Colour
palette
The colour palette for DZĪVA was developed to feel calm, grounded, and quietly alive. Instead of
leaning into the high-contrast, polished aesthetics often seen in skincare branding, these tones
are softer and more natural - closer to skin, soil, leaves, and light. The palette sits in a space that
feels warm but restrained, organic but intentional. It reflects the brand’s focus on honesty and care
without exaggeration, allowing the visuals to breathe and feel approachable. Muted greens and
earthy neutrals connect DZĪVA to Latvian landscapes - forests, moss, and stillness - while warmer
tones introduce a sense of life and warmth without becoming decorative.

DZĪVA is a speculative skincare identity rooted in
honesty, vulnerability, and cultural pride.Inspired by
Latvian nature and a personal journey with acne,
the project explores skincarenot as perfection,
but as care - something lived-in, patient, and
deeply human. Rather than promising trans-
formation, DZĪVA embraces skin as it is: alive,
changing, and deserving of gentleness.

DZĪVA brings together care, culture, and quiet honesty into a considered skincare identity.
Through restrained visual language, tactile packaging, and a gentle brand voice, the project
reframes skincare as an ongoing relationship rather than a promise of perfection. Rooted in
Latvian nature and lived experience, DZĪVA exists as a reminder that skin is alive - changing,
imperfect, and deserving of patience and respect.

Gentle Cleanser
DZĪVA imagines a small, intentional skincare routine.
Each product is designed to support the skin gently -
prioritising care, patience, and everyday rituals over
transformation. Rather than offering excess, it focuses
on a few essential products - created to care for skin
as it lives, changes, and responds.
