Five Botanical Heroes — Centuries of Tradition, Validated by Modern Science
1. Rosehip Oil (Cold-Pressed)
Scar-Healing • Cell-Renewal • Natural Retinoid Source
Cold-pressed from the seeds of wild rose bushes — one of the most concentrated natural sources of Vitamin A (in the gentle pro-retinoid form), Vitamin C and essential fatty acids. Accelerates cell turnover gently, fades scars and post-acne marks, and supports the skin's natural healing — without any of the irritation associated with synthetic retinoids.
2. Squalane (Plant-Derived)
Skin-Identical Lipid • Non-Greasy Hydration • Anti-Ageing
A lipid your skin naturally produces — but production drops sharply after age 25. Plant-derived squalane mimics your skin's own oil exactly, replenishing what time has taken away while locking moisture into the deeper layers. Lightweight enough that even combination skin can wear it overnight without waking up oily.
3. Evening Primrose Oil
Damage-Repair • Anti-Inflammatory • Barrier-Supporting
Rich in gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) — an essential fatty acid that reduces inflammation, supports the skin barrier and accelerates the repair of accumulated daily damage. Used in traditional medicine for centuries; now validated by modern dermatology as one of the gentlest, most effective barrier-repair ingredients.
4. Snow Lotus
Sebum-Regulating • Anti-Inflammatory • Calming
A rare alpine flower used in traditional Tibetan and Chinese medicine for over a thousand years. In overnight skincare, it regulates excess sebum production so combination and oily-prone skin can use an oil-based elixir comfortably, while its natural anti-inflammatory properties calm the skin during overnight repair.
5. Goji Berries
Antioxidant • Brightening • Dullness-Fighting
One of the most antioxidant-rich fruits on earth, used in traditional Chinese medicine for 2,000+ years. Overnight, goji works to neutralise the free radicals that accumulated during the day from pollution, UV and stress, and supports the skin's natural brightening processes over weeks of consistent use.
