The Glow. The Calm. The ÎLES Effect

Hi, I’m Sommer.

​

Founder of ÎLES, lover of salt air, bare feet, and the simple joy of ocean swims.

 

My life has always been about chasing beauty—not the polished kind, but the kind you feel deep in your bones. I’ve swum with sea lions in the Galápagos, sipped sake on quiet mountaintops in Japan, plunged into the icy waters of Lake Baikal, sailed across two oceans, laid amongst wildflowers in Tuscany, slept beneath the stars in Mongolia, and stood in awe beneath the Eiffel Tower.

 

For over 20 years, I’ve been deeply immersed in the world of natural skincare—hands in the earth, heart in the process. My work has been featured in publications worldwide, including some of my favorites: Good Health, Home and Garden, InStyle, and Peppermint magazine.

 

ÎLES is a reflection of everything I love: simplicity, softness, ocean air, and skincare that feels like sunsets.

 

At its heart, ÎLES is a rare, single-origin French pink clay—celebrated for its exceptional purity and natural potency. Sourced from a remote region in southern France, it’s rich in minerals that deeply purify, gently rejuvenate, and restore your skin’s natural radiance.
