Gem & Tonic Gemstones
At Gem & Tonic we use Amethyst extract in our Revive & Refresh, Hair & Scalp Mist to add radiance to the hair. Our Hair & Scalp Mist is designed to breathe life back into your hair in between washes.
Every Gem & Tonic product is enriched with natural gemstone extracts, specially selected for their proven, multi-action benefits. The gemstones in our products are sustainably sourced from the earth and are COSMOS certified by ECOCERT.
The latest technology enables the extraction of gemstone minerals so they can be made bioavailable to the skin. The stones go through a grinding process to create a powder, which then goes through a unique extraction process to extract the trace minerals the stones contain. These minerals are then stabilised to remain soluble in water, which forms the extracts we then include in our formulations...

Amethyst: The Stone of Serenity and Strength
Amethyst has been cherished for centuries as a gem of protection, balance, and spiritual clarity. With its deep purple hues ranging from soft lavender to royal violet, this gemstone has a calming presence that has made it a favorite in both jewelry and holistic practices. Today, it continues to inspire beauty and wellness rituals, including mindful approaches to skincare and self-care.
A Jewel Steeped in History
Amethyst has roots in ancient civilizations. The name comes from the Greek word amethystos, meaning “not intoxicated.” The Greeks believed it protected against drunkenness and wore it as amulets during feasts. In medieval Europe, amethyst was associated with nobility and often adorned crowns, rosaries, and religious ornaments.
Throughout history, it has been seen as a stone of clarity and purification, used to calm the mind and protect from negative energies.
