The sustainable VOYA skincare products worth stocking up on this summer

Organic, eco-friendly and cruelty-free, Irish lifestyle brand VOYA is the conscious choice for summer skincare

Along with its reputation for beautiful, effective products, VOYA is a frontrunner when it comes to sustainability, and it has pledged to stop the equivalent of over two million single-use plastic bottles from entering the ocean over the next two years

Founded in Co Sligo in 2006, VOYA has harnessed the power of nature, channelling it into a global, award-winning collection of skincare, bodycare and spa treatments.

Organic ingredients are used wherever possible in this innovative range and products contain extracts from seaweed that is sustainably hand-harvested on the west coast of Ireland.

Along with its reputation for beautiful, effective products, VOYA is a frontrunner when it comes to sustainability. Founders Mark and Kira Walton foster the belief that ‘there must be a better way’ and the brand is continuously progressing its eco and sustainability efforts.

It’s a solutions-focused brand too and when it comes to summer skincare, VOYA has it all, from lightweight yet high performing moisturisers and collagen-boosting serums to clever products such as the new Renewal Eyes Eye Masks that will elevate your summer skin routine.

VOYA’s five simple steps to summer skin

Renewal Eyes Eye Masks, €36, voya.ie

The latest launch from the brand, these are 100 per cent pure organic seaweed – nothing more, nothing less. Inspired by the marine eye patches used in luxury VOYA facials, they’re perfect for cooling the under-eye area while also boosting hydration and improving the appearance of dark circles and puffiness.

Cleanse & Mend Facial Cleasing Milk, €34, voya.ie

Cleansing is a core element of any good skincare routine and is all the more important in summer. VOYA’s luxurious Cleanse & Mend is a silky smooth cleansing milk which gently removes make-up while ingredients like pumpkinseed and blackcurrant help to hydrate and de-sensitise skin.

Ritzy Spritzy Facial Spritz, €34, voya.ie

A summer essential, this gentle spritz toner’s blend of botanical herbs and essential oils helps to cool, soothe and hydrate skin. Use it as part of your morning and evening skincare routine and as a coolin mist whenever you need it – great for hot summer days.

Vitamin C Antioxidant Serum, €75, voya.ie

Lightweight yet high performing, this serum is packed with ingredients including hydrating sodium hyaluronate, a fruit and seaweed antioxidant complex, and L-VCG ascorbyl glucoside, a stable form of vitamin C. It deeply penetrates the skin, helps to protect against environmental damage and encourages smoother and more radiant skin.

Pearlesque Hydrating Moisturiser, €64, voya.ie

VOYA’s Pearlesque Hydrating Moisturiser, now in improved packaging, is a must for a glowing complexion. Ideal for dry or dehydrated skin types, it offers a serious hydration boost in hot summer weather thanks to soothing extracts of Rose of Jericho and algae.

VOYA’s Commitment to Sustainability

All VOYA products are packaged using recycled, recyclable, or biodegradable materials and through its partnership with Plastic Bank, VOYA has pledged to stop the equivalent of over two million single-use plastic bottles from entering the ocean over the next two years.

The brand’s carton packaging board is a special blend of FSC certified pulps made with VOYA’s own harvested seaweed and the packing chips are 100 per cent biodegradable (and dissolve in water).

Organic and cruelty free, VOYA voluntarily submits products to be certified by both the Soil Association COSMOS and the Irish Organic Association (IOA) and is certified with the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA).
