Brand Spotlight: Ziver Organiques - Turning Waste into Worth
This week we are shining our light on indie skincare brand Ziver Organiques.
Meet Ziver Organiques, a skincare brand founded by Tuna Yoney, a cosmetic formulator with a clear purpose: to create effective, sustainable skincare for sensitive skin. Guided by the belief that sustainability, efficacy, and sensitivity can go hand in hand, Tuna formulates using upcycled botanicals and eco-conscious actives that transform what would otherwise be discarded into high-performance, skin-loving products.
From Banking to Beauty: A Journey Rooted in Purpose
Before founding Ziver Organiques, Tuna worked in banking and finance, a demanding career that left him struggling with stressed, dry skin. “I was never truly satisfied with the products available in stores. They felt either too harsh or too basic, never addressing the real needs of my skin” he recalls. That frustration sparked a new passion for formulation.
Tuna retrained, graduating from both Formula Botanica and the Institute of Personal Care Science, and soon began making waves in the industry. In 2023, Ziver Organiques was named runner-up at MakeUp in New York, chosen from 85 brands globally. In 2024, Tuna became a finalist at the Provital Rising Stars Challenge, an international competition celebrating creativity, innovation, and technical skill in cosmetic formulation.
Upcycling for the Planet and the Skin
The mission behind Ziver Organiques is simple yet powerful: to transform waste into worth. Each formulation is created with integrity, reducing food waste pollution and conserving resources through the use of upcycled ingredients.
By using biowater from drying seaweed, every 100 jars of Ziver Organiques product save the equivalent of 50 litres of fresh water compared to conventional sourcing methods. It’s skincare that nurtures the skin while respecting the planet.
Hero Ingredient: Prebiulin® C90
One of Tuna’s favourite ingredients is Prebiulin® C90, available from us in small quantities starting at 30g.
“Incicellar makes it possible for indie formulators like me to experiment with innovative, sustainably sourced actives without bulk barriers,” says Tuna. “I especially love working with Prebiulin® C90, which I feature in my 2% Hyaluronic Acid + 1% Zinc Serum. Its prebiotic action supports the skin barrier, making it perfect for sensitive and compromised skin, fully aligned with my ethos of formulating gentle, effective products that respect skin health as much as the planet.”
Prebiulin® C90 is a natural thickener, gum, and prebiotic in one, delivering silky, non-sticky textures while supporting the skin microbiome. It’s ideal for both rinse-off and leave-on formulations, and a favourite among formulators for its simplicity, stability, and performance.
Featured Product: 2% Hyaluronic Acid + 1% Zinc PCA Serum
This oil-free serum provides deep hydration and barrier support with four molecular weights of hyaluronic acid and Zinc PCA to help refine texture. Blended with watermelon, cactus, and British lavender extracts, it offers gentle moisture designed for dry and sensitive skin.
Latest Creation: Sensitive Eye Cream
Tuna’s latest creation, the Sensitive Eye Cream, perfectly reflects his brand’s philosophy. Formulated with our upcycled coffee oil, hyaluronic acid, and vitamin C, it helps to revive tired eyes, reduce dark circles and puffiness, and deliver lasting hydration.
“The upcycled coffee oil from Incicellar is the star of the formula, a perfect example of how upcycled ingredients can deliver both sustainability and high-performance skin benefits in one.”
A Philosophy of Integrity
At the heart of Ziver Organiques lies a belief in formulation with conscience.
“Formulation for me is about solving problems with integrity, finding ways to care for the skin while also caring for the planet. That’s why I love working with suppliers like Incicellar. Having access to these thoughtfully sourced ingredients gives me the freedom to create innovative skincare that tells a bigger story: one of sustainability, science, and self-care.”
