ANAS’ INNOVATION

ANAS Crystal Technology

Where science, rituals and crystals meet.

ANAS brings together a real Quartz Crystal, mineral-rich Thermo-Volcanic Water, modern skincare formulation and daily ritual — a single idea carried from research into the moment the product touches skin.

The ANAS Difference

Not another formula with crystal powder in it.

Real Quartz Crystal

A genuine piece of Quartz Crystal is placed directly inside every ANAS Crystal-Infused skincare product — present, not implied.

Thermo-Volcanic Water

Mineral-rich water forms the environment in which the crystal and the formula interact, bringing silica and minerals into the formula.

Experienced Through Ritual

With every use, movement, water, touch and intention bring the crystal into the daily ANAS ritual.

Inside the Innovation

From crystal to ritual, one continuous idea.

Crystal and water, in conversation.

The Quartz Crystal does not sit inert in the bottle. Submerged in mineral-rich Thermo-Volcanic Water, it interacts with the surrounding formula — the basis of ANAS Crystal Technology and the reason the crystal remains present, not extracted, throughout the life of the product.

How It Works

Three chapters of one scientific story.

01

Quartz Crystal & Minerals

The crystal stays in direct contact with its mineral-rich environment, the foundation of the ANAS interaction.

02

Thermo-Volcanic Water & Silica

Mineral-rich water carries silica through the formulation, forming the medium the crystal interacts within.

03

A Crystal That Stays Present

Because the crystal remains inside the product, the interaction is not a single event — it continues with every use.

Experienced through ritual.

The innovation does not end inside the bottle. It continues in the act of using the product — in movement, water, touch, scent and intention. This is where formulation becomes an intentional moment of care, not simply a step in a routine.

The Research Behind the Innovation

Our Crystal Technology

The technology behind the integration of a real Quartz Crystal within a cosmetic formulation was developed through extensive research and is described in ANAS’ international patent publication WO2020025988.

The publication describes our approach to incorporating Quartz Crystal into cosmetic formulations and the interaction between the crystal, mineral-rich water and the surrounding formula.

For ANAS, the patent publication represents one part of a much bigger innovation: bringing together scientific research, Crystal Technology and the relationship between crystals, ritual and intention.

Ritual

The experience of applying the product — movement, touch and intention — as inseparable from the formulation itself.

Our Method

A process unlike conventional skincare.

01

Careful sourcing

Genuine Quartz Crystal, selected and prepared with the product in mind from the start.

02

No prior extraction

The crystal is never extracted from the formula before use — it remains inside the product itself.

03

Thermo-Volcanic Water

Mineral-rich water forms the base in which the crystal and formula continue to interact.

04

Conscious formulation

A deliberate, research-led process — not a shortcut to a crystal-adjacent marketing claim.
