The Why Behind Livyond Skincare

Livyond was born under Soursop by Living Beyond Medicine, founded by Amy Lacey. During a season marked by personal and family health challenges, Amy was introduced to soursop through a chance conversation and discovered a fruit that families in the Caribbean had relied on for over 700 years. What began as a moment of hope grew into a mission: to bridge ancient plant wisdom with modern safety standards. That mission first came to life through our Soursop by Living Beyond Medicine supplement line, and now, it expands to skincare with Livyond.

At Livyond, we believe skincare should do more than sit on the surface. It should nurture your skin as the body’s largest organ while delivering results you can see and feel. That’s why we built our line differently, combining the expertise of a chemist with the hands-on experience of our in-house aesthetician.

For two decades, our aesthetician has worked with countless skin types and conditions. Having used exclusively organic skincare lines in the past, she loved the purity but often saw the same limitation: organic alone wasn’t always enough to meet the needs of clients, especially those navigating perimenopause, aging skin, or hormonal shifts. While botanicals nourished, they didn’t always deliver the firmness, brightness, or penetration people were hoping for.

That’s where our chemist came in,  to refine formulas that are not only non-toxic, non-carcinogenic, and hormone-conscious, but also clinically effective. Together, this balance of science and skin therapy shaped a line that carries Amy’s vision forward, putting soursop at the heart of every formula, elevated by innovation and guided by nature.

Why Ingredient Integrity Matters

Your skin isn’t just a surface; it’s a living organ. While its primary role is to protect the body, we know from things like nicotine and hormone patches that certain compounds can be absorbed through the skin and enter the bloodstream directly. Unlike when you eat something (where your liver acts as a filter), what’s absorbed through the skin may bypass that natural detox step.

That’s why we take ingredient selection so seriously. While many natural extracts are gentle and safe, others can have hormone-like properties (known as phytoestrogens). We carefully evaluated this when formulating Livyond, avoiding ingredients with strong estrogenic concerns and choosing botanicals that are both safe and effective. Our approach is hormone-conscious skincare: designed with whole-body health in mind.

Nature + Science in Harmony

• Nature as our foundation: Superfruits like soursop, ocean botanicals like Irish sea moss, and fruit stem cells provide antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals for radiant, resilient skin.
  
• Science as our amplifier: Clean, proven actives like peptides, dual-weight hyaluronic acid, and stabilized Vitamin C elevate those natural ingredients, supporting collagen, hydration, and renewal.

This balance is what makes Livyond different. You don’t have to choose between “all natural but underwhelming” or “effective but questionable.” Our formulas are both botanical at the core and clinical in their results.

Our Mission

Livyond exists to bridge a gap in skincare: to deliver products that are non-toxic, safe for the body, and rooted in nature, yet enhanced with scientific innovation for visible performance.

Because to us, skincare isn’t just about beauty. It’s about honoring the body while helping you look and feel your best at every stage of life. It’s about living well and living beyond.
