This approach is groundbreaking. Imagine having the essence of the most potent botanicals at your fingertips, without depleting natural resources or harming the ecosystem. These lab-grown marvels are not just replicas; they are improvements, optimized to provide you maximum benefit.
At AWvi, biotech is more than a methodology—it's a commitment to excellence, sustainability, and the art of science.

AWvi's offerings are crafted with meticulous attention from conception to manufacturing in Italy, blending tradition with cutting-edge innovation. Our nutraceutical products are produced in a facility located on the outskirts of Florence—home to our headquarters—which complies with Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) standards. This facility is certified by the Italian Medicines Agency and registered with the FDA, reflecting our unwavering commitment to both quality and safety.
In parallel, the development and production of our ingredients and cosmeceutical products are carried out near Milan, by one of our founding partners, in a facility boasting multiple certifications by international ISO standards, including ISO 22716:2007 for Cosmetic Products Manufacturing, ISO 9001:2015 for Quality Management, ISO 22000:2005 for Food and Nutraceutical Safety, ISO 14001:2015 for Environmental Management Performance, and ISO 45001:2018 for Occupational Health and Safety.
This arrangement ensures an integration of expertise and excellence at every phase of development and production. Such strategic localization highlights our dedication to offering products that are not just effective, but are also locally produced in a sustainable and ethical manner.

At AWvi, each product stands as a testament to our unwavering commitment to quality, crafted with a focused dedication to stability and longevity. This approach ensures that your experience with our products is not only effective but also lasting.
Our product range is designed with clarity in mind, especially regarding their optimal usage period.
For our topical skincare line, this is communicated through the 'period after opening' (PAO) symbol. You'll notice this symbol—an opened jar with a numeral inside—on each product, indicating the time frame (in months) during which the product will perform at its best. For instance, The Gentle Cleanser boasts a 24M PAO, while both The Power Serum and The Active Cream are optimal for 12M after opening, allowing you to experience their peak efficacy within these periods.
By adhering to these guidelines, you ensure that your experience with AWvi remains unparalleled in terms of quality and effectiveness.
Turning our attention to The Skin Biotic supplement, a different but equally important date comes into play: the "best before end" (BBE). This date signifies the period up until which AWvi guarantees the supplement will maintain its quality, potency, and characteristics, assuming it's stored as recommended. The BBE is determined by the production date and is upheld by our rigorous manufacturing processes. These processes ensure the formula remains unaltered. Meanwhile, our medical-grade packaging (ALU 14 + PE 35) protects the product from external factors like temperature and humidity, thus preserving the formula's integrity over time. Although The Skin Biotic remains safe to consume past the BBE date, its intended effectiveness, flavor, or texture might not be as originally specified. This date is crucial, empowering consumers to fully benefit from our supplement, with confidence in its sustained quality and efficacy.
We conducted tests on both our topical range and our supplement to verify the actual stability and effectiveness of our formulas over time.

AWvi has worked diligently to find the perfect balance between what's best for you and the environment, leveraging the finest offerings from both nature and science. Our products are vegan, lactose-free, and gluten-free, ensuring the safety of our solutions—free from any type of allergen—and meeting user expectations. AWvi has selected ingredients and production processes that maximize efficacy and safety, all while preserving the environment. It's crucial to note that natural does not inherently mean safe or effective. A natural extract could be harmful or contaminated, or it might prove ineffective if not processed correctly to extract the key active ingredients at the necessary concentrations to produce the desired effects. Moreover, the cultivation and extraction processes for natural components can significantly harm the environment in terms of land use, water, energy consumption, and polluting extraction processes.
If our active ingredients are of natural origin, such as ectoine and hyaluronic acid molecules, as well as our triglycerides extracted from olives, our active waters, or our probiotics, they have been either lab-grown or derived from cutting-edge extraction processes, including soft-extraction and ultra-filtration. These processes focus on precision and concentration in terms of efficacy while providing all the necessary safety guarantees.
The best example of our approach that reconciles nature and science is the use of upcycled biologically active waters derived from Mediterranean organic fruits. This transforms a functional ingredient—which can represent up to 85% of a topical solution—into an active biomimetic ingredient, with compounds that replicate the liquid composition of skin cells. In addition, our use of upcycled waters helps preserve the environment by avoiding the use of demineralized water.

AWvi packaging has been designed to actively contribute to product preservation and ensure consumption until the last drop to avoid any product waste, all while minimizing its environmental impact.
Containers are made of post-consumer recycled material or fully recyclable mono-material—in the event of contact with the formula for safety reasons—while recyclable outer boxes are made from sustainable sources (FSC Certified, which implies the source is forests that are managed with responsibility, offering social benefits, mindful of environmental impacts, and sustainable economically), without use of wrapping paper and unneeded leaflets.
In shipping our products worldwide, we prioritize reducing our carbon footprint by carefully considering the weight of our products. Consequently, we opted for heavier materials like glass, which is particularly recyclable, only for AWvi smallest product bottle—The Power Serum—which not only minimizes environmental impact but also helps in reducing breakage and waste.
We are deepening our dedication to sustainable packaging by introducing refillable options for our products in the near future, further advancing our commitment to environmental responsibility.

Products incorporating medical-grade ingredients are meticulously developed and assessed by healthcare experts, utilizing potent actives. This signifies that such formulations undergo rigorous clinical evaluations to affirm their benefits, ensuring they deliver superior outcomes. The comprehensive clinical validation, coupled with the advanced expertise of the professionals involved, assures users of the products' exceptional quality and safety.
For The Skin Biotic, both the manufacturing process and the packaging adhere to stringent protocols inspired from the pharmaceutical industry, guaranteeing the safety, efficacy and longevity of the product.

An "active ingredient" refers to the component within a product that is biologically active and specifically targeted to address a particular concern or condition. These ingredients are scientifically proven to have a beneficial effect. Active ingredients are the backbone of a product's efficacy, directly contributing to its intended outcomes.
At AWvi, our topical solutions boast active ingredients such as ectoine, hyaluronic acid, triglycerides, and biologically active waters. For our supplement The Skin Biotic, probiotic strains and vitamins are active ingredients.
The quality of our active ingredients and formulations allow us to limit drastically the addition of other compounds such as functional ingredients that contribute to ensure the product remains effective, safe, and usable over time.
The concentration of an active ingredient is crucial, as it determines the product's strength and effectiveness. AWvi formulations are carefully developed to include active ingredients at optimum concentration levels for maximum efficacy while minimizing the use of additional ingredients to provide further guarantees in terms of safety.

At AWvi, we are committed to providing products that align with the highest standards of purity and integrity. We proudly confirm that all AWvi formulas are GMO-free. A genetically modified organism (GMO) is defined as any organism (excluding human beings) whose genetic material has been altered through methods that do not occur naturally, such as specific gene splicing techniques or genetic engineering. This modification process contrasts with traditional breeding methods and natural recombination.
Understanding the importance of maintaining the natural essence and safety of our ingredients, AWvi ensures that our formulas contain no genetically modified organisms or ingredients derived from GMOs. This commitment extends to the rigorous selection of raw materials, prioritizing those that adhere to the strictest standards for natural and organic integrity.
At AWvi, we uphold a strict policy against the use of GMOs in our products. This approach reflects our respect for biodiversity, environmental sustainability, and consumer health.

AWvi formulas are composed of biomimetic ingredients, developed to mirror the body's natural physiological processes, and work in harmony with the individual's unique skin biology to promote rebalancing and regeneration. By leveraging the body’s intrinsic mechanisms with a very precise dosage of ingredients, AWvi solutions are expertly designed to provide benefits both at short term and on the long run.
To draw a parallel with a daily used product, consider mineral waters. Some waters may have a composition that is not entirely balanced, beneficial in the short term in the case of certain deficiencies in some specific minerals, but not recommended in the long term, making preferable to rotate brands to avoid an excess of certain minerals that the body is not able to expel. If such a principle may be applicable in the cosmeceutical and nutraceutical fields, AWvi's carefully calibrated formulations are distinct, having been specifically designed to consistently support the skin's health, remaining highly efficient and safe for ongoing use, thus negating the need for such rotation.
In essence, AWvi embraces the principle of 'just right'—meticulously blending the best of nature and science to create solutions that are as safe for long-term use as they are effective, echoing the perfect balance found in nature's own systems. The longer you integrate AWvi solutions into your daily ritual, the more significant the benefits become.

The timeline for seeing results from AWvi solutions can vary from person to person, as individual skin types and conditions respond differently. It's important to consider the skin's full renewal cycle, which typically spans about 28 days for most adults. This natural process allows skin cells to regenerate, which means that some products may require at least one full cycle to demonstrate a full panel of visible improvements.
However, based on the clinical studies we have conducted, many users start noticing the first signs of improvement within an average of two weeks. The extent and nature of these benefits can vary, with some requiring a longer duration of consistent use to fully manifest.
Certain immediate effects can be experienced right after application for some of our products. For example, the cleansing properties of The Gentle Cleanser, the moisturization provided by The Active Cream, and the strong lifting effect of The Power Serum offer instant gratification. These benefits are immediately noticeable and provide a sense of immediate improvement in the skin's appearance and feel.
In summary, while the first noticeable changes might be observed within two weeks on average, the full spectrum of benefits from using AWvi solutions, especially those related to skin rebalancing and regeneration, may unfold over a longer period with consistent use. Patience and persistence are key, as the skin gradually responds to the nourishing and restorative ingredients in our formulations.

The Skin Method has been meticulously developed to cater to all your skin's needs, offering a comprehensive approach to skincare. Our products are formulated to work in synergy, enhancing each other's effects for exponential outcomes. This synergistic design is the primary reason we recommend using AWvi solutions exclusively for your skincare ritual, ensuring that you receive the full benefits of our carefully calibrated method.
However, we understand the desire or necessity to incorporate other products into your ritual, including makeup, considering that The Active Cream is designed for fast absorption, making it an excellent base for such a further application. Please note that if you choose to use additional products on your skin, it's crucial to select those of highest quality in terms of ingredients to prevent any potential irritation. This is especially important because AWvi solutions are designed to optimize ingredient penetration into the skin, which could potentially interact with ingredients from lower-quality products.

Cosmeceutical products—like AWvi topical solutions—are a hybrid of cosmetics and pharmaceuticals, combining elements of both to offer skincare solutions that go beyond basic cosmetic benefits. These products contain active ingredients with singular properties, aimed at supporting skin health enhancement and addressing specific concerns. Unlike traditional cosmetics, cosmeceuticals undergo rigorous scientific testing to ensure efficacy and safety. While they may not treat medical conditions like pharmaceuticals, cosmeceuticals contribute to improving skin appearance and function, supporting overall skin health and vitality through their specialized formulations.

AWvi solutions have been meticulously crafted to meet the diverse needs of individuals across all ages, genders, and skin complexions. The foundation of AWvi's formulations lies in the biomimetic properties of their ingredients. These properties enable AWvi's products to harmoniously adapt to and enhance the natural physiological mechanisms unique to each individual. Furthermore, the intrinsic properties of AWvi ingredients are designed to provide you with the specific benefits you need, exactly when you need them.

Yes, AWvi adheres to the stringent regulations set forth by the European Union, which prohibit animal testing for cosmetics and their ingredients. In addition to our 100% cruelty-free solutions, we are pleased to inform our customers that our products are also lactose-free and vegan. This means that no animal-derived ingredients are used in our formulations, aligning with our vision for ethical solutions and allowing us to provide products that are kind and conscious, not just to animals, but also to our customers with specific dietary preferences and values.

AWvi solutions are meticulously crafted with a dual focus: to naturally support your body’s physiological mechanisms for skin health and to offer protection against external aggressors that can compromise the body’s innate regenerative capabilities. Starting using AWvi solutions in your 20s is recommended, as it lays the groundwork for long-term skin health and preemptively combats the early signs of aging.
This proactive approach is not just about supporting the body's production of hyaluronic acid, collagen, and elastin—crucial for maintaining hydration, elasticity, and firmness—but also about shielding the skin from environmental factors that can compromise skin health and accelerate ageing. By protecting the skin from these external challenges, AWvi solutions can help preserve the body’s natural ability to regenerate and maintain healthy skin.

AWvi solutions are meticulously designed to cater to the needs of all skin types, with a special emphasis on addressing the concerns of sensitive skin, offering solutions that not only meet but exceed the expectations of those with delicate skin. Our commitment to inclusivity and efficacy is reflected in our choice of medical-grade ingredients, which boast the highest purity levels and are free from any contaminants. This careful selection process allows us to formulate our solutions without the need for additives that could possess irritant properties, making our products particularly suited for individuals with sensitive skin.
Understanding the unique needs of sensitive skin, we have not only conducted comprehensive clinical studies to verify the efficacy of our products but have also undertaken targeted dermatological studies. These studies specifically assess the safety of our solutions on sensitive skin types, ensuring that our formulations are gentle yet effective.
While our products are designed to be as accommodating as possible for sensitive skin, it's important to acknowledge that individual skin responses can vary. Ingredients that are generally considered gentle, including natural components like essential oils or fruit extracts, may still trigger sensitivities in certain individuals. Therefore, in the spirit of transparency and to facilitate informed decisions, we provide a complete list of ingredients for each product on our website. You can also conduct a patch test with a small amount of the product —about the size of a coin—on the inside of the wrist area. We suggest leaving it on for a full day to monitor any potential reactions. Should you notice any redness or other signs of irritation, it's possible that the product contains an ingredient your skin does not tolerate. This step can help ascertain how your skin might react before incorporating it into your broader ritual.

Yes, AWvi solutions are designed to be hypoallergenic, catering especially to sensitive skin, supported by clinical and dermatological studies. However, individual reactions can vary, so we recommend a patch test for personal assurance, applying a small amount of the product —about the size of a coin—on the inside of the wrist area. We suggest leaving it on for a full day to monitor any potential reactions. Should you notice any redness or other signs of irritation, it's possible that the product contains an ingredient your skin does not tolerate.
For further details, you can consult the dedicated studies section into our website.

Yes, AWvi topical solutions are designed to be safe for use during pregnancy and breastfeeding. However, as every individual’s situation is unique, we strongly recommend consulting with a qualified healthcare provider if you are pregnant or nursing to address any specific concerns you may have.

Since Hyaluronic Acid is a natural component of our bodies, it poses no danger or harm. It's suitable for individuals who prioritize skincare and grasp the significance of supporting overall skin health through skin hydration maintenance and its barrier function protection.

The Power Serum features a transparent, lightweight, and easily absorbable gel texture, making it effortless to apply and quick to penetrate the skin. The gel texture ensures smooth application, allowing the serum to deliver its active ingredients effectively for optimal results.

Hyaluronic Acid (HA) is a naturally occurring compound in our bodies, predominantly found in connective tissues, skin, and eyes. It serves as a key component of the extracellular matrix, providing structural support to cells and tissues.
During youth, our bodies produce ample amounts of HA, contributing to the skin's firmness, elasticity, and overall hydration. However, as we age, the production of HA gradually decreases, leading to diminished levels in the skin and resulting in dryness, loss of elasticity, and the formation of wrinkles and fine lines.
One of the remarkable qualities of HA is its exceptional ability to retain moisture. It has the capacity to hold up to 1000 times its weight in water, making it a highly effective hydrating agent for the skin. By maintaining cellular moisture levels, HA helps to keep the skin plump, supple, and well-hydrated, promoting a youthful and radiant complexion.
In addition to its moisturizing properties, HA also possesses anti-inflammatory effects, helping to soothe and calm irritated or inflamed skin. This makes it particularly beneficial for individuals with sensitive or reactive skin types.
Furthermore, HA plays a crucial role in wound healing and tissue repair. It promotes the proliferation of skin cells and supports the formation of new blood vessels, aiding in the regeneration of damaged skin tissues.
By incorporating HA into skincare products, such as serums and creams, it can help replenish and maintain optimal levels of hydration in the skin, improve elasticity, and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

What sets our products apart is our commitment to innovation in developing next-generation ingredients, particularly our hyaluronic acid. We have reimagined the role of HA and harnessed advanced biotechnologies to create a polysaccharide with distinct characteristics. This next-gen biomimetic HA is immediately recognized and embraced by the body.
Our next-gen HA—named Hyaluronans 3D—is unique in that it consists of particles of varying sizes, each with its specific function. These particles range from small ones that delve deep into the epidermis to medium and large ones that work closer to the skin's surface. This diversity of molecular sizes allows us to address different skin layers effectively.
Through a continuous and controlled fermentation process, carefully adjusting temperature and pressure, we have optimized each molecular weight to offer specific functionalities and benefits tailored to each product.
The Gentle Cleanser contains HA with a high molecular weight, making it ideal for cleansing and providing essential hydration to the epidermis. It helps remove impurities, maintain the skin's moisture balance, and enhance the protective barrier function, all while promoting the absorption of subsequent skincare products.
The Active Cream incorporates medium molecular weight HA, allowing it to penetrate both the epidermis and the dermis. This unique formulation provides deep hydration, reinforces the skin's structure, reduces the appearance of fine lines, and improves elasticity, enhancing the absorption of other beneficial ingredients.
The Power Serum features a broad molecular weight spectrum of HA, ensuring it reaches all three primary skin layers—the epidermis, dermis, and hypodermis. This comprehensive approach provides complete hydration, supports collagen production, and helps the skin resist external stressors, all while maximizing the absorption of co-occurring active ingredients.
In addition to providing targeted benefits to each layer of the skin, our next-generation HA also serves as a facilitator for other active ingredients. It bolsters the penetration of these ingredients throughout the various layers of the skin, enhancing their effectiveness. This synergy ensures that the skin receives the full benefits of our carefully selected active components.

AWvi topical solutions share a common thread with some of our key active ingredients, one of which is our Ectoine, representing the forefront of biotechnological innovation. This molecule is a type of postbiotic, a term that refers to beneficial compounds produced by bacteria. Postbiotics, unlike probiotics which are live bacteria, are non-living substances.
Ectoine is derived from a specific amino acid and was originally discovered as a product of microorganisms surviving in extreme conditions like desert environments. These bacteria, thriving in harsh climates, produce the Ectoine molecule as a protective measure against intense external conditions.
Harnessing this natural defense mechanism, Ectoine in AWvi topical solutions serves multiple purposes:
- By promoting the synthesis of vital strengthening peptides, Ectoine aids in skin regeneration and fortifies its natural defenses. This makes it exceptionally effective in enhancing the skin's resilience against environmental stressors such as UV radiation, pollution, and extreme temperatures. Strengthening the skin's natural barrier, Ectoine also enhances the skin's ability to protect itself from harmful substances and bacteria.
- Ectoine is also known for its hydration properties. It helps the skin retain moisture, which is crucial for maintaining skin elasticity and smoothness. This moisture-binding capacity also helps in reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
- Ectoine’s protective and reparative properties help in reducing hyperpigmentation and evening out skin tone.
- Additionally, Ectoine acts as an antioxidant, helping to neutralize free radicals that can cause oxidative stress and aging in the skin.
- Furthermore, Ectoine has calming effects on the skin, making it beneficial for sensitive or irritated skin. It can reduce redness and soothe inflammation.

Beyond its provided benefits, Ectoine works in synergy with the other active ingredients of both our topical range and The Skin Biotic, making it also one of the pillars of The Skin Method.
In fact, as a postbiotic, Ectoine plays a crucial role in balancing the skin's microbiome—essential to support skin health and condition improvement—from the outside-in.
It provides exponential benefits when combined with our nutraceutical product—The Skin Biotic—which capitalizes on the symbiotic relationship between the gut and the skin—often referred to as the 'gut-skin axis'. It is made of curated and fine-tuned proprietary strains nurturing a harmonious skin microbiome balance, from the inside-out.
Ectoine, combined with the other active ingredients, that make up both our topical and nutraceutical formulas, provides synergistic actions for a broad range of exponential benefits.

Ectoine is an extremely versatile ingredient that can benefit a wide range of skin types due to its multifaceted properties.
Its ability to retain moisture makes it ideal for dry or dehydrated skin. Those with sensitive skin can benefit from Ectoine's soothing and anti-inflammatory properties. It helps reduce redness, irritation, and discomfort often associated with sensitive skin conditions. Ectoine’s protective qualities and its ability to support the skin's barrier and retain moisture make it also beneficial for mature skin. It helps in reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and protects against environmental factors that accelerate ageing. While Ectoine is deeply hydrating, it is not greasy and does not clog pores, making it suitable for oily or acne-prone skin. Ectoine's balancing effect makes it suitable for combination skin as well, providing hydration without exacerbating oiliness in certain areas.
Furthermore, Ectoine impacts the skin microenvironment, safeguarding both the skin microbiota and the skin itself against external stressors, ensuring uniform effectiveness across all skin types.

- Hydration and moisturization: The Power Serum, with its broad molecular weight spectrum of HA, provides deep hydration to all skin layers, including the hypodermis, ensuring that the skin remains thoroughly moisturized and plump. The Active Cream complements this by adding an additional layer of hydration, concentrating on the epidermal and dermal layers. Together, they create a powerful moisture barrier that locks in hydration and prevents moisture loss, resulting in a complexion that feels soft, supple, and well-nourished. This dual-layered hydration approach addresses the skin's moisture needs comprehensively.
- Skin Regeneration: The Power Serum ability to optimize hydration and nourishment within the dermis supports collagen maintenance while The Active Cream focuses on skin structure and elasticity in the epidermal and dermal layers. This coordinated effort helps to skin regeneration and the reduction of wrinkles and fine lines, while improving the skin's firmness, elasticity, and overall texture, resulting in a more youthful appearance.
- Protection Against External Factors and Anti-inflammation: Both products contribute to the skin's resistance against external stressors. The Power Serum fortifies the skin's outermost layer, the epidermis, providing a robust defense against environmental aggressors. Simultaneously, The Active Cream helps maintain the integrity of the dermal layer, reinforcing the skin's barrier function. Together, they form a comprehensive defense mechanism that shields the skin from damage caused by pollution, UV rays, and other external factors, promoting a healthier and more resilient complexion. Furthermore, the two products work in synergy for an anti-inflammatory action, helping to soothe and calm irritated skin.
- Glowing & Radiance: The combined benefits of hydration, collagen support, skin regeneration, and defense provided by The Power Serum and The Active Cream result in a radiant and glowing complexion. The skin appears more youthful, vibrant, and naturally radiant.
The Power Serum and The Active Cream are two main components of The Skin Method—composed of four products—which have been developed together to provide complementary and synergistic actions for exponential benefits.

Yes, AWvi solutions do contain fragrance, albeit very lightly. Specifically, a very light fragrance has been introduced into The Gentle Cleanser and The Active Cream. It's important to note that these fragrances have been carefully formulated to ensure proven tolerability, free of any known allergens. The introduction of fragrance is aimed at enhancing the overall wellness experience while using the solutions, providing a subtle and pleasant sensory aspect to your ritual.
Regarding The Skin Biotic supplement, it's worth noting that no flavour has been intentionally added to it. Any light taste it may have is solely due to the presence of Vitamin A.

The duration a 30ml bottle of The Power Serum will last depends on individual usage habits. For optimal results, we recommend applying a few drops of the serum twice daily, every day. However, usage may vary based on frequency of application and the amount applied per use. Following our recommended usage, a 30ml bottle should last approximately 4 to 6 weeks.

AWvi's exclusive formulation of The Power Serum boasts a meticulously crafted blend of low, medium, and high molecular weight Hyaluronic Acid, precisely calibrated to enhance absorption by the skin. This unique combination ensures peak effectiveness, with an optimal concentration level that far exceeds industry standards.

Most skincare products are composed largely of water (up to 85%, by volume), which serves primarily as a base. We have made this essential component an active ingredient. 
Our biologically active water is upcycled, extracted from the non-edible portions of organic Mediterranean green mandarins (The Power Serum) and red oranges (The Gentle Cleanser and The Active Cream). 
Compared to demineralised or distilled water, our microbiologically pure water offers a protective effect against oxidation, UV rays, and pollution.
Our active water also has anti-inflammatory properties and forms a protective film that strengthens the skin barrier. Moreover, it contains a type of salt that is recognised by the body and assists in the absorption of other ingredients.

A biomimetic ingredient is designed to closely replicate the natural physiological compounds found within the human body, ensuring that these substances are recognized and treated as familiar by the body's systems. This recognition maximizes the ingredient's absorption and metabolization, leveraging the body's inherent mechanisms for a more efficient and effective interaction. By mirroring the body's own molecules, biomimetic ingredients facilitate a harmonious integration, enhancing the overall compatibility and functionality of products containing these innovative components. This concept is grounded in the principle of biomimicry, aiming to emulate biological processes for improved performance and safety.
