AS LONGTIME ADMIRERS AND PROUD STOCKISTS OF TRONQUE, WE AT FENN HAVE ALWAYS SHARED A DEEP APPRECIATION FOR THE BRAND’S THOUGHTFUL APPROACH TO BODY CARE. FOUNDED BY TANNE SNOWDEN, TRONQUE HAS REDEFINED WHAT IT MEANS TO CARE FOR THE SKIN BELOW THE NECK—OFFERING RESULTS-DRIVEN FORMULATIONS THAT ARE AS LUXURIOUS AS THEY ARE EFFECTIVE. WITH A STRONG AND ONGOING RELATIONSHIP ROOTED IN ALIGNED VALUES AND A SHARED BELIEF IN HOLISTIC SKIN HEALTH, WE’RE THRILLED TO SIT DOWN WITH TANNE AHEAD OF THE EXCITING LAUNCH OF HER NEWEST PRODUCT.
Clean beauty is a core pillar of Tronque. What’s your philosophy when it comes to ingredient sourcing and sustainability?
Clean beauty isn’t just a trend at Tronque—it’s a core pillar of our brand and deeply personal to me. After experiencing firsthand how conventional skincare ingredients can affect hormonal health and overall wellbeing, I knew that every product we created had to be as safe, effective, and transparent as possible.
Our philosophy begins with a strict ingredient selection process.
We start with science—looking at clinical data and in-vitro testing to determine what truly works—and then ensure each ingredient is non-toxic, minimally processed, and safe for the skin and body. If there’s any doubt about an ingredient’s safety, it doesn’t make it into our formulas. We lean on respected tools like the EWG Skin Deep Database to guide our safety benchmarks, but we often go even further.
At Tronque, we believe clean beauty should also be conscious beauty—so sustainability plays a central role in every step of our formulation and packaging. We choose organic, plant-based ingredients, many native to New Zealand, and source them ethically to support regenerative farming where possible.
Our packaging is designed to be reusable, recyclable, or refillable—with a focus on reducing plastic and embracing materials like glass and FSC-certified paper. We're not perfect, but we're committed to constant innovation and improvement to minimise our environmental footprint.
Ultimately, clean beauty at Tronque is about honouring both our health and the
planet. We believe luxury body care can be both indulgent and responsible—without compromising on efficacy, experience, or ethics. It’s this balance that defines every product we create.
Many luxury skincare brands focus primarily on the face—why is it so important to extend that same level of care to the body?
Many luxury skincare brands focus almost exclusively on the face, but the truth is, our bodies deserve the same level of care and attention. The skin on our body makes up over 85-90% of our skin’s surface area and plays a crucial role in protection, detoxification, and overall health. Yet it’s often overlooked in daily routines.
Body skin experiences many of the same concerns as facial skin: dryness, loss of firmness, scarring, discolouration, and signs of ageing. It’s also exposed to
environmental stressors, UV damage, and hormone-related changes. Neglecting it means missing the opportunity to care for this vital organ in a meaningful, results-driven way.
High-quality, science-backed ingredients shouldn't stop at the jawline. Your body deserves clinically effective, non-toxic formulas that nourish, protect, and rejuvenate, just as your face does. From post-surgical scars to stretch marks, hormonal changes, or simple dryness, the body has unique needs that deserve targeted solutions.
Elevating body care to a luxury ritual helps shift the mindset from basic moisturisation to intentional, full-body skincare. It's not just about how you look—it's about how you feel in your skin, from head to toe. True luxury is taking care of your whole self.
Your formulations are known for being both luxurious and backed by science. How do you strike the balance between indulgence and efficacy?
At Tronque, striking the balance between indulgence and efficacy is at the heart of everything we do. From day one, it was important that our products not only felt beautiful to use, but delivered real, visible results backed by science. I didn’t want to compromise on either—and I don’t believe anyone should have to.
We start by sourcing the most potent, clinically researched ingredients from stable forms of Vitamin C and plant stem cells to bioactive botanicals and biotech actives. These ingredients are selected not just for their performance, but for their safety profile and ability to work in harmony with the body. Every formulation is built with intention, focusing on active concentrations that are proven to be effective—never just for label appeal.
At the same time, the sensory experience is deeply considered. The texture, scent, absorption, and packaging all play a role in making Tronque products feel like a true ritual. Skincare shouldn’t feel clinical or cold—it should feel like self-care. We’ve designed every product to be something you look forward to using, while knowing you’re also supporting your long-term skin and hormonal health.
That balance—between clean science and luxurious self-indulgence—is what makes Tronque different. We’re here to prove that you can have both: formulas that feel exquisite and perform at the highest standard, without compromising your well-being.
What inspired the creation of the Triple Active Body Milk? Was there a particular gap in the body care market you were looking to fill?
We are thrilled to introduce this revolutionary body milk that was truly envisioned to tackle common concerns while kissing your skin with a soft, cashmere feel - adhering to our guiding principles of providing consumers with safe and effective body care.
This groundbreaking 3-in-1 formula for total skin rejuvenation features a very unique featherlight, velvety lotion texture with a smooth, opalescent viscosity that glides onto the skin, offering immediate hydration and nourishment.
The clinically proven formula is meticulously crafted with high-performance
ingredients that work together to refine, lift, and tone the skin, while targeting the underlying causes of cellulite, sagging, and loss of elasticity.
It’s truly the combination of a 3-in-1 product that makes the Triple Active Body Milk so special and really does fill a gap in the global body care market.
The formula includes a powerful mix of actives like caffeine, hyaluronic acid, and collagen boosters. How did you decide on these key ingredients, and what makes this combination so effective?
The Triple Active Body Milk was three years in the making. As Tronque is a results-based brand, we start with research first, finding the newest most innovative ingredients targeted at lymphatic flow, cellulite, skin firming and collagen and elastin stimulation.
Through our years of research and development, we found the three core active ingredients we use in the Triple Active Body Milk truly were the most powerful combination for reducing fat accumulation, stimulating microcirculation and targeting skin sagging and loss of elasticity.
With the power of these innovative ingredients, Triple Active Body Milk effectively addresses multiple skin concerns simultaneously, offering a holistic approach to body
care. Whether you’re seeking to firm and tone skin, reduce the appearance of
cellulite, or deeply hydrate and nourish, this luxurious body milk provides the perfect solution.
Product Benefits Include:
• Firm, tone, and lift skin
• Provide deep, long-lasting hydration
• Smooth and nourish the skin
• Promote skin elasticity and strengthen the skins natural barrier
• Improve circulation and fluid drainage for a refined, sculpted appearance
The Triple Active Body Milk has been clinically proven to mimic lymphatic drainage. One of our powerful lipolytic agent active ingredients is composed of vegetable caffeine and green coffee extract, helping to reduce cellulite and enhance skin firmness. It also supports fluid drainage and improves the appearance of body contours for a smoother, more toned silhouette.
You describe the texture as “featherlight and opalescent.” How important was the sensory experience when formulating this product?
It was very important for us to create this product with a very different texture to our other products offered in the brand.
We wanted something that was “featherlight” to the touch, that resembled a lotion crossed with a milky hydrating serum.
Our Firming Butter is extremely hydrating and really sinks into the skin, leaving a glossy, glowing finish, while our Vitamin C Body Oil is a dry oil and absorbs deeply, although it’s still an oil texture.
The Triple Active Body Milk allows for a quick use and that ethereal feel on the skin, which works in tandem with the active ingredients to target lymphatic flow, silhouette refining and elastin boosting.
One of the silhouette refining ingredients is a potent blend of plant-derived Glaucine, caffeine, and xanthan gum that works synergistically to reduce fat accumulation, stimulate microcirculation, and firm skin. This anti-cellulite hero ingredient reduces puffiness and visibly slims areas prone to cellulite, such as the thighs, hips, and abdomen.
It makes sense that the texture and feel on the skin mimics this microcircluation hero.
Can you tell us more about the TRONQUE Self-Massage Draining Method? How does this enhance the benefits of the product?
For optimal results, TRONQUE recommends using the Triple Active Body Milk day and night. Apply the lotion using the TRONQUE Self-Massage Draining Method, which combines upward circular motions with gentle kneading to enhance fluid drainage, boost circulation, and break up fat deposits.
This 5-10 minute daily ritual maximises the firming effects of the product and promotes lymphatic drainage for a smoother, more contoured body.
Tronque’s self-massage drainage method is immersed in de-puffing, contouring and massaging.
Using both hands, glide the product onto your skin, beginning at the ankles and moving upward toward the hips and waist.
Next, apply firm but gentle pressure with both hands around the one ankle to start, gliding upward to the top of the thigh and waist, using pressing motions with your fingertips to encourage drainage and microcirculation.
Repeat this a couple of times on each leg.
At the top of the inner thigh, press and release this area a few times. Repeat a couple of times to encourage lymphatic flow.
Repeat this on each arm and décolletage, towards your heart.
You can also use our Body Contour Massager (body gua sha) instead of using your hands to encourage further lymphatic flow and fascia release.
Both techniques enhance the benefits of the product and help the absorption of the ingredients, encouraging lymphatic drainage, targeting cellulite and collagen and elastin production.
The fragrance sounds divine—how was it developed, and what emotions or experiences do you hope it evokes for users?
Tronque’s signature scent is a study in contrasts - an intoxicating garden that awakens under the day’s glow. Lush, citrus-kissed bergamot and Italian lemon lead the way, while the delicate allure of watermelon, marine accord and floral pink accord awaken in the application. Grounded by the depth and warmth of gaiac wood, it lingers on bare skin - uplifting, fleeting, and unforgettable.
We contracted one of the best olfactory 'nose' from France to create a unique scent for Tronque that is 100% natural.
Situated 12 miles north from Cannes in Southern France and offering rolling hills, perfect for growing beautifully scented plants. Grasse, France, population 51,000, is the high priestess of fragrance locations, most notably known as the fragrance 'capital' or 'birthplace'.
Fragrance first originated in Grasse in the 16th Century, where the town predominately sold leather goods, in particular through pungent-smelling goatskin. The sellers started taking all the beautiful scented thyme, lavender and rosemary to scent the leather. From there, Grasse became ambitious about its scent opportunities and the fragrance business was born.
There’s a biological pathway between scent and emotion. Sitting above our nasal cavity is our olfactory sense. When stimulated, its neurons send messages to the brain which controls behavioural and emotional responses.
What does body care mean to you on a personal level? Has your approach to it changed since launching Tronque?
Body care, to me, is a deeply personal ritual of self-respect, healing, and connection. It’s not just about skincare—it’s about honouring the body that carries me through life, especially after all it’s endured. It’s a moment to slow down, nourish my skin, and support my health in a conscious, loving way. After years of dealing with illness and recovery, body care became my way of reclaiming power and presence. It’s a daily reminder to care for myself holistically, from the outside in, with products that feel beautiful, perform powerfully, and align with my values. It’s self-care, elevated.
Tronque was born through my struggle with reproductive health. While recovering from my second endometriosis surgery in 2019, I learnt about endocrine disruptors in our skincare and how they can mimic hormones.
I investigated my daily skincare regime and was shocked to discover that these products from well-known global brands contained harmful ingredients proven to disrupt human hormonal systems. I then ditched my harmful beauty care to search for an alternative.
With a refusal to compromise on safety and efficacy it led me to instead develop Tronque body care as the skin of the body consists of 85% of your largest organ. Tronque is a safe haven for effective world-class formulations.
What’s next for Tronque? Do you see the brand expanding into new categories or product innovations in the near future?
Absolutely - Tronque is just getting started. We see enormous potential to expand across several key areas, all aligned with our mission to elevate body care through science, sustainability, and self-empowerment.
First, we’re deeply focused on building and nurturing our community. Our customers are engaged, curious, and values-driven, and we’re committed to offering more educational content, events, and platforms where they can connect, learn, and feel supported, particularly around topics like hormone health, body confidence, and conscious beauty.
In terms of product innovation, we’re working on several exciting launches that push the boundaries of traditional body care. Using advanced delivery systems and powerful bioactive ingredients, these upcoming products will continue to deliver luxury-grade results, without compromising on safety or sustainability.
We’re also expanding retail partnerships across the U.S. and Europe, bringing Tronque to more conscious consumers who are seeking high-performance, hormone-safe alternatives. Our goal is to be the leader in clean body care globally, and our traction with premium retailers shows that we’re on the right path.
Beyond that, we’re exploring opportunities in refill systems, spa and wellness collaborations, and eventually branching into adjacent wellness categories, all with the same integrity, elegance, and innovation that defines Tronque. The future is full-body, and we’re here to lead it.
