Rooted in ritual. Powered by nature. Inspired by a slower way of living.
At Slow Ageing Essentials, we believe that radiant skin and true wellbeing come not from rushing through routines, but from
embracing a slower, more conscious pace of life. Our skincare and wellness collection is a celebration of time-honoured rituals,
pure botanical ingredients, and the natural vitality that emerges when you nourish both skin and self.

A brand built on legacy & purpose.
Our story begins with David Lieber, founder of Slow Ageing Essentials and the visionary behind the UK launch of Decléor—one of the world’s most trusted aromatherapy skincare brands. For over 30 years, David helped introduce a generation to the power of essential oils, holistic therapies, and
natural beauty that works in harmony with your skin.
But David didn’t want to create just another skincare brand. He wanted to go deeper. After stepping away from the industry, he began to embrace a new pace of life—one that prioritised mindful moments, daily rituals, and wellbeing as a lifestyle. It was during this time that the seeds for Slow Ageing Essentials were planted.
What also shaped David’s vision was his time running spa and wellness retreats, giving him a rare, 360-degree view of the industry. He understood the needs of both professional therapists and everyday customers alike. That insight led him to develop a skincare collection that would work seamlessly
in both professional spa treatments and at-home routines—delivering real results without complexity. A range that’s simple yet powerful, crafted with purpose, and rooted in the art of slowing down.

A philosophy shaped by life.
Together with his wife Margot, a qualified naturopath, yoga teacher and all round wellbeing expert who lives and breathes the philosophy of ‘less but better’, the couple began developing skincare rooted in daily ritual—products that don’t promise overnight fixes, but instead support skin’s long-term health and vitality.
Margot’s influence runs through every part of the brand: from the gentle yet effective formulations to the yoga-inspired Skinergy™ application technique that transforms daily skincare into a moment of self-connection.
As a wellbeing expert, Margot also designed Skinergy™ to work with the body's meridian lines, helping to release energy, restore balance, and encourage skin radiance from within. As a dedicated yoga teacher, she
believes skincare is not just about appearance, but about creating a deeper harmony between body, mind and spirit.
