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.
