Actives

Treatments

Peptides (Matrixyl® 3000, Argireline®)

Short chains of amino acids that signal the skin to support its own collagen. Gentle enough for sensitive skin. Find them in Peptide Lift Serum and Halo Eye Cream.

Niacinamide (vitamin B3)

Strengthens the barrier, refines the look of pores and evens tone. Works well at 5–10%. Find it in Clarity 10% Niacinamide Serum and Bio-Silk Body Serum.

Vitamin C (ethyl ascorbic acid)

An antioxidant that brightens dullness and fades dark marks. Our stable form doesn’t oxidise orange. Find it in Lumen C Brightening Serum.

Retinal (retinaldehyde)

Vitamin A one step from retinoic acid — faster than retinol, with less irritation when encapsulated. Night use only; not for pregnancy. Find it in Retinal Night Drops.

Zinc PCA

Helps regulate oil and keeps blemish-prone skin calm. Find it in Clarity 10% Niacinamide Serum.

Hydration

Barrier & moisture

Ceramides (NP, AP, EOP)

Skin-identical lipids that hold the barrier together. Best in a 3:1:1 ratio with cholesterol and fatty acids. Find them in Barrier Ceramide Cream and Ceramide Hand Cream.

Hyaluronic acid

Binds water to plump fine lines instantly. We use several molecular weights for surface and deeper hydration. Find it in Dew Water Gel and Second Skin Tint.

Squalane

A lightweight, non-comedogenic oil identical to one your skin makes naturally. Find it in Melt Cleansing Balm and Retinal Night Drops.

Panthenol (pro-vitamin B5)

Soothes, hydrates and helps the skin recover. Find it in Cloud Gel Cleanser and Overnight Recovery Mask.

Centella asiatica

A calming botanical that reduces visible redness. Find it in Overnight Recovery Mask.

Exfoliants

Resurfacing

PHA (gluconolactone)

The gentlest acid exfoliant — large molecules work on the surface only. Find it in Enzyme Glow Mask.

Fruit enzymes (papain)

Digest dull surface cells without scrubbing. Find them in Enzyme Glow Mask.

Lactic acid

A hydrating AHA that smooths rough, bumpy skin on the body. Find it in Bio-Silk Body Serum.

Protection

Sun & antioxidants

Broad-spectrum UV filters

Modern, photostable filters for very high UVA and UVB protection with no white cast. Find them in Invisible Veil SPF 50.

Zinc oxide + iron oxides

Mineral UV protection plus pigments that shield against visible light. Find them in Tinted Shield SPF 40.

Ferulic acid + vitamin E

Antioxidants that stabilise vitamin C and boost protection under SPF. Find them in Lumen C Brightening Serum.
