A restorative facial moisturizer that blends adaptogens, vegan collagen, and Shea Butter to deeply hydrate and protect the skin barrier.
This moisturizer features a robust foundation of hydration and barrier support through Glycerin, Shea Butter, Safflower Oil, and Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride. It goes beyond basic moisturizing by including a sophisticated blend of antioxidants and actives, such as Kakadu Plum (a potent source of Vitamin C), Maritime Pine Bark (Pycnogenol), and Ashwagandha (an adaptogen for soothing). The inclusion of Tripeptide-29 (Vegan Collagen) adds potential anti-aging benefits, while White Mulberry contributes to brightening. The texture is likely elegant and non-greasy due to Coco-Caprylate.
The formula is free from controversial ingredients such as parabens, phthalates, sulfates, PEGs, and silicones. It avoids synthetic fragrances, relying instead on botanical extracts which generally pose lower risks, though individuals with specific plant allergies should patch test. The preservative system (1,2-Hexanediol and Caprylhydroxamic Acid) is modern and generally well-tolerated. Safflower Oil is typically non-comedogenic, balancing the richness of the Shea Butter.
This is an excellent, well-rounded formulation that successfully bridges the gap between a gentle daily moisturizer and a targeted treatment product. It offers comprehensive benefits—hydration, soothing, brightening, and antioxidant protection—without relying on harsh chemicals. It is suitable for a wide range of skin types, particularly those looking for ‘clean beauty’ standards with proven efficacy.
This product is a sophisticated blend of nourishing emollients and powerful bio-active extracts designed to tackle signs of aging and environmental stress. The foundation of the formula relies on Glycerin and Shea Butter, which provide immediate and lasting hydration. Shea Butter is particularly effective for locking in moisture and repairing the skin barrier, making this cream substantial enough for drier skin types. The addition of Safflower Seed Oil and Coco-Caprylate ensures that while the product is rich, it maintains a texture that absorbs well without feeling greasy.
The standout feature of this moisturizer is its focus on adaptogenic and antioxidant protection. Ashwagandha Root Extract is included to help the skin cope with external stressors, effectively reducing the impact of daily fatigue on the complexion. This is paired with Tripeptide-29, a form of vegan collagen, which works to improve skin elasticity and firmness over time. For radiance, the formula incorporates Kakadu Plum, one of the richest natural sources of Vitamin C, alongside White Mulberry Leaf, helping to brighten the skin and even out tone.
Furthermore, the inclusion of Turmeric, Holy Basil, and Chinaberry adds a layer of anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial benefits, soothing the skin while offering protection against free radicals. The texture is stabilized with Sunflower Seed Wax, avoiding heavy synthetic waxes, which contributes to a luxurious skin feel. While the formula is dense with beneficial ingredients, the complex blend of botanicals means it provides a comprehensive approach to skin health, targeting hydration, brightness, and elasticity simultaneously. It is a well-rounded choice for those seeking a plant-forward solution to aging and dryness.
