cosmic solis
A Shopify storefront and product art direction for a Melbourne skincare apothecary that puts scent at the center of skin repair.
THE BRIEF
translating a natural-skincare thesis into a shopify shelf.
Cosmic Solis is a natural-skincare apothecary built around a distinctive thesis — that scent, deliberately composed, can shift emotional state alongside the physical work a face oil does on the skin. The brief was to give that thesis a digital home. Design and build a Shopify storefront that lets a small, considered product line breathe. Direct the product and mood photography so the shelf reads as boutique apothecary rather than mass-market beauty. And let the science and the sensory sit next to each other without either one shouting.
WHAT WE DID
01
shopify storefront design & build
- Designed and built the Cosmic Solis Shopify store from scratch — homepage, product pages, cart, and checkout tuned for a boutique D2C skincare launch.
- Structured the architecture so a small, focused product line reads as considered rather than sparse — every page treated as editorial, not filler.
- Configured the store for direct international shipping and repeat-order flows out of Melbourne.
02
product photography direction
- Directed the Mana Oil product photography — from raw shot capture to final art-directed edits — so each bottle reads as a small object of ritual rather than a package on a shelf.
- Delivered a coordinated set of hero, lifestyle, and detail crops sized for the storefront, product pages, and social channels.
03
mood art direction
- Curated the site's atmospheric imagery around the brand's core thesis — botanical stillness, water, natural light — so the browsing experience feels like walking into the apothecary rather than scrolling past it.
- Selected and treated photography (lotus, waterlily, Bali botanic garden) as full-width narrative moments between product and copy blocks.
