The hero. A clinically studied botanical active that gently relaxes facial muscle contractions to visibly reduce fine lines and wrinkles. Works similarly to injectables at a muscular level, without the needle, the neurotoxin, or the frozen expression. Supports collagen production and improves elasticity with consistent use.
Purified water. The base of the formula and the delivery medium for every active ingredient that follows.
A naturally derived humectant that draws moisture from the air into the skin and holds it there. Keeps skin hydrated, plump, and soft without a heavy residue.
A plant-derived alternative to synthetic glycols. Enhances the penetration of active ingredients into the skin while improving the serum's texture and feel. Clean, gentle, and biodegradable.
A skin-conditioning agent that improves moisture retention and enhances the delivery of other actives. Contributes to the serum's smooth, lightweight application.
Pressed from the seeds of a wildflower native to the Pacific Northwest. One of the most stable plant oils available, rich in long-chain fatty acids that closely mimic the skin's own lipid structure. Deeply moisturising, non-greasy, and excellent at locking in hydration.
A lightweight emollient rich in Omega-3, Omega-6, and Vitamin E. Softens and conditions the skin, supports the skin barrier, and helps reduce inflammation. Absorbs quickly without leaving residue.
A naturally derived clay mineral used to stabilise the formula and give the serum its smooth, even consistency. Ensures ingredients remain evenly suspended and effectively delivered.
A natural thickener derived through fermentation. Gives the serum its texture and helps active ingredients adhere to the skin surface for a longer contact time and better absorption.
A rare African botanical oil pressed from the fruit of the wild plum tree. Rich in very long-chain fatty acids with exceptional skin-softening and anti-inflammatory properties. Shown to improve skin elasticity and reduce the appearance of fine lines.
High in linoleic acid and Vitamin E. Lightweight, non-comedogenic, and deeply nourishing. Supports the skin barrier, reduces water loss, and helps maintain an even skin tone.
Cold-pressed from the kernels of the Moroccan argan tree. Rich in Vitamin E, squalene, and essential fatty acids. Intensely moisturising, antioxidant-rich, and well known for improving elasticity and radiance.
A gentle, plant-derived emulsifier that binds the water and oil elements of the formula together into a stable, smooth serum. Non-irritating and well-tolerated by sensitive skin.
A naturally occurring phospholipid found in plant cells. Deeply compatible with the skin's own lipid structure, it enhances active ingredient absorption and helps restore and reinforce the skin barrier.
A natural, fermentation-derived biopolymer that improves the texture and stability of the formula. Also acts as a skin-conditioning agent with light hydrating properties.
A naturally derived polysaccharide with an immediate film-forming effect on the skin. Creates a subtle tightening and lifting sensation on application, contributing to the visible smoothing effect alongside the Paracress.
Derived from the tara plant, a natural alternative to synthetic polymers. Conditions and smooths the skin surface while contributing to formula stability.
Derived from coconut oil. A lightweight, fast-absorbing emollient that improves the spreadability of the serum and leaves skin feeling soft and conditioned without greasiness.
A globally approved, low-concentration preservative that keeps the formula safe and stable. Used at levels well within international cosmetic safety standards.
A ceramide-like lipid that reinforces the skin's natural barrier function, reducing moisture loss and improving resilience against environmental stressors.
Plant-derived compounds structurally similar to cholesterol found naturally in the skin. Help restore and maintain the skin barrier, reduce inflammation, and support the skin's natural repair processes.
A naturally occurring fatty acid, used here in its plant-derived form as an emollient and emulsifier, contributing to the serum's smooth texture and skin-softening effect.
A plant-derived skin-conditioning agent that works alongside Phenoxyethanol to preserve the formula. Also improves skin feel and has mild antimicrobial properties.
One of the skin's own naturally occurring lipids, and one of the most important. Ceramides form a critical part of the skin barrier, preventing moisture loss and protecting against environmental damage. Supplementing them topically helps restore barrier integrity and improve hydration.
A naturally derived antioxidant from plant seeds. Helps neutralise free radical damage, brightens uneven skin tone, and gently chelates metal ions that can accelerate skin ageing.
