science-backed, proven to work

Drawing upon the disciplines of biochemistry, neuroscience and the social sciences, our formulations support the body's natural circadian rhythm and are rigorously tested in clinical, fMRI and user studies.

expert advice

"Working memory is the brain's ability to temporarily hold and manipulate information for tasks like problem-solving, decision-making, and following instructions."

geek mode

We conducted a pilot fMRI study to assess the impact of our In The Zone Functional Fragrance on working memory. The study included healthy women, aged 38-64, who performed two tasks aimed to evaluate motor and spatial working memory: Digit Forward-Backward Repetition Test and the Maze Navigation Test. Our fragrance was tested against a placebo and was found to have the potential to enhance working memory and cognitive performance.*

clinically tested

Our In The Zone Functional Fragrance has been tested in a pilot fMRI brain imaging study which indicated the potential to activate several areas of the brain essential for working memory functions.*

geek mode

Our Functional Fragrances are tested against a placebo and measured in clinical studies using fMRI (functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging) and ECG (electrocardiogram). Our Functional Fragrances can be seen as having additional physiological benefits, due to interaction with the limbic system, which in turn can stimulate the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. As part of a programme to understand how different aromas can stimulate different emotional responses, This Works, in collaboration with Professor Gaby Badre, identified a library of Functional Fragrances shown to have a relationship with emotions, such as joy (Perfect), relaxation and reward (Love Sleep), alertness (Morning Expert) and stress reduction (Stress Check).

In an fMRI , pilot study we have shown that In the Zone Functional Fragrance activated several areas of the brain essential for working memory functions. These included the brain stem (linked to attention and alertness), the orbitofrontal cortex and the prefrontal cortex (areas heavily involved in cognitive control and decision-making), as well as the Anterior Cingulate Cortex. These brain areas are essential for working memory functions, allowing the subject to retain and utilise information while performing tasks. In The Zone products showed the strongest performance in working memory tests (verbal and spatial) when tested against a commercial fragranced product and un-fragranced lotion.*

In The Zone Functional Fragrance

Petitgrain, Eucalyptus, Patchouli and Frankincense create a stimulating fragrance blend that helps to re-focus the mind.

geek mode

We conducted a pilot study that explored the potential cognitive benefits of our blend of Petitgrain, Eucalyptus, Patchouli and Frankincense. Results indicated that participants exposed to this fragrance outperformed placebo and control groups in both verbal and spatial working memory tasks.

The scent was also rated most pleasant, suggesting a link between olfactory stimulation and improved cognitive function. Alongside increasing attention and alertness, brain imaging revealed activation of regions critical to working memory and attention, such as the prefrontal cortex and anterior cingulate cortex. These findings cautiously suggest the fragrance's potential to enhance cognitive performance.

Skin Hydration Complex

Restores skin barrier function, prevents dryness and supports a balanced skin microbiome.

geek mode

This advanced Hydration Complex provides deep, long-lasting hydration and helps restore skin barrier function. Known for its ability to relieve dry skin, it leaves skin feeling soft and smooth just one hour after washing, with a calming effect that lasts up to 24 hours. This makes it ideal for maintaining skin comfort and hydration throughout the day.

As a unique skin-identical carbohydrate, it offers prolonged hydration, potentially lasting up to 72 hours, even in rinse-off formulations. By reinforcing the natural skin barrier, it prevents cycles of dryness, irritation, and inflammation. Additionally, it supports a balanced skin microbiome, further contributing to overall skin health.

The Complex has an ability to lock onto the skin surface ensuring moisture retention, preventing overnight dryness and keeping the skin hydrated and comfortable. This powerful ingredient is key to helping maintain a healthy, hydrated complexion over time, making it an integral ingredient for our round-the-clock skin solutions.
