Janesce skincare begins not in a lab, but in a garden. Tucked away in the Adelaide Hills, Claret Ash Farm is where the journey starts—a place where plants are cultivated with love, harvested with care, and transformed into deeply effective skincare.
Organically and Biodynamically Grown
Claret Ash Farm is a certified organic garden that follows the time-tested principles of biodynamic agriculture. No chemical pesticides or herbicides are used. Instead, the garden is nurtured in harmony with seasonal and lunar cycles—an approach that enhances the vitality of the soil and the strength of the plants. Every herb and flower grown here is as pure and potent as nature intended.
Extracts That Mature Like Fine Wine
Janesce is known for its exceptional use of concentrated plant extracts. These are not flash-processed or diluted, but carefully prepared in a purpose-built lab on the farm. Once extracted, the botanical actives are left to mature slowly over time, developing their full potential in the way a fine wine does. This results in skincare that is rich in nutrients and highly effective.
Clean Ingredients, Thoughtfully Chosen
You won’t find harsh chemicals or synthetic additives in Janesce products. The formulations rely on high-quality natural ingredients—from nourishing shea butter and plant oils to coconut-derived waxes. The result is skincare that supports the skin gently but powerfully, using the best that nature has to offer.
A small amount of natural alcohol, sourced from fermented grapes, is used in select products to assist the absorption of plant actives. Kept at minimal levels (less than 1%), it enhances performance without irritating sensitive skin.
Ethically Crafted and Cruelty-Free
At Janesce, respect for all living beings is a guiding value. None of our products are ever tested on animals. Ingredients like honey and silk proteins are chosen with great care to ensure they are sustainably and ethically sourced. We believe that how a product is made matters just as much as what goes into it.
The Energy of Plants, the Energy of Love
The story of Janesce is also one of connection—between humans and plants. Inspired by the work of Cleve Backster, a former polygraph expert, we are guided by the idea that plants can respond to attention and affection. His research showed that plants register energy changes when threatened—and flourish when cared for.
At Claret Ash Farm, every plant is grown with this awareness. The garden is a place of deep intention and connection, and we believe that this energy lives on in our products—creating a unique, living bond between the earth, the formula, and your skin.
