Glowing Skin Face Oil
Face Oil

A dense, purely botanical lipid treatment. It relies entirely on a rich matrix of natural plant oils including Sweet Almond, Argan, Jojoba, and Rosehip to deeply nourish dry skin profiles. However, it contains a massive blend of highly fragrant essential oils like Lavender, Ylang-Ylang, and Patchouli, which introduces severe contact dermatitis risks for sensitive barriers.

Prebiotic Hydra Plus Micellar Water
Cleanser

A highly elegant, biomimetic first-step makeup remover. By utilizing exceptionally mild emulsifiers (PEG-6 Caprylic/Capric Glycerides and Olive Oil PEG-7 Esters) instead of harsh detergents, it grabs heavy cosmetic polymers and lifts them away without disturbing native cellular lipids. The massive hydration payload of Sodium PCA, Betaine, and Hyaluronic Acid ensures the skin surface feels incredibly soft and conditioned after wiping, making it an elite choice for extremely reactive barriers that cannot tolerate traditional oil balms.
