What exactly is Activated Oxygen Technology (AOT)?

Activated Oxygen Technology (AOT) uses medical-grade ozone (O₃) stabilised in premium plant oils, creating ozonated oils with powerful properties that work within the skin. AOT can scavenge free radicals to help prevent oxidative stress, accelerate cell turnover for faster skin renewal, and create an environment where bacteria, fungi, and viruses struggle to survive. It also indirectly supports collagen synthesis. Unlike products that treat surface symptoms, our AOT targets concerns at their source within the skin whilst enhancing how other beneficial ingredients perform.

What is the Activated Oxygen Technology (AOT) “multiplier effect”?

We call this AOT’s “multiplier effect” - our term for how ozonated oils can enhance the performance of other ingredients in our formulations. AOT’s antimicrobial properties help create an optimal skin environment whilst supporting better ingredient absorption and skin receptivity to beneficial compounds. This synergistic approach means many users experience enhanced results from every ingredient in our formulations.

Is there research supporting the benefits of Activated Oxygen Technology (AOT) for skin?

Ozonated oils have documented antimicrobial properties and have been studied in various therapeutic applications. Our Activated Oxygen Technology builds upon this established science, creating a stable delivery system that allows these antimicrobial benefits to be harnessed in daily skincare formulations.

Oxygen is a gas - how is it added to your products?

We bubble medical grade ozone through premium grade plant oils (like extra virgin olive oil), until they are fully saturated, changing the oils from liquid form to a Vaseline-like balm / paste.  We then blend the fully Ozonated Oil with targeted actives, which are chosen based on what we are addressing (acne/hyperpigmentation/ fine lines & wrinkles etc), yielding a  topical skincare product that acts as a delivery system for the ozone.  

The process for the oil to be fully saturated with ozone takes approx. 3 weeks, in our custom designed, purpose-built ozonator. Our Ozonated Oil “balm” is the cornerstone of every Activ O2 product, and our secret sauce.

NB: the medical grade ozone we use should not be confused with atmospheric ozone - it is not the same thing.

How does Activated Oxygen Technology (AOT) benefit different skin concerns?

AOT works within the skin to help address various concerns at their source. Its antimicrobial properties can help eliminate bacteria, fungi, and viruses that contribute to skin problems, whilst accelerating cell turnover for faster skin renewal. AOT also scavenges free radicals to help prevent oxidative stress and indirectly supports collagen synthesis. For acne-prone skin, AOT targets the root bacterial causes whilst supporting skin renewal. For brightening concerns, the accelerated cell turnover helps reveal fresher skin whilst working synergistically with brightening ingredients. For age-related concerns, the indirect collagen synthesis and free radical scavenging properties help address fundamental ageing processes.

Does Activated Oxygen Technology (AOT) support skin healing and recovery?

Yes, AOT can support the skin’s natural healing processes through its antimicrobial properties and acceleration of cell turnover. This helps maintain optimal skin health during breakout recovery and supports the renewal of healthy skin tissue for many users.

Does Activated Oxygen Technology (AOT) have any specific benefits for mature skin?

Absolutely. AOT’s indirect collagen synthesis, free radical scavenging properties, and enhanced ingredient effectiveness make it particularly valuable for mature skin concerns, helping to address fundamental ageing processes whilst optimising the performance of our age-supporting ingredients.

How does Activated Oxygen Technology (AOT) enhance hydration in the skin?

Activated Oxygen Technology can support skin hydration through multiple mechanisms. It helps strengthen the skin barrier to prevent moisture loss, enhances the effectiveness of hydrating ingredients, improves circulation to deliver moisture-supporting nutrients, and optimises cellular function for better natural moisture balance. This comprehensive approach can create deeper, longer-lasting hydration than surface moisturisers alone for many users.

How does Activated Oxygen Technology (AOT) help with skin-related confidence issues?

Activated Oxygen Technology addresses skin concerns at their root level, potentially delivering results that go beyond surface improvements. By enhancing cellular function and accelerating skin renewal, AOT can help transform the skin challenges that impact confidence. When your skin becomes clearer, brighter, or more balanced, you naturally feel more comfortable in your own skin. For those who’ve struggled with visible skin concerns affecting their daily interactions or social confidence, AOT’s comprehensive approach to skin transformation has the potential to be genuinely life changing.

 

How is Activated Oxygen Technology (AOT) different from other skincare technologies?

Unlike many technologies that target single concerns, Activated Oxygen Technology works comprehensively to help optimise multiple skin functions simultaneously. While other technologies often add more ingredients or use harsh concentrations, AOT focuses on enhancing the performance of carefully selected ingredients. This can create gentler formulations with superior benefits for many users.

 

Is Activated Oxygen Technology (AOT) safe to use on skin?

Yes, when properly stabilised and delivered as in our formulations. We use medical-grade ozone that’s safely incorporated into plant oils, making it completely different from atmospheric ozone. Our process creates a gentle yet powerful treatment that’s suitable for most skin types.

Can Activated Oxygen Technology (AOT) be used on sensitive or reactive skin?

Yes. Activated Oxygen Technology is often beneficial for sensitive skin because it works with your skin’s natural processes rather than against them. Our formulations avoid harsh irritants, and many users with sensitivity report that AOT products are gentler than others they’ve tried while still delivering effective results. However, every skin is different, and it is important to perform a patch test before fully incorporating any new product into your routine. Apply a small amount of the product to a patch of skin, such as the inside of your arm, and observe for any reactions over 24 hours. If irritation develops, discontinue use and consult a dermatologist if necessary.

 

Will my skin become dependent on Activated Oxygen Technology (AOT) products?

No. Activated Oxygen Technology works by supporting your skin’s natural functions, not replacing them. You can start and stop using these products without dependency. However, you’ll likely want to continue using them for the ongoing benefits to your skin’s appearance and health.

How long does it take for Activated Oxygen Technology (AOT) to start working on my skin?

Activated Oxygen Technology begins working immediately upon application, though visible results develop over time. Many users report noticing improved skin feel and appearance within the first few applications. More significant transformations typically develop with consistent use over several weeks as AOT supports cellular renewal and enhanced ingredient effectiveness.

Can I see or feel the Activated Oxygen Technology (AOT) working on my skin?

While you can’t “see” Activated Oxygen Technology itself, some users report sensory effects upon application, including a refreshed feeling and improved texture. The real evidence comes in the visible results that can develop with consistent use—clearer skin, more even tone, improved firmness, or enhanced radiance depending on the products you’re using.

 

Why do products with Activated Oxygen Technology (AOT) have a distinct scent?

The distinct scent in our products is the natural aroma of Activated Oxygen (or Ozone)—reminiscent of fresh air after a thunderstorm. Unlike many skincare brands that use artificial fragrances to mask the smell of their ingredients, we’ve chosen to preserve this natural scent as a badge of authenticity.

While some may find the aroma unexpected at first, we invite you to view it as confirmation that you’re using a product with genuine AOT. This powerful ingredient is working to transform your skin without the interference of synthetic fragrances that could potentially cause irritation. As you experience the remarkable benefits of our formulations, this initial scent becomes a reassuring reminder that you’re nurturing your skin with pure, effective ingredients.
