Get to know Monastery.
Esthetician Athena Hewett’s account connects Monastery with childhood visits to Greece and a longstanding interest in botanical ingredients. The company makes its products in its San Francisco lab. Gold offers a particular material story within that collection: oil pressed from sandalwood nuts, rather than the aromatic wood commonly associated with the tree.

A few pieces tell the story in their own way, through a shape, a material or a familiar gesture.
A closer look.
What catches our eye.
The oil format puts texture and a small application gesture at the centre. Its floral aromatic ingredients create a different experience from an unscented cream, even when both belong to facial care.
