CORPS REVIVER
During the Roman Republic, the statesman, philosopher and orator Cicero declared that “the human hand is the most perfect tool”. Over two thousand years later, we believe this to still hold true. Hands are a marvel of nature containing over a quarter of the bones in our bodies and have an abundance of nerve endings allowing for both awesome strength and delicate manipulation. According to Cicero’s philosophy, our hands are an extension of the mind, embodying not only physical power but also our intellectual and creative potential. In other words, whether your métier is art, science, technology or craftsmanship, our hands enable us to bring ideas into reality.
Cicero’s point is further resonating through all the great art that has been created, not just by the human hand, but with the hand itself as the protagonist and muse: From Michelangelo’s fresco in the Sistine Chapel when God gives life to Adam and Nick Cave’s gothic, moody masterpiece Red Right Hand to Le Corbusier’s sculpture Monument to the Open Hand and The Beatles’ first US hit I Want to Hold your Hand, they seem to be an endless source of inspiration. So why don’t we take better care of them? Why do we allow our most precious ‘tool’ to become dry, dull and flaky?
To remedy this, Heretic has created the exquisite Corps Reviver, a weightless serum that instantly rehydrates tired, dry hands. This unique, non-greasy formulation contains two hero ingredients that deliver truly spectacular results. Leaning into our love for all things gothic, this alchemical masterpiece features spider silk which imparts microscopic proteins that instantly absorb into the hands. Mimicking the natural keratin found in our skin, it can hold up to 300 times its weight in water, making this serum a hydration powerhouse that will leave even the most dull hands feeling restored and luxuriously silky-soft.
This pampering blend also includes sacred Hinoki oil sustainably harvested from Japanese cypress trees. Although its woody, refreshing and citrusy aroma could be considered reviving enough on its own, Hinoki is praised for its rejuvenating, calming and grounding effects on both the skin and mind. Symbolically, we also love the fact that in Japan, Hinoki represents strength, peace and longevity because of the thousand-year lifespan of these resilient trees. May our hands remain smooth and supple for at least as long!
So join us as we resurrect dry and tired hands by making Corps Reviver a silky, hydrating staple in our routine and discover what creative powers might flow as a result.
Like all of Heretic’s creations, Corps Reviver is made from natural, cruelty free and sustainable ingredients.
