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.
