Prompt

Design a premium skincare ecommerce homepage with an editorial hero, muted neutral surfaces, literary section titles, sensory product metadata, and calm shoppable modules. Blend commerce with cultural navigation and keep the page sparse, precise, and high-trust.

Reframe the same ecommerce homepage for a broader wellness brand. Preserve the literary pacing, but make category navigation and best-seller shelves slightly more visible in the first screen.
