A plant-derived compound from the seeds of Psoralea corylifolia that acts on skin through pathways comparable to retinol — supporting firmness, tone and an even surface — but without the dryness, flaking or sun-sensitivity that retinoids are known for. It is photostable, which is why it can be used where conventional retinol cannot.
Present in: Lunaris
A water-stable derivative of Vitamin C bound to glucose. Skin enzymes release it gradually into pure L-ascorbic acid, delivering the antioxidant and brightening benefits of Vitamin C while sidestepping the rapid oxidation and instability of the raw form. Steadier, gentler, and far less prone to going off in the bottle.
Present in: Elixir
Short sequences of amino acids that act as messengers on the skin surface, cueing processes tied to firmness and resilience. In the eye area — where skin is thinnest and shows fatigue first — they are used to support structure and a smoother, more rested contour over time.
Present in: Halo
A Nordic berry rich in Vitamin C and ellagic acid, used as a botanical antioxidant layer. It complements the primary Vitamin C system, helping defend against the daily oxidative load of UV and pollution.
Present in: Elixir
A ceramide identical to one skin produces on its own. Ceramides are the mortar between skin cells — the lipid matrix that holds water in and keeps irritants out. Replenishing them restores a barrier that has been compromised by over-cleansing, weather or active use, which is the quiet foundation under everything else working.
Present in: Forge
A fatty-acid-rich plant butter that softens and smooths the surface while providing a light occlusive layer to slow water loss. It gives a moisturiser its cushion without the heaviness or pore-load of heavier mineral occlusives.
Present in: Forge
Hyaluronic acid blended across several molecular weights so it hydrates at more than one level at once. Higher weights hold water at the surface for immediate plumpness; lower weights settle deeper into the upper layers for hydration that holds rather than evaporating off.
A mild, non-ionic cleansing agent made from coconut fatty acids and fruit sugars. It lifts oil, residue and grime without the tightness of harsh sulphates, leaving the acid mantle intact — the difference between skin that feels clean and skin that feels stripped.
Present in: Ember
A flaxseed-derived extract high in omega fatty acids, used to soothe and condition during cleansing. It keeps the botanical foaming base comfortable on reactive or dehydrated skin.
Present in: Ember
A broad-spectrum physical sunscreen filter that sits on the surface and reflects UV across both UVA and UVB. Well tolerated by sensitive and reactive skin, it is the protective anchor of the forthcoming tinted SPF.
Present in: Sol
The smallest alpha-hydroxy acid, which is what lets it work efficiently at the surface — loosening the bonds between spent cells to reveal smoother, more even skin underneath. Used a few nights a week rather than daily, it sharpens the results of everything layered after it.
