Ki'olal Biocosmetics
Where Ancient Mayan Wisdom Meets Modern Skincare Science
A luxury intentional skincare brand rooted in Mayan ceremonial traditions, Mexican botanicals, and biocosmetic innovation — purpose-built for Ulta's Wellness revolution.
The Opportunity
The Wellness Beauty Market is Exploding
Consumers are shifting from cosmetic routines to intentional wellness rituals. Ki'olal sits at the intersection of the three fastest-growing beauty segments.
The Founder
Jessica Treviño
Born in Monterrey, Mexico. Raised between two worlds — Mayan ceremonial wisdom passed down through generations and modern biocosmetic science. Jessica created Ki'olal to restore the nervous system through intentional skincare, bridging ancestral knowledge with clinical efficacy.
The Ceremonia System
Not Just Products. A Sacred Skincare Ritual.
Ki'olal's Ceremonia system transforms daily skincare into a parasympathetic activation experience. Two ceremonias — Sol (morning energizing) and Luna (evening restoration) — each with 4 steps, copal incense, and frequency-aligned formulations.
- Sol Ceremonia — Morning energizing ritual with 285 Hz frequency alignment
- Luna Ceremonia — Evening restoration with 174 Hz parasympathetic activation
- Artisanal Copal Incense — Hand-harvested by Chinanteco artisans in Oaxaca
- Cactus Leather Case — From organic Zacatecas ranch, zero-irrigation
The Science
5-Pillar Biocosmetic Formulation Architecture
Every Ki'olal product is built on a proprietary 5-pillar framework combining ancestral Mexican botanicals with cutting-edge biocosmetic technology.
- Regeneration — Prickly Pear Stem Cells + Bio-Retinol from Bakuchiol
- Hydration — Prickly Pear Seed Oil + Ectoin (extremophile-derived)
- Antioxidant — Cocoa Fruit Ferment + Pumpkin Fruit Ferment
- Radiance — Vitamin C + Niacinamide + Chayote Extract
- Sensory — Copal resin + Damiana + Vanilla from Papantla
