Roudh de Vie is a blooming cheek and lip tinted balm rooted in ancestral pigment science, created to color, nourish, and harmonize the skin through the intelligence of the Three Kingdoms: animal, botanical, and mineral.
It is living rouge—formulated to work in harmony with the skin, allowing natural vitality to express itself visibly through color.
A structurally compatible base of grass-fed tallow carries hand-steeped botanical and mineral pigments in their most bioavailable form, creating a flush that feels instinctive, dimensional, and alive.
Hand-infused alkanet oils, traditional Moroccan Aker Fassi made from poppy petals and pomegranate, and natural Peruvian carmine are layered into a single formula that honors the historical lineage of red pigment. Finely balanced mineral iron oxides provide tonal structure and refinement, completing the architecture of a true red hue.
Soft, adaptive, and luminous, Roudh de Vie reveals color as an extension of vitality rather than ornamentation.
KEY INGREDIENTS:
Tallow:
A superior bio-identical lipid, rich in vitamins A, D, E, and K. Tallow creates a deeply nourishing, skin-compatible base that merges seamlessly into lips and cheeks for lasting comfort and radiance.
Aker Fassi — The Moroccan Elixir of Radiance:
Born from red poppy and pomegranate, Aker Fassi is a Moroccan beauty ritual once known as “deer`s blood” for its vivid crimson hue. Sun-dried and hand-ground, it originates in the traditions of Berber women of the Atlas Mountains.
Mineral-rich and abundant in antioxidants, flavonoids, and alkaloids, it restores vitality and luminosity to the skin.
Color as nourishment. Pigment as medicine.
Cochineal — The Ancient Scarlet
The world’ s most precious natural red, cochineal is a pure carminic acid pigment cultivated on the nopal cactus in Peru. Hand-harvested and sun- dried by rural farming communities, it sustains both land and lineage. Since the age of the Aztecs, cochineal has adorned textiles, temples, and royal lips —once rivaling silver and gold in value. Ethically sourced and globally approved for cosmetic use, it remains the most brilliant and enduring natural red.
Alkanet — The Botanical Foundation
Drawn from the roots of Alkanna tinctoria, alkanet has been used since antiquity across the Mediterranean and Middle East to dye oils, textiles, and cosmetics.
Traditionally slow-infused, it releases warm, earthy tones that bring softness and depth. In Roudh de Vie, hand-steeped alkanet in jojoba grounds the red with organic richness - elemental, alive, and timeless.
- Roudh de Vie delivers a naturally radiant flush that adapts uniquely to each complexion while supporting the skin barrier through a lipid-rich, biologically compatible base.
