Sea Buckthorn Fruit Extract at INCI position 15 supplies a polyphenol and carotenoid botanical. EU CosIng lists Hippophae Rhamnoides Fruit Extract with a skin-conditioning function. This product uses the Fruit Extract, a hydrophilic preparation rich in flavonoids and carotenoids, not the Fruit Oil1. Sodium Hyaluronate is a glycosaminoglycan naturally present in skin that can hold up to 1,000 times its weight in water2. Cloudberry and Blueberry Fruit Extracts supply antioxidant polyphenols, and Ascorbyl Palmitate and Tocopherol add antioxidant support for the lipid phase. These are not a load-bearing brightening hero at this position. Clinical evidence on emollient and humectant moisturisers in dry skin is summarised in a review of basic emollients3.

Morning to night
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.
