The Origin of the Ritual
At Aureterra, we believe light is a living ingredient. Long before laboratories, sunlight awakened the chemistry within plants—drawing antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals toward their full potential.
Our Solar Infusion Ritual™ revives that ancestral method through a deliberate six-week process that unites time, light, and botanical intelligence. Each infusion becomes the foundation of our solar-infused skincare, capturing nature’s potency at its most vibrant.
How the Solar Infusion Ritual™ Works
1. Harvest
We begin with hand-selected botanicals—each chosen for its therapeutic properties and skin affinity. Every herb is ethically harvested at its seasonal peak, when the concentration of natural oils and pigments is at its highest.
2. Immerse
The botanicals are suspended in nutrient-dense mediums—carrier oils, coconut-derived glycerin, and raw organic apple cider vinegar—each chosen for its ability to extract specific plant compounds while preserving purity.
3. Steep in Sunlight
For six weeks, these vessels rest under natural light. Gentle solar warmth coaxes antioxidants, vitamins, and phytonutrients into the oils, glycerin, or vinegar. No synthetic heat, no alcohol, no solvents—only sunlight as catalyst.
4. Filter and Fortify
When the infusion matures, it’s carefully filtered, blended, and then fortified with clinically proven peptides and plant ceramides. Each formula is dermatologist tested and safe for sensitive skin, ensuring both performance and purity.
The Botanicals We Infuse
Every Aureterra formula begins in sunlight. Our botanicals steep for six weeks through the Solar Infusion Ritual™, a process that awakens antioxidants, vitamins, and phytonutrients within their natural mediums — oils, coconut-derived glycerin, and organic apple cider vinegar.
Solar-Infused Base Oils
We infuse Calendula flowers in all of our base carrier oils — Jojoba, Argon, Apricot Kernal, Grapeseed, and Avocado — forming the golden foundation of Aureterra’s skincare. Under sunlight, Calendula’s carotenoids and resins gently release into the oils, creating a nutrient-rich base that soothes irritation, supports regeneration, and strengthens the skin barrier.
Botanical Glycerites
For botanicals rich in water-soluble compounds, we craft botanical glycerites—plant extracts made through solar infusion in coconut-derived vegetable glycerin. We intentionally source glycerin from coconut, not palm, to ensure sustainability and responsible land use.
This gentle extraction preserves delicate antioxidants, minerals, and humectants that hydrate and nourish without alcohol or synthetic additives.
Our glycerites include:
-
Comfrey Leaf – rich in allantoin to restore elasticity and accelerate repair.
-
Green Tea – antioxidant powerhouse that defends against oxidative stress.
-
Chamomile – calms redness and soothes sensitivity.
-
Lemon Balm – brightens dull skin and balances sebum production.
-
Licorice Root – naturally evens tone and reduces hyperpigmentation.
-
Nettle Leaf – a vitamin- and mineral-rich tonic that strengthens and clarifies.
Each glycerite captures the living vitality of its herb—fresh, pure, and deeply hydrating.
Vinegar Infusions for the Queen of Hungary Astringent
For our Queen of Hungary Astringent, we infuse the entire botanical blend — Calendula, Comfrey, Green Tea, Chamomile, Lemon Balm, Licorice Root, Nettle, Sage, Rosemary, and Rose Petals — in raw organic apple cider vinegar.
This traditional herbal method preserves phytonutrients while creating a pH-balancing, clarifying, and toning elixir that refines the complexion and restores harmony to the skin’s microbiome.
Why Sunlight Outperforms Traditional Extraction
Conventional extraction often uses high heat or solvents that degrade sensitive compounds. The Solar Infusion Ritual™ preserves the entire nutrient spectrum—carotenoids, polyphenols, and enzymes—keeping them alive, bioavailable, and in perfect balance.
The result is a solar-energized base—oils that nourish, glycerites that hydrate, and vinegar infusions that tone—each infused with the living memory of light.
Science Meets Sensory Experience
Our Solar Infusion Ritual™ bridges ancestral craft with modern science. Every Aureterra formula is clinically proven and dermatologist tested, ensuring visible transformation without compromise.
When peptides meet sunlight-infused botanicals, the result is a synergy of precision and purity: skincare that feels grounding, luminous, and alive.
From Light to Luminance
Each product in the Aureterra collection is born from this ritual. Our Botanical Peptide Repair Cream, Anti-Aging Facial Polish, and Vitamin C Facial Mist all begin with solar-infused foundations.
Together, they form the Glow Starter Kit — a complete ritual of cleansing, hydration, and repair. Each step nourishes the skin with the same sunlight and botanicals that inspired its creation.
The Future of Solar Skincare
Aureterra exists to show that nature, at its highest potency, delivers results as powerful as laboratory formulations. By honoring sunlight as a co-creator, we merge ancestral craft with modern science — creating skincare that is clean, clinically proven, and sustainably crafted.
Light is not just what powers our process — it’s the essence of everything we create.
