About the Product
What makes Volta Radiance different from other facial oils?
Every ingredient in Volta Radiance is purposefully chosen to create luxury that actually works for all skin tones. At 99.6% botanical ingredients, we've combined the world's most precious oils like prickly pear seed with scientifically advanced actives like Bakuchiol Sytenol A. The hand-beaten 24K gold flakes melt into skin for natural radiance - this is luxury with intention, not just indulgence.
Is this suitable for my skin tone?
Absolutely! While we developed Volta Radiance with deep understanding of melanin-rich skin (medium to deep skin tones), our approach means it works beautifully for everyone. When you formulate for the most demanding scientific needs, it naturally excels for all skin types.
Why does a facial oil need fragrance?
Volta Radiance features a purposefully crafted fragrance that takes you on a global botanical journey. Each note is chosen not just for its beautiful scent, but to address specific skin needs - creating luxury that serves your skin and senses. It's sophisticated, not overpowering, designed to enhance your natural radiance from within.
Ingredients & Formulation
How is Bakuchiol Sytenol A different to regular bakuchiol?
Bakuchiol Sytenol A is a premium, advanced form of bakuchiol that offers superior stability and potency compared to standard bakuchiol. While regular bakuchiol can be unstable and less effective, Sytenol A delivers enhanced anti-aging results with better penetration and longer-lasting effects - it's the difference between basic bakuchiol and pharmaceutical-grade precision.
Will the gold flakes make me look glittery?
Not at all! The hand-beaten 24K gold flakes gently melt into your skin, giving a natural glow without any glitter effect. You'll experience luminous, healthy-looking skin rather than visible sparkles.
Is this really 99.6% natural?
Yes! We use only one synthetic ingredient - THDA (a stable, oil-soluble vitamin C) - because nature couldn't provide the gentle, effective vitamin C that modern skin needs. Everything else is botanical or naturally derived, including our full-spectrum natural vitamin E complex.
What's special about your prickly pear seed oil?
Prickly pear seed oil is one of the world's most precious beauty oils, incredibly rare and expensive. It contains 150% more vitamin E than argan oil and provides exceptional hydration and antioxidant protection.
Usage & Results
How do I use Volta Radiance?
Apply 3-4 drops to clean skin, gently pressing in. Layer under your SPF. Evening: Apply 4-5 drops to clean skin as your final step. Pro tip: Warm the oil between your palms before application for enhanced absorption.
When will I see results?
You'll feel the luxury of instant hydration and see improved skin texture from first use, with skin that naturally glows. Your journey to radiant skin continues with purposeful daily use as your skin becomes more luminous, even, and youthful.
Can I use this if I have oily skin
Absolutely! Our formula includes jojoba oil, which perfectly mimics your skin's natural sebum and helps regulate oil production. The lightweight blend absorbs beautifully without greasiness.
Will this clog my pores?
Our formula is carefully balanced with lightweight oils like jojoba (comedogenic rating of 0) that help regulate oil production. The blend is designed to absorb beautifully into skin without leaving heavy residue that could block pores. However, as with any oil-based product, we recommend patch testing if you're particularly prone to congestion.
Skin Concerns
I have sensitive skin - is this safe for me?
Yes! We specifically chose gentle, melanin-safe actives that won't cause irritation. Our bakuchiol alternative to retinol and stable vitamin C are much gentler than traditional anti-aging actives. However, as with any new product, we recommend patch testing first.
Will this help with dark spots/hyperpigmentation?
Our formula is designed to be melanin-safe, meaning it won't disrupt your natural pigmentation or cause post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. The gentle actives support healthy skin renewal without the risks associated with harsher ingredients.
Can I use this during pregnancy/breastfeeding?
Our formula uses gentle, plant-based actives rather than synthetic retinoids, making it a safer choice. However, we always recommend consulting your healthcare provider about any skincare products during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
Purchasing & Practical
What sizes do you offer?
We offer a 30ml full size (£75) and a 10ml travel size (£30) - perfect for trying the formula or taking your routine on holiday.
How long will one bottle last?
The 30ml bottle typically lasts 2-3 months with daily use (morning and evening). A little goes a long way with facial oils!
What's your return policy?
We want you to love your skin transformation. If you're not completely satisfied, please contact us within 30 days of purchase to discuss your experience.
Is the packaging sustainable?
Absolutely! Our bottles are crafted from exceptional quality glass that's designed for a beautiful second life. Whether you choose to repurpose them for lasting enjoyment, refill them with your own oils, recycle them, or simply keep them as luxurious storage, the quality ensures they'll serve you well beyond their original purpose.
Brand & Ethics
Do you test on animals?
Never. We are completely cruelty-free and do not test on animals at any stage of product development.
How do you ensure ethical sourcing?
We work with suppliers who share our values. For example, our Kakadu plum seed oil is ethically sourced and supports Indigenous Australian communities who harvest and tend the trees.
Why did you focus on melanin-rich skin?
The luxury beauty industry has largely ignored the unique needs of melanin-rich skin. We wanted to create purposeful luxury that celebrates and enhances natural radiance rather than work against it. When you solve for the most demanding scientific needs with intention, you create superior products that deliver radiant results for everyone.
