PLACEHOLDER
Niacinamide
Niacinamide is a form of vitamin B3 that helps support the skin's natural moisture barrier by promoting healthy ceramide levels. It also provides antioxidant benefits and helps keep skin looking calm, hydrated, and healthy.
PLACEHOLDER
Moringa
Moringa has been valued for generations for helping to keep skin soft, comfortable, and hydrated. Modern scientific research supports its ability to moisturize skin while providing a rich source of naturally occurring antioxidants.
We use a proprietary extraction process designed to preserve many of moringa's beneficial compounds that can be lost through conventional extraction methods.
PLACEHOLDER
Plant Ceramides
Our formula contains a carefully selected blend of plant-derived ceramides, phospholipids, phytosterols, and essential fatty acids that help support the skin's natural moisture barrier. These skin-compatible lipids help leave skin feeling soft, smooth, and comfortable.
Instead of relying on heavy petroleum-derived ingredients, we chose plant-based lipids that work with your skin to deliver lightweight, lasting hydration.
PLACEHOLDER
Squalane
Squalane is an oil that is similar to squalene, a natural product of human oil glands (sebum). It helps lock in moisture, reduce moisture loss, and leaves skin feeling soft and smooth without a greasy residue. We use plant-derived squalane from renewable sugarcane as a lightweight alternative to petroleum-derived petrolatum.
PLACEHOLDER
B-silk™
B-silk™ is an innovative, biodegradable silk protein that provides a safe alternative to silicone ingredients, like dimethicone, commonly used in moisturizers.
B-silk™ forms a lightweight, breathable film that helps lock in moisture while leaving skin feeling soft, smooth, and never greasy. It works in harmony with our plant-derived oils and skin-conditioning lipids.
PLACEHOLDER
Jojoba Oil
Jojoba oil closely resembles the wax esters naturally found in human sebum, making it an exceptional moisturizer. It helps soften skin, lock in moisture, and leave dry skin feeling comfortable, nourished, and healthy-looking. It absorbs easily without leaving a greasy feel.
