About
ABOUT ALOÏSE
Designed to heighten the senses and bring our awareness to the present, Aloïse’s offerings, stemming from the old German Alwiz, or “All Wise,” are daily reminders of both the all-knowingness of nature…and the intuitive understanding found in our true selves.
— Aloïse is a line of botanical skincare developed for conscious connection with one’s essential Self.
— Each product in the collection is created with active botanical ingredients—a shared sensory language grounded in specific expertise, the generational wisdom of plants, and listening to the landscape.
— Aloïse is based in Belgium, with all products handmade in limited batches in Italy.
— Each offering prioritizes biodynamic, organic, and seasonal sourcing—working with respect for resources and minimizing excess.
— Guided by what’s beautifully essential, every product is connected through quality, purpose, and a passion for plant-based ingredients.
Sophie Engelen’s work explores and unearths subtle perspectives on personal wellbeing. A lifelong learner, she has over 20 years of experience as an esthetician, makeup artist, massage therapist, health & nutrition consultant, herbalist, and ongoing student in the modalities of holistic healing, and plant medicine. Aloïse is inspired by Sophie’s love of the natural world —a passion inherited from her late father, and that she hopes to pass down to her two daughters. Her philosophy was further enriched by a period of living in Los Angeles, where she continued formal herbalism studies while connecting on a deep level with the local community of holistic healers and experts in traditional plant medicine.
