Behind the Bottle: The Journey of a Setosa Serum

By Alice Anzanello

Every drop has a purpose.

What goes into a bottle of Setosa?
More than just a formula, it’s a philosophy. From ethically sourced snail mucin to sustainably printed labels and hand-folded packaging, every detail of a Setosa serum is guided by science, softness, and intention.

Let’s take you behind the scenes.

It Begins with the Ingredient

At the heart of every Setosa serum is COSMOS-certified snail mucin, sourced exclusively through the Cherasco Method® in Northern Italy. This patented process ensures the snails are never harmed or stressed, producing a mucin that is not only ethical, but purer and more effective for skin regeneration and hydration.

Each serum also includes other carefully selected actives like:

  • Liposomal hyaluronic acid for deep hydration
  • Orchid stem cells for firmness and radiance
  • Marine collagen and black pearl for smoothing and anti-ageing benefits

Every ingredient is there for a reason. No fillers. No shortcuts.

Formulated in Italy. Designed in Australia.

Once the bioactives are sourced, our serums are formulated and manufactured in Italy under strict dermatological guidelines, using pH-balanced bases to ensure skin compatibility, even for sensitive skin.

Meanwhile, our Australian team ensures that each product tells a visual and tactile story, from minimal branding to custom textures, and from dropper design to finish.

Packaging with Purpose

Every Setosa bottle is housed in recyclable packaging, folded by hand and embossed with the brand’s subtle monogram.

The result? A skincare product that feels like a gift, every time you open it.

Shipped with Intention

Orders are packed in our ACT-based HQ and shipped globally with care. We use minimal, plastic-free fillers and encourage reuse or recycling of all packaging. As we grow, we remain committed to transparency, traceability, and responsibility... because the journey doesn’t end when the bottle is sealed.

Every Bottle Tells a Story

To us, luxury means more than efficacy... it means care, consciousness, and craftsmanship. And in every bottle of Setosa, that’s exactly what you’ll find.
