientele needs and only in accordance with the resources available in a given year. BUJÓRI skincare does not produce in excess to then focus on pushing sales and get rid of the excess.

The concept of anti-aging is illogical because everything in nature, including humans, are subjected to the natural life cycle of birth-aging-death. We start aging immediately after birth. We call it growth and maturation, but the biological phenomenon is actually aging. We may be looking simply to maintain skin youthfulness and to avoid premature aging of the skin. This cannot be achieved with skincare products alone, but in combination with nutritional and lifestyle choices conducive to skin health and youthfulness. 

Can BUJÓRI skincare formulations contribute to the maintenance of skin youthfulness and the prevention of premature aging? Yes. BUJÓRI skincare maintains the skin structure contributing to skin barrier integrity.

BUJÓRI formulations maintain the integrity of the skin – the lipidome, the acid mantle, and the microbiome.

• fortíFielle morning serum maintains the skin’s natural armor, the biofilm that prevents moisture loss, reinforcing the skin’s protective mechanism during the day.
• sopíFielle skin cleanser maintains the structural integrity of the skin, removing intended and unintended particles that accumulate on the skin throughout the day.
• ecóuFielle skin cleanser maintains the structural integrity of the skin, providing the gentlest cleansing for those who do not wear makeup.
• ámpliFielle evening serum maintains hydration and the elasticity of the epidermis, contributing to barrier formation.

As hinted by its name description - skin cleanser - sopíFielle can be used on all skin surfaces.

As hinted by its name description - skin cleanser - ecóuFielle can be used on all skin surfaces.

In skincare, serums are defined as easily absorbed lipid- or water-based fluids. They are concentrated formulations of which only a few drops are needed for the entire face.

fortíFielle and ámpliFielle are lipid-based concentrated fluids that are easily integrated within the epidermis.

As with all BUJÓRI skincare formulations, the serums were formulated to be compatible with the skin's structure and functions.

Lipids have an important role in skin barrier formation and maintenance. They create an acidic environment at the surface of the stratum corneum, to aid commensal bacteria to thrive. Lipids are excellent moisturizers and emollients that maintain the skin moist, pliable, and resilient. 

The scientific article referenced below explains in greater detail the vital role lipids play in maintaining our skin’s health.

A cleansing formulation in powder-form has many benefits:

• It eliminates the need of antibacterial and preservative agents that disrupt the skin microbiome.
• It is concentrated, reducing packaging, shipping frequency, and cost.
• It has a longer shelf-life without water as an ingredient.

Glass is the optimal material for our products for the following reasons:

• It is inert and neither releases particles into nor absorbs particles from the product it stores
• It is not toxic to the environment
• It can be easily etched to eliminate the use of extensive labeling resources
• It can be easily sanitized
• It can be recycled and reused indefinitely.

Glass pipettes allow for a precise dispensing amount, ranging from a single drop to 0.7 ml, avoiding product waste and accommodating individual needs.

BUJÓRI skincare formulations are packaged in Miron glass. The glass appears black on the exterior, but its actual color is violet. The true violet color can be seen when placing an empty Miron glass bottle or jar toward a bright light. It is easiest to see when looking through a single-wall part of the bottle or jar, such as the bottom of it.

Miron Violet glass is a patented glass, manufactured in the Netherlands, made out of a special blend of minerals with two distinct benefits: durability against breakage and protection against molecular degradation for the product it stores. It is the only type of glass that acts as a filter to block the full spectrum of light, allowing only violet light and UV-A / InfraRed to penetrate the glass.

I was inspired by the ancient practices of carving in stone, wood, metal, and pottery. Etching eliminates the extra resources needed to create labels, such as paper or plastic, glue, and ink. This method of labeling makes it easier to reuse and recycle the bottles. as there are not multiple types of materials to separate.

Etched labels can lose clarity if repeatedly handling the bottles with greasy or dirty hands. Label clarity can easily be restore through washing the surface with soap and water, rinsing, and air-drying.

• Make sure the bottle is tightly closed.
• Use a clean sponge to wash the surface of the bottle.
• Do not submerge the bottle in water.
• Do not allow water to flow over the bottle's closure.
• Keep the bottle upright on a towel to air-dry.

Yes. Our process is as follows:

1. wash
2. rinse with purified water
3. rinse with distilled water
4. disinfect with certified organic, Non-GMO, 190 proof, neutral cane alcohol
5. dry
6. maintain sealed bottles in a controlled environment until bottling.

The bottles could be reused only if they have been properly sanitized. ecóuFielle and sopíFielle bottles are easy to sanitize because they hosted cleansing powders. ámpliFielle and fortíFielle bottles should not be reused. The plant-derived complex lipids of the serums contain wax-like compounds that require special cleansing to remove. If not properly sanitized, the bottles will be unsanitary to reuse. If you choose to reuse any of the BUJÓRI skincare bottles, you must properly sanitize the bottle(s) for its next intended use.

1. The shipping box and packing materials should be recycled with paper.
2. The glass components – bottles, apothecary jars, pipette tubes – should be recycled with glass.
3. The bottle caps (amino plastic), pipette caps (polypropylene) and pipette bulbs (thermoplastic elastomer) should be recycled with plastic.
