In the crowded world of skincare, finding products that are both effective and rooted in natural ingredients can be a challenge. Testament, a skincare brand founded by Sophia Chabbott in July 2021, aims to bridge this gap by offering products inspired by Mediterranean ingredients and traditions. One of their standout products is the Moroccan Chamomile Sleeping Mask, designed to hydrate, nourish, and rejuvenate your skin while you sleep.
Chabbott's vision for Testament was born from a desire to create a warmer approach to beauty, drawing inspiration from her Syrian, Turkish, and Spanish heritage. She wanted to capture the essence of a Mediterranean lifestyle-fresh fruits and veggies, shared meals, and natural ingredients-and translate it into skincare.
“The idea would not let go of me,” she tells Bustle. “There’s a cornucopia - pun intended, I suppose - of ingredients that are accessible and can provide your skin with so many benefits, antioxidants, and vitamins.” Basically, what Chabbott wanted to create with Testament was “a Mediterranean diet for your face.”
Key Ingredients and Benefits
The Moroccan Chamomile Sleeping Mask boasts an antioxidant-rich blend of nine Mediterranean-derived botanicals. Key ingredients include:
- Blue Tansy (Moroccan Chamomile): Helps heal and regenerate skin.
- Niacinamide: Loaded with essential vitamin B3, it helps fight inflammation to illuminate and firm the skin.
- Refreshing Peppermint and Oregano: To soothe and moisturize.
These ingredients work together to provide a luxurious nighttime moisturizing treatment that results in softer, plumper, and more radiant skin.

The Testament Philosophy
Testament's approach to skincare is rooted in sustainability and thoughtful formulation. All of the brand’s concoctions come in recyclable painted glass bottles, topped with reforested and biodegradable beechwood lids. The designs on the tops of the boxes that house the jars, specifically the reflective copper detailing, are nods to her great-grandmother’s Turkish coffee pot, which Chabbott still has today.
The slow rollout has been intentional, Chabbott notes. Her goal has not been to necessarily create a slew of items that dominate your morning and nighttime routines, but instead to introduce thoughtful offerings that feel special and impactful. “I want every single product to be the product that you can’t live without,” says Chabbott.
User Experience and Results
Users of the Moroccan Chamomile Sleeping Mask have reported positive results, particularly in terms of hydration and skin softness. For those using retinoids, like tretinoin, this mask can be a saving grace, providing much-needed relief from dryness and irritation. The mask's rich yet airy texture makes it suitable for daily use, leaving skin feeling supple and smelling like a fresh bouquet of flowers.
Here's a summary of the key benefits and features:
| Feature | Benefit |
|---|---|
| Mediterranean Antioxidant Infusion | Soothes and moisturizes with peppermint, oregano, and lavender |
| Blue Tansy | Helps heal and regenerate skin |
| Niacinamide | Illuminates and firms the skin by fighting inflammation |
| Sustainable Packaging | Recyclable glass bottles with biodegradable lids |

In developing Testament’s formulas, Chabbott wanted to lean into that idea of using what’s within reach.
