The skin is a living organ, dynamic, protective, revealing. In TCM it is an organ of discernment, charged with the function of sorting what to preserve, and what to defend against. At Qi Formularie we hold to a simple precept: good in/bad out.
Our proprietary formulations are constructed by a fully-certified and practicing TCM/Classical Oriental Medicine Practitioner with a Western biology/healthcare background and a lifetime passion for natural skincare formula creation.
Categorized in terms of action, based on treatment principles intended to target identified disharmonies, our proprietary formulations are presented via the TCM paradigm. Their actions can be correlated to the needs of the following skin types:
