Every ingredient earns its place. Here is why.
No filler, no fragrance, no mystery. What each one is, what it does for your skin, and where to find it.
Skin has simple needs. Meet them well.
Cleanse without stripping, hydrate in every layer, protect by day, repair by night. Twelve ingredients do most of that work. The rest support them.
Damask rose water
The water distilled from damask rose petals, the same variety used for rose oil. Mild, naturally soothing, and gentle enough for skin that reacts to almost everything.
What it does for you
Calms redness and that tight feeling after cleansing, lightly hydrates, and leaves skin cool and comfortable. It is the reason the tonic feels like relief rather than a sting.
Paired with witch hazel, alcohol-free
Hamamelis virginiana. An astringent from the bark and leaves of the witch hazel shrub. Our extract is distilled without alcohol, so it tightens the look of pores and clears what cleansing leaves behind without drying the skin out. White tea adds antioxidants that defend against everyday oxidation.
Found in
Hyaluronic acid, three weights
A sugar molecule your skin already makes, which can hold many times its weight in water. We use three molecular sizes: the large one sits on the surface, the medium reaches the upper layers, the small travels deeper.
What it does for you
Skin looks plumper and fine lines soften, because the water is being held where it is needed instead of sitting on top. Snow mushroom, a plant source of similar molecules, and panthenol (provitamin B5) extend the effect.
Paired with niacinamide, 5%
Vitamin B3. One of the most studied skincare ingredients there is. At 5% it helps even out tone, supports the skin barrier, and calms the look of blotchiness, without the irritation that stronger actives can bring.
Found in
Stable vitamin C, 15%
Most vitamin C breaks down in the bottle within weeks. This oil-soluble form stays stable, absorbs well, and does not sting. Ferulic acid, a plant antioxidant, protects it and roughly doubles its defensive power.
What it does for you
Helps fade dark spots and post-blemish marks over weeks, supports collagen, and shields skin from the daily oxidation that dulls it. Licorice root adds a second, gentler brightening path. This is the serum for a face that glows without highlighter.
Found in
Bakuchiol
A plant extract that behaves like retinol in the skin, encouraging cell turnover and collagen, but without retinol's peeling, redness, or sun sensitivity. Safe to use every night, and during pregnancy, where retinol is not.
What it does for you
Over a month, texture smooths, fine lines soften, and tone looks more even. You wake up to skin that looks rested, not irritated.
Paired with peptides and blue tansy
Peptides are short chains of amino acids that signal skin to support its own collagen. Blue tansy, Tanacetum annuum, owes its indigo color to chamazulene, a compound prized for calming the skin, which is why the night cream soothes as it works.
Found in
Rosehip, marula and sea buckthorn
Three cold-pressed oils, each chosen for a different job. Rosehip seed oil carries natural vitamin A and essential fatty acids. Marula, from the southern African marula fruit, is rich in oleic acid and antioxidants and absorbs unusually fast. Sea buckthorn brings the rare omega-7.
What it does for you
Seals in everything you applied before it, softens rough patches, supports the skin barrier, and helps the look of scars and uneven tone over time. It sinks in before you reach the pillow.
Found in
Ceramides and shea butter
Ceramides are the lipids that mortar your skin cells together; skin loses them with age, weather and over-cleansing. Shea butter, pressed from the nut of the West African shea tree, is a rich source of fatty acids and vitamins A and E.
What it does for you
Rebuilds the barrier so moisture stays in and irritants stay out. Skin feels cushioned, looks dewy, and holds up under makeup, sunscreen and a long day. Green tea and vitamin E add daytime antioxidant cover.
Found in
Camellia, jojoba and oat
Camellia seed oil has been used in Japan for centuries to cleanse skin and hair. Jojoba is technically a wax, close in structure to the skin's own sebum. Oat lipids are what make oatmeal baths soothing.
What it does for you
Oil dissolves oil: makeup, sunscreen and the day melt away without the foaming agents that strip skin. Add water and the balm turns to milk, rinses clean, and leaves the barrier intact. Chamomile calms on the way out.
Found in
Papaya and pumpkin enzymes
Fruit enzymes that break down the protein bonds holding dull, dead cells to the surface. No grit, no scrubbing, no micro-tears. Rice powder adds the softest trace of texture; honey extract keeps skin comfortable.
What it does for you
Brighter, smoother skin after one use, and better absorption of every serum that follows. Twice a week is enough.
Found in
Caffeine and cucumber
Caffeine applied to skin constricts small blood vessels and helps move fluid along, which is why it is the classic ingredient for the eye area. Cucumber extract cools and hydrates.
What it does for you
Morning puffiness settles within minutes. Shadows look lighter over weeks. Peptides and hyaluronic acid in the same formula soften the fine lines that show first around the eyes.
Found in
French pink clay
A blend of white and red clays from France, pink because of its iron content. The gentlest of the clays: it draws out congestion and excess oil without the tight, chalky finish of green or bentonite clays.
What it does for you
Pores look clearer and skin looks refined after ten minutes, while vitamin C and rosehip oil in the same mask make sure you rinse off to a glow, not a dry patch. Once a week.
Found in
Squalane
Your skin makes squalene as part of its own oil. Ours is the stable plant version, pressed from olives and fermented sugarcane, never from sharks. It is weightless, non-greasy, and suits every skin type including oily.
What it does for you
Softens, balances oil production, and helps other ingredients spread and absorb. It is the quiet ingredient in four of our formulas that makes the texture feel expensive.
Found in
Clean is the baseline, not the pitch.
Every formula is made by a licensed esthetician in small batches. If you have a known allergy, patch test behind the ear for 24 hours before first use.
