With the amazing achievement of winning the Sustainability Award at the Organic Beauty Awards 2024, Inlight Beauty is seen as a true role model in the natural beauty industry, not only by us but also by a professional jury.
But what sets them apart from the crowd, and how have they established their position as the most sustainable brand? Today we explore Inlight Beauty's fascinating world of botanical extracts and green solutions, so join us!
Nature and… quantum physics?
Inlight's founder, Dr. Mariano Spiezia, has always understood the value of nature combined with science. With a background in medicine, surgery, homeopathy and herbal medicine, he took on the task of transforming the beauty industry and became recognised in the UK as the "father of the organic beauty movement".
Dr. Spiezia believes that the laws of quantum physics also apply to skincare, where all matter is alive and affects our bodies. This is where "slow beauty" comes from. Treating each ingredient gently and allowing natural processes to take over, without interfering or speeding anything up, is an important part of preserving both the "vibrational energy" and the beneficial properties for maximum effect.
In a study conducted by Mr. Gulla, an expert in hyperspectral imaging, Inlight Beauty's and similar/equivalent products currently on the market were tested. The results were fascinating. Inlight's products were found to provide more radiance and radiance, better blood and lymph flow, better interaction with the skin at the molecular level and even greater vitality of the active ingredients through increased emission of photons.
The investigation was then further analyzed by Dr. Milani, researcher and professor of materials science, who concluded that specific techniques used by Inlight can indeed positively affect the matter in our body and the skin's response to the products.
Could this special focus on alchemy be the biggest secret behind Inlight's success?
Alchemical experts
In today's world, it's not easy to find companies that follow such eco-friendly guidelines and create their products from scratch. But that's exactly what Inlight has vowed to uphold by growing their plants on a farm in Cornwall.
Each ingredient is carefully selected by Dr. Spiezia for its beneficial properties and individual/collective synergies. And the meticulousness continues in production, where the botanicals are distilled into cold-pressed oils for over a month, exposed to sunlight and moonlight.
The production also includes unique techniques such as adjusting sounds, alchemical symbols, colors, and words of intention, all with the vibrational theory of quantum physics in mind.
Once the oils have been fully saturated and filtered, the final touch is the addition of essential oils or beeswax, and nothing more. All thanks to the oil base that eliminates the need for preservatives.
In addition to the products being handmade and organic, their packaging is also a conscious choice. By using MIRON violet glass, the contents are protected from UV light, preserving both the quality and vitality of the ingredients. The outer packaging is also locally made with vegetable dyes on recycled cardboard.
And that's exactly why Inlight is 100% organic! A very impressive workflow, we think.
The next level of environmental awareness and community
Inlight uses only 100% clean, green, renewable power from solar energy and ensures that their partners offset any emissions they may have with projects that involve tree planting or protecting trees from deforestation.
To preserve the ecosystem, Inlight also supports local organic bee colonies by owning and managing various hives. It is part of the Black's Cornish Bee Project which saves local bees and prevents their extinction.
“Commercial honey producers import thousands of non-native bees every year. The import of foreign species brings pathogens and pests that have contributed to the destruction of local honeybee populations,” says Bob Black, the project’s founder.
This is how Inlight gets hold of one of its ingredients - beeswax. When honey in honeycombs is produced in excess quantities, beekeepers can take some without affecting the health of the colony. This benefits the bees, due to the promoted renewal of honeycombs and more space for honeybees to lay their eggs and raise their young in the new honeycombs.
Inlight's beeswax is therefore certified organic and sustainably acquired. With care and without the use of chemical pesticides or synthetic substances that negatively affect bees and their habitats.

But that's not all. Inlight also works with the Cornwall Wildlife Trust, which protects wildlife and nature in 2,300 nature reserves in the UK, and donates to the Hello Beautiful Foundation, which supports people with cancer and highlights the importance of non-toxic methods.
And what do Inlight Beauty themselves say?
Following the latest Sustainability Award, Jila Field from Inlight Beauty talks about the brand's aspirations and pride in the recognition:
“Inlight is a luxury skincare brand with an ethical heart, believing in positive action and helping us to be as sustainable as possible. We proudly carry the Cosmos Organic and Soil Association logos in the UK, Positive Luxury’s Butterfly Mark and International Leaping Bunny’s certifications. Achieving these certifications is not easy, but we do it so that customers can buy Inlight and trust what we say and what we do.”
The future of green beauty
Inlight Beauty has really thought of everything. They are definitely setting the bar for both existing and future beauty brands. We look forward to seeing more focus on environmental issues and hope that many more will be inspired to follow their beautiful example.
