A deeply nourishing moisturizer packed with fermented mushroom extracts, peptides, and a luxurious blend of plant oils designed to repair the barrier and combat signs of aging.
This is an exceptionally well-formulated moisturizer that combines proven emollients with advanced bio-actives. The base of Shea Butter, Jojoba Oil, and Squalane-rich plant oils provides immediate and lasting occlusion for dry skin. The formula excels in barrier repair and anti-aging through the inclusion of Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 (Argireline), Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate (stable Vitamin C), and Sphingolipids/Phospholipids (barrier components). Furthermore, the extensive list of Ferment Filtrates (Mushroom, Rice, Centella Asiatica) offers probiotic benefits to support the skin microbiome, while the Aquaxyl complex (Xylitylglucoside, Anhydroxylitol, Xylitol) ensures deep hydration dynamics alongside Sodium Hyaluronate.
The formulation is free from parabens, formaldehyde releasers, and drying alcohols. It uses Phenoxyethanol and Ethylhexylglycerin as a standard, reliable preservative system. However, the inclusion of Vetiver Root Oil (an essential oil) may pose a sensitization risk for hyper-reactive skin types. Additionally, the sheer number of botanical extracts increases the statistical probability of a specific allergic reaction for sensitive individuals. PEG-100 Stearate is included, which is generally safe but discouraged by some strict ‘clean beauty’ standards due to manufacturing processes. The high concentration of Shea Butter may be comedogenic for acne-prone skin.
This is a powerhouse moisturizer suited best for dry, mature, or compromised skin barriers. It bridges the gap between natural botanical care and clinical efficacy by combining nourishing oils with Peptides, Vitamins, and Ferments. While it offers immense value in terms of active ingredients, those with oily skin or known sensitivities to essential oils should patch test first. Overall, it is a highly effective, luxury-grade product.
This formulation represents a heavy-hitting approach to moisture retention and barrier repair, built upon a substantial base of Shea Butter. As the second ingredient, Shea Butter ensures this product will have a thick, creamy consistency that provides an immediate occlusive shield, locking in hydration for hours. This creates an ideal environment for dry, dehydrated, or mature skin types that struggle to produce enough of their own natural oils. The lipid profile is further boosted by a luxurious cocktail of plant oils, including Jojoba, Argan, Macadamia, Olive, and Marula Oil, mimicking the skin’s natural lipid barrier to improve elasticity and softness.
What truly sets this moisturizer apart, however, is its complex array of bio-fermented ingredients. The formula boasts a sophisticated blend of fermented mushrooms (Cordyceps, Reishi, Chaga, Shiitake) alongside Lactobacillus and Rice ferments. These ingredients break down nutrients into smaller molecules for better absorption while supporting the skin’s microbiome and reducing inflammation. This ferment complex is excellent for soothing stressed skin and strengthening the skin’s natural defenses against environmental aggressors.
On the anti-aging front, the inclusion of Acetyl Hexapeptide-8, often referred to as “Botox in a jar,” works to relax facial tension and smooth fine lines. This is complemented by Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate, a stable and oil-soluble form of Vitamin C that provides brightening and antioxidant protection without the irritation often associated with pure L-Ascorbic Acid. Additionally, the presence of Caffeine helps to depuff and energize the skin, making this a good option for morning use if the texture isn’t too heavy for your preference.
To ensure hydration penetrates deep within the layers, the formula utilizes a hydration complex involving Xylitylglucoside, Anhydroxylitol, and Xylitol alongside Sodium Hyaluronate. These humectants optimize water circulation within the skin. While the formula includes soothing agents like Bisabolol and Chamomile, users with reactive skin should note the presence of Vetiver Root Oil. While this essential oil provides an earthy, grounding aroma, it can be a potential allergen for those with hypersensitive skin. Furthermore, the richness of the oils and butters might be too occlusive for acne-prone individuals, potentially leading to congestion.
