Clay, From Earth to Skin

 

What sets Illicium apart is our use of natural clays in every formula — each chosen not only for its color and texture, but for its unique benefits for skin and hair.
The green Montmorillonite clay deeply cleanses the pores and draws out impurities, helping to balance and purify. The red clay, rich in minerals and iron, nourishes and hydrates, leaving skin and hair soft and radiant. The black clay has a remarkable ability to absorb excess oil, making it ideal for oily skin and hair.
Together, these clays replace synthetic colorants with their natural hues and connect our products to the earth — a reflection of our philosophy: beauty that begins in nature and flows from earth to skin.

Our Story

Ina Rahbek+Mònica Crusat =I lliciu M

Illicium – Aromazing Nature was born from the shared vision of two women convinced that there is a better way to care for both skin and planet. In 2020, over a simple coffee, the idea of Illicium was born. One of us dreamed of using local olive oil to create cosmetics, while the other wanted to make solid products to avoid plastic waste. The very next day, we met in the kitchen to test our first formulas. Day after day, experiment after experiment, we realized this was more than just an idea — it was the beginning of something unique. What started as kitchen trials soon became the cornerstone of Illicium, a worker cooperative with a clear purpose: to craft natural, solid, plastic-free cosmetics that celebrate the richness of our local ingredients.

Frequent Questions

Solid cosmetics are products like shampoo bars, body butters, deodorants, and massage candles in a solid form instead of liquids. They’re made with natural ingredients, last longer, and are eco-friendly, often with no plastic packaging.

  • Shampoo/conditioner bars: Wet your hair and the bar, rub directly on your scalp or hands, lather, and rinse.
  • Body butter: Warm a small amount between your hands and apply to skin.
  • Massage candles: Light the candle, let a small amount of oil drip, and massage onto skin.
  • Deodorants: Rub gently under the arms.

Solid products are concentrated, so a small amount goes a long way. Most items last 2–3 months for personal use, and smaller travel or hotel sizes last proportionally.

Yes! Our products are made with natural oils, butters, and gentle ingredients. They are safe for sensitive skin, though we recommend checking the ingredient list for personal allergies.

No, all our solid cosmetics are cruelty-free and not tested on animals.

No, all our solid cosmetics are cruelty-free and not tested on animals.

Absolutely! Solid cosmetics reduce plastic waste, use minimal packaging, and often come in recyclable or compostable wrappers.

Yes! Solid cosmetics are perfect for travel since they don’t count as liquids for airlines and are lightweight, compact, and easy to pack.

Keep them dry and cool. Use a soap dish or tin for bars, and close containers for creams and balms to prevent moisture or dust from affecting them.

Yes! We offer custom wedding packs, hotel amenity kits, and gift boxes where you can choose the products, scents, and add labels or logos. If you want us to create a special scent for your hotel, please reach out!

Yes! Our solid cosmetics are highly concentrated, so a small amount is enough for long-lasting effects — for example, deodorants are effective for 24–36 hours, and creams keep skin nourished for days.

Not necessarily better, but more concentrated and longer-lasting. They often contain fewer preservatives and are kinder to your skin and the environment.

Many of our products are safe for older children, but we recommend avoiding strong essential oils on babies or toddlers.

At the moment, our products are sold as kits and packs, which are more practical, sustainable, and a better value. Buying a full kit also makes the most of shipping costs, since you can fill the allowed weight with several items instead of sending just one small product.
