Ingredients

We are a nurse-founded, small-batch studio. Every ingredient earns its place — chosen to perform, not to pad a label. You will find the full INCI list on every product page so you always know exactly what you are putting on your skin.

What We Work With

Nourishing Butters & Oils

Shea Butter

Rich in fatty acids and vitamins A and E. Deeply moisturises and supports the skin barrier, leaving skin soft and supple.

Cocoa Butter

A dense, protective butter that locks in moisture and gives our body butters their signature melt-on-skin texture.

Mango Butter

Lightweight for a butter, absorbs readily and soothes dry or irritated skin without a heavy residue.

Jojoba Oil

Technically a liquid wax that closely mimics the skin's own sebum — balancing, non-comedogenic, and suitable for all skin types.

Castor Oil

Thick and humectant-rich, it draws moisture to the skin and adds slip and glide to our formulations.

Rice Bran Oil

High in antioxidants and vitamin E, it absorbs quickly and helps protect against environmental stressors.

Traditional & Skin-Familiar Fats

Tallow

A traditional, nutrient-dense fat whose fatty acid profile closely mirrors that of human skin. Used in our Velvet Tallow range for deep, lasting moisture that feels completely natural on skin.

Goat Milk

Naturally rich in lactic acid, vitamins, and minerals. Gently exfoliates, soothes, and nourishes — particularly suited to sensitive or reactive skin.

Lightweight Face Oils

Squalane

A plant-derived oil that is virtually identical to the squalene our skin produces naturally. Hydrates without heaviness and is suitable for all skin types including oily and acne-prone.

Rosehip Oil

Cold-pressed and rich in essential fatty acids and natural vitamin A. Supports skin renewal, helps fade the appearance of scars and uneven tone, and absorbs quickly.


Brightening Actives

These ingredients work over time to target uneven tone, dullness, and the appearance of dark spots. Results are gradual and consistent use is key.

Kojic Dipalmitate

A stable, oil-soluble form of kojic acid. Inhibits melanin production to help brighten and even skin tone without the irritation of some other actives.

Licorice Root Extract

Contains glabridin, which helps suppress pigmentation and calm inflammation — making it ideal for sensitive skin prone to post-inflammatory marks

Turmeric

A traditional brightening botanical with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Helps reduce the appearance of dullness and uneven tone.

Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate (Vitamin C)

A highly stable, oil-soluble vitamin C that penetrates effectively without oxidising. Brightens, protects against free radical damage, and supports collagen synthesis.

Sun Protection NoteBrightening actives can increase photosensitivity. Always apply a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher during the day when using any brightening product. Do not skip this step.

Antioxidants & Skin-Soothing Actives

Vitamin E (Tocopherol)

A powerful antioxidant that protects skin cells from oxidative stress, supports healing, and extends the shelf life of our oil-based formulations naturally.

Sea Buckthorn

Exceptionally rich in carotenoids, omega fatty acids, and vitamins C and E. Supports skin regeneration and gives a natural radiance boost.

Panthenol (Provitamin B5)

Deeply hydrating and soothing. Penetrates into the skin to attract and retain moisture, and helps calm redness and irritation.
