Key Ingredients

Niacinamide

A form of vitamin B3, this ingredient increases skin firmness and boosts collagen production. Additionally, niacinamide strengthens the skin barrier and protects from UV and blue light.

Squalane

Derived from olive oil, squalane mimics your skin’s natural oils, making it an excellent emollient. It is also a natural antioxidant that defends against carcinogens.

Hyaluronic Acid

A super ingredient for retaining moisture, which helps prevent dry and flaking skin. hyaluronic acid is known for improving elasticity, supplying you with supple and resilient skin. 

Jojoba oil

This deeply moisturizing oil is non-greasy and full of fatty acids. Its structure is very similar to the skin’s natural sebum, which means it absorbs quickly and works well for oily skin types.

Peptides

Peptides are protein building blocks. Together with tripeptides, they regulate your skin’s collagen and hyaluronic production, resulting in a visibly firmer and smoother appearance.

Frequently asked questions

  • Yes, it is safe to use on eye area.

  • Yes. However, it does not contain an SPF so you should always apply sunscreen over your skincare to protect skin when out in the sun.

  • We haven’t added an SPF to our moisturizer because sun protection needs to be reapplied every two hours. With typical use, you will apply our moisturizer in the morning and evening without reapplying. Therefore, adding an SPF to our formulation does not make sense. We believe applying sun protection over your skincare and topping up throughout the day is a better way to enjoy the sun.

  • Yes, but always check the ingredient list and warnings on your other products.

  • That depends on the condition of your skin. If your skin is excessively dry due to sun damage or cold temperatures, try adding an oil to your skincare routine or use a richer cream on dry spots.

  • → We only use a very small concentration of hypoallergenic fragrance to give this product a pleasant subtle smell. The maximum amount of fragrance added is between 0.10% and 0.25%, whereas similar skincare products can contain 1% perfume or more. Therefore, the chance of an allergic reaction is minimal.

    → Our fragrance does not contain allergens such as citronal, linalool and limonene.

    → Although the chance of irritation is minimized, no product can ever be considered allergy-proof. If you have a known (perfume) allergy, test this product on your arm fold first.

  • A hypoallergenic fragrance is known to have reduced allergy potential compared to regular fragrances. For this reason, hypoallergenic fragrance is preferable for those with sensitive or irritation-prone skin.
