Meet the botanicals

Grapeseed Oil
Featherlight and silky with linoleic acid and proanthocyanidins. Helps refine texture and support a clearer, more even look.

Jojoba Oil
A liquid wax rich in skin-mimicking esters. Balances the feel of oiliness, softens fine texture, and enhances elasticity.

Squalane
A velvet-soft lipid that mirrors skin’s own moisture barrier. Boosts slip, locks in hydration, and layers beautifully under makeup.

Argan Oil
Cushiony and comforting with oleic and linoleic acids plus natural tocopherols. Leaves skin supple and luminous.

Pumpkin Seed Oil
Nutrient-forward with tocopherols and phytosterols. Nourishes without heaviness and supports a resilient barrier.

Chia Seed Oil
Exceptionally rich in alpha-linolenic omega-3. Helps calm visible redness and restores a dewy, plush finish.

Rosehip Oil (refined)
Light in colour and scent, high in linoleic and alpha-linolenic acids. Encourages a smoother, more even appearance.

Seabuckthorn Extract
A vibrant source of carotenoids and omega-7. Revives dull tone and comforts dry, stressed areas.

Calendula CO2
Concentrated triterpenoids for a soothed, settled complexion. Ideal when skin feels reactive.

Green Tea Extract
Polyphenols and catechins deliver daily antioxidant defense. Helps minimise the look of environmental stress.

Aloe Vera (oil-soluble)
Phytosterols cushion dryness and reduce the feeling of tightness. Skin feels calm, soft, and comfortable.

Vitamin E (Tocopherol)
Classic antioxidant support that also helps stabilise delicate oils in the blend.

Cucumber Extract
Light and refreshing with trace antioxidants and phytosterols. Adds a cooled, rested look.

Carrot Seed Oil
A subtly aromatic seed oil noted for antioxidant activity. Supports balance on mature or fatigued skin.

Pomegranate Oil
Rich in punicic acid omega-5. Promotes bounce and tone while reinforcing the barrier.

Immortelle (Helichrysum)
A Mediterranean icon with antioxidant properties. Helps soften the look of stress and encourages an even, relaxed complexion.

Our lipid map

  • Linoleic acid omega-6: Grapeseed, Pumpkin, Argan, Rosehip

  • Alpha-linolenic omega-3: Chia, Rosehip

  • Oleic acid omega-9: Argan, Pumpkin

  • Palmitoleic acid omega-7: Seabuckthorn extract

  • Punicic acid omega-5: Pomegranate

  • Wax esters: Jojoba

  • Squalane: Squalane

These lipids are fundamental to skin comfort. Linoleic and alpha-linolenic keep the stratum corneum flexible. Oleic lends cushion. Omega-7 and omega-5 increase suppleness. Jojoba’s wax esters and squalane enhance glide and absorbency so the finish is elegant, not greasy.

What you can expect

  • A stronger barrier with essential fatty acids and squalane that reduce moisture loss

  • Daily antioxidant care from green tea, grape, carrot, immortelle, and vitamin E

  • A calmer look with calendula, chia, cucumber, and aloe

  • A refined finish that wears beautifully under SPF and makeup

How to use

Press 3 to 5 drops into damp skin after water-based steps, morning and evening. Layer under SPF during the day. Blend one drop into foundation for a seamless glow.
