Our Ingredients.

We believe you should know exactly what goes on your skin — and why.

Hyaluronic Acid

Hydration

Sodium Hyaluronate

A powerful humectant that holds up to 1,000 times its weight in water. Our multi-weight formula uses three molecular sizes to hydrate at every level of the epidermis — from surface moisture-locking to deep plumping.

  • · Holds 1,000x its weight in water
  • · Multi-weight formula penetrates multiple skin layers
  • · Plumps fine lines caused by dehydration
  • · Suitable for all skin types, including oily

Niacinamide

Brightening

Nicotinamide (Vitamin B3)

One of the most versatile and well-researched actives in skincare. Niacinamide regulates sebum production, minimises enlarged pores, strengthens the skin barrier, and visibly evens skin tone — all without irritation.

  • · Regulates sebum production
  • · Minimises the appearance of pores
  • · Strengthens the skin barrier
  • · Fades hyperpigmentation and evens tone

Bakuchiol

Anti-Aging

Psoralea corylifolia (Babchi seed extract)

A plant-derived compound clinically shown to deliver retinol-like results — reduced fine lines, improved firmness, more even tone — without the irritation, peeling, or photosensitivity that makes retinol difficult for many skin types.

  • · Plant-based retinol alternative
  • · Reduces fine lines and wrinkles
  • · Improves skin firmness and elasticity
  • · No irritation or sun sensitivity

Squalane

Hydration

Hydrogenated olive-derived Squalene

Derived from olives, Squalane is bioidentical to the squalene naturally produced by human skin. It provides deep, non-greasy hydration by mimicking the skin's own lipids, reinforcing the moisture barrier without clogging pores.

  • · Mimics the skin's natural oils
  • · Non-comedogenic deep hydration
  • · Reinforces the moisture barrier
  • · Suitable for all skin types, including oily and acne-prone

Vitamin C

Brightening

Ascorbyl Glucoside (stabilised L-Ascorbic Acid)

A potent antioxidant that brightens skin, evens tone, and protects against environmental damage. We use Ascorbyl Glucoside — a stable derivative that converts to pure Ascorbic Acid on the skin, avoiding the oxidation issues of traditional Vitamin C serums.

  • · Brightens dull, uneven skin tone
  • · Protects against UV-induced free radical damage
  • · Stimulates collagen synthesis
  • · Stable formula — no refrigeration required

Centella Asiatica

Soothing

Centella Asiatica Extract (Cica)

Also known as Cica, this ancient medicinal plant contains four active compounds — Madecassoside, Asiaticoside, Asiatic Acid, and Madecassic Acid — that calm inflammation, accelerate wound healing, and strengthen the skin barrier.

  • · Calms inflammation and redness
  • · Accelerates the skin's natural repair process
  • · Strengthens the skin barrier
  • · Suitable for rosacea-prone and reactive skin

Azelaic Acid

Brightening

Azelaic Acid (grain-derived dicarboxylic acid)

A gentle yet effective acid that targets hyperpigmentation, reduces redness, and refines skin texture. Naturally derived from grains, Azelaic Acid is gentle enough for rosacea-prone and sensitive skin — one of the few actives dermatologists recommend for both acne and rosacea.

  • · Fades hyperpigmentation and dark spots
  • · Reduces redness and inflammation
  • · Refines skin texture and unclogs pores
  • · Gentle enough for rosacea-prone skin

Ceramides

Hydration

Ceramide NP, Ceramide AP, Ceramide EOP

Lipid molecules that make up over 50% of the skin barrier. Our triple ceramide complex uses a 3:1:1 ratio of Ceramides, Cholesterol, and Fatty Acids — the same ratio found in healthy skin — to restore and maintain barrier integrity.

  • · Restores and reinforces the skin barrier
  • · Prevents transepidermal water loss
  • · Reduces sensitivity and irritation
  • · Supports long-term skin health

Sourced with care.

Every ingredient is traceable to its source. We work directly with suppliers and audit annually for ethical practices, fair wages, and environmental responsibility.

We do not use palm oil derivatives. We avoid ingredients from over-harvested or threatened species. Where synthetic alternatives perform as well as natural extracts and reduce environmental impact, we choose synthetic.

Good skincare should not come at the cost of the ecosystems it draws from.
