The Benefits

Nourishing

Nourishing skincare focuses on providing a deeply comforting, soothing, and softening experience with richer product formats. Ingredients like oils and ceramides nourish your skin barrier, replenishing essential lipids and hydration to boost resilience and suppleness. These formulas leave your skin feeling nurtured and instantly improve rough texture. Well-nourished skin is less prone to dryness, dehydration, and sensitivity, giving you a more radiant and healthy appearance.

Anti-Pigmentation

Dealing with pigmentation means targeting melanin overproduction to reduce dark spots and prevent new ones. Melanin production can be triggered by UV exposure, pollution, hormonal changes (like during pregnancy), and inflammation (from acne or cuts). This excess pigment is then transferred to surrounding cells in epidermis called keratinocytes, which then moves to the skin's surface, causing visible dark spots.

To treat hyperpigmentation, a personalised and consistent approach is needed. Our anti-pigmentation products include lightening agents to block tyrosinase (the enzyme that creates melanin), antioxidants to fight free radicals, and ingredients to speed up skin cell turnover, removing pigmented cells. Using broad-spectrum sun protection is crucial to prevent new pigmentation during treatment.

Plumping

Skin plumping involves using active ingredients to boost the production of key structural components like collagen, the dermal-epidermal junction, and glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), giving your skin more volume and density. Collagen provides structural support and firmness, while the dermal-epidermal junction, a thin connective layer, ensures smooth, wrinkle-free skin by facilitating cell communication. GAGs, like hyaluronic acid, keep your skin hydrated and plump from within. By stimulating these components, active ingredients help restore your skin's plumpness and radiance.

Pore Tightening & Minimising

Pore minimising involves reducing the appearance of enlarged pores. Enlarged pores often result from excess oil production and accumulated impurities, which stretch them over time. ageing also plays a role, as reduced skin elasticity makes pores more visible. Pore-minimising formulas tackle these issues by regulating oil production and boosting collagen and elastin to enhance skin elasticity. This helps pores return to their natural, less noticeable shape, giving your skin a smoother, more refined look.

Photo-Protecting

Photo-protective products offer strong protection against harmful UV radiation. They create a defensive barrier on your skin, preventing sunburn, premature ageing, and DNA damage from sun exposure. These products help reduce the risk of photoageing, including fine lines, wrinkles, and dark spots, while also supporting your skin’s natural repair processes to minimize the impact of any existing sun damage.

Anti-Inflammatory

Anti-Inflammatory skincare soothes, heal, and balance your skin, the targeted actives are designed to reduce inflammation. Inflammation is your body's natural response to injury or irritation, but continuous inflammation can lead to troublesome skin conditions like acne, rosacea, or eczema. Our anti-inflammatory skincare solutions work to soothe and calm your skin, reducing redness, swelling, and discomfort to provide much-needed relief. By strengthening your skin's barrier, these products help protect against further irritation and damage. Additionally, the anti-inflammatory actives support your skin's natural healing processes, leading to a more balanced and resilient complexion.

Active Ingredients

Golden Seaweed Extract

Golden Seaweed naturally lives in highly stressful environments which contributes to its resilience and powerful cell DNA protecting properties. This multi-benefit ingredient soothes the skin by reducing inflammation while simultaneously increasing natural Hyaluronic Acid production and improving barrier function. Skin is left calm, hydrated and protected.

Rice Bran Oil

Rice Bran Oil contains high concentrations of Phytosterols and Fatty Acids (Omegas 3&6), which can aid in the skin anti-ageing process by combatting free radicals. It also contains high levels of Vitamin E, Phytosterols and Ferulic Acid which also offer a very strong antioxidant action. Lastly, it is an extremely thin oil which is also deeply nourishing, providing suppleness and softness to the skin.

Anti-Glycation Complex

The Anti-Glycation Complex features Carnosine, a peptide with potent anti-glycation properties. Glycation is a crystallisation of collagen and elastin fibres, making them rigid and unable to operate, resulting in the skin's premature ageing. The action of carnosine is supercharged by two antioxidants: Sylimarine and Vitamin E, protecting the skin from free radicals and preventing premature cellular skin ageing.

Karanja Oil

Karanja Oil has strong nourishing, photo-protective and antioxidant properties, helping to shield the skin cells from harmful free radicals induced by UV and other environmental factors. Additionally, it helps to prevent lipid oxidation which can manifest in brownish/yellowish pigment on the skin. Its nourishing action ensures the skin barrier is healthy and resilient against external stressors as well as keeping hydration locked in.

Pink Coralline Extract

Pink Coralline Extract has the unique ability to protect the skin from heat-emitted infrared radiation, which is known to stimulate the MMP enzyme. This enzyme can degrade collagen overtime, resulting in a lesser plumped and toned skin. Pink Coraline Extract helps to preserve the skin's tightness.

Titanium Dioxide & Zinc Oxide

Titanium Dioxide & Zinc Oxide are physical (mineral) sunscreen filters. They protect the skin against UVA (Ageing) and UVB (Burning) rays from the sun. They have high photo-stability, are FDA approved and non-irritating, making them preferred choices for sensitive skins and for post-aesthetic treatments. They work by creating a protective shield on the skin that reflects UV rays, directing the rays away from the skin.

Butterfly Tree Flowers Extract

Butterfly Tree Flowers Extract has strong photo-protective properties, shielding the skin against UV rays, Blue Light and Infrared radiation. This ingredients help to protect the skin whilst reducing inflammation and limiting hyperpigmentation production.

    The texture and coverage are perfect for my skin. I have very sensitive and acne prone skin, and it was very hard to find an spf that provides a good coverage without causing pore congestion.
