Ingredient Glossary
Botanical Recovery Serum
The richest source of natural omega-6 essential fatty acids. They're vital for the skin's barrier function, and maintaining moisture and hydration. Inflammatory skin conditions such as acne and eczema are exacerbated by their low level of omega-6s.
With a combined synergy of omega-3 and 6 essential fatty acids, it absorbs quickly and provides important nutrients for the skin’s epidermis. It effectively moisturizes skin and can help improve inflammatory skin conditions.
Rich in omega-3, this essential fatty acid is an important nutrient found in the skin’s outer layer. It moisturizes, slows aging skin, and is beneficial for reducing psoriasis lesions.
Its array of oil-soluble terpenes and flavonoids improves skin hydration, protects against photoaging, and reduces redness and irritations.
Extremely rich in a family of compounds known as astragalosides, they have a number of important biological effects on skin. They protect against photoaging and collagen degradation, inhibit the production of cytokines (pro-inflammatory proteins), and improve eczema symptoms.
With a robust concentration of oil-soluble alkamides, this class of compounds exhibits similar effects to CBD as it binds to CB2 receptors—having a direct effect on the endocannabinoid system. Similarly, it offers anti-inflammatory and antibacterial benefits to skin, and is especially helpful for eczema and acne-prone skin.
Rich in numerous terpenoid compounds which soothe inflammation and stimulate collagen and hyaluronic acid production in the skin.
Containing the unique flavonoid compound glabridin, it offers an effective and gentle way to treat age spots, discolouration, and uneven skin tone.
While unusual to see in skincare, it's effective for lowering excess sebum production in the skin. This makes it useful for reducing breakouts and oily skin.
One of its key active constituents, ar-turmerone, can help alleviate inflammation associated with psoriasis. Turmeric also enhances skin barrier function and exhibits anti-aging effects.
High in the compound rosmarinic acid, it’s a powerful antioxidant that not only soothes skin irritations but also keeps our formula fresh and long-lasting.
Derived from Hawaiian microalgae, it's one of the most potent antioxidants ever discovered. It’s used by algae as a defense mechanism against the sun’s harmful rays, and research shows that it also strongly protects our skin against UV damage as well as skin aging.
The bergamot oil we use is free from bergapten—a phototoxic compound commonly found in citrus oils. It has been shown that bergamot can exert anti-inflammatory activity.
Extracted from jasmine sambac flowers, it has been shown to have anti-fungal activity against Malassezia—a yeast that has been implicated in the severity of psoriasis, eczema, and other skin conditions.
Contains numerous soothing phytocompounds such as apigenin, bisabolol, luteolin, and azulenes. They all possess anti-inflammatory properties, and are beneficial for calming irritated skin.
Botanical Recovery Mask
A lightweight ester derived from milk thistle oil. It has been shown to increase filaggrin, a protein that’s low in eczema-prone skin and vital for the skin’s barrier function.
Rich in omega-3, this essential fatty acid is an important nutrient found in the skin’s outer layer. It moisturizes, slows aging skin, and is beneficial for reducing psoriasis lesions.
A natural wax obtained from the fruit peels of the Rhus Verniciflua tree, found in China. It moisturizes and adds richness to the formula.
Provides richness and a protective barrier for the skin, helping to hold in moisture and hydration.
A fat-soluble vitamin C ester that offers full stability within a product. It increases collagen production and targets hyperpigmentation.
With a similar structure to cholesterol—a major lipid of the skin’s outer layer, phytosterols strengthen the skin’s barrier function, lock in hydration, protect against collagen degradation, and even reduce acne breakouts by controlling sebum production.
Derived from the flowers of Osmanthus Fragrans, a small tree found in countries throughout Asia such as China, Japan, and Cambodia. It provides a lightweight barrier to lock in moisture, while adding its intoxicating aroma to the formula.
A phytocompound that has proven anti-aging effects comparable to retinoids, which helps to improve fine lines and wrinkles, and reduce acne breakouts.
High in magnolol and honokiol, two well-studied compounds that offer potent antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties. They combat redness, acne breakouts, and hyperpigmentation.
This proven anti-irritant offers important benefits for sensitive skin. It reduces pro-inflammatory cytokines (cell-signaling proteins), leading to improvements in eczema symptoms and redness.
Acts as an important precursor to ceramides which are vital for repairing a damaged skin barrier. It’s effective for keeping skin hydrated, killing acne-causing bacteria, and reducing fine lines and wrinkles.
An essential ceramide for maintaining a healthy skin barrier function and retaining skin hydration. It’s especially important for dry and aging skin.
As a tyrosinase inhibitor, it disrupts the overproduction of melanin, helping to treat age spots and even skin tone.
An innovative and safe ingredient for treating hyperpigmentation and stimulating glutathione—the body's master antioxidant.
The world’s only bio-identical human collagen which offers unmatched skin benefits compared to animal-derived collagen. It plumps skin and reduces wrinkles.
Elastin is a major structural protein of the skin, and is responsible for providing elasticity. This human biocompatible elastin provides skin firming benefits.
Contains anthocyanins, which are potent antioxidants that scavenge free radicals, improve inflammation, and provide anti-aging and skin-brightening benefits.
High in phycocyanin, an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory compound that reduces skin irritation, scavenges free radicals, and protects against photoaging.
A mixture of phospholipids found naturally in foods such as soybeans and sunflower seeds. It helps to stabilize our formula while improving the delivery of actives into the skin.
High in the compound rosmarinic acid, it’s a powerful antioxidant that not only soothes skin irritations but also keeps our formula fresh and long-lasting.
These ingredients are used to help stabilize some of the ingredients we use in our formula, such as purple sweet potato extract.
