SEA BUCKTHORN FACIAL OIL
The Sea Buckthorn Facial Oil is a dry-finish botanical oil led by Borage Seed Oil, an emollient plant oil rich in gamma-linolenic acid, an omega-6 essential fatty acid that supports the appearance of a replenished lipid barrier. Sea Buckthorn Fruit Extract adds flavonoid and carotenoid antioxidants, while a base of argan, avocado, and almond oils softens, smooths, and conditions dry, sensitive skin without heavy residue.

A RITUAL, CONSIDERED
Each formula stands on its own and belongs to the whole. Layered with intention, morning and night, the routine becomes unmistakably yours.
A twenty four hour rhythm
THE SKIN KEEPS TIME
Skin is not the same at midnight as it is at nine in the morning. Across a single day its temperature, its acidity and the moisture it loses to the air each move on a rhythm of their own. Morning and night are not two routines. They are one, kept in time.
