A temperate forest immerses the skin with moisture as you walk through trails of western red cedars and mushrooms tucked under old growth. Along the waterways, wild roses peak through the shrubbery, and giant sea kelp sway in the ocean waves.
A rich, concentrated gel drenches parched skin with hydration while supporting a balanced flora for clear, comfortable skin.
Snow mushroom paired with sea kelp lends a stronger, more flexible film than hyaluronic acid, creating a second-skin hydration barrier. The layering of whole plant extracts to further soothe, diminish scarring, brighten, and protect against oxidative damage. Probiotic derivatives (postbiotic) and prebiotics can calm reactivity by rejuvenating the microbiome.
Being essential oil free, the scent is natural with earthy, sweet notes from wild rose and red cedar hydrosols.
Botanical Profile:
One of the key hydration elements used is a COSMOS-approved biological active extracted from Snow Mushroom. In clinical testing using Hyaluronic Acid as the control, it tested better for both initial hydration and improving the skin's natural ability to hold hydration longer.
Its unique texture dries down to leave the skin velvet soft, with a more matte finish. For those that produce excess oil, this could be used as a moisturizer on its own. Helping to balance without stripping the skin. For combination and dry skin, this is luxe hydrating layer under your favorite oil or balm.
The biome strengthening aspect comes from prebiotics (which many of our products have due to the type of plants we use) along with a new probiotic derivative (postbiotics). Feeding your existing biome with prebiotics where postbiotics give an opportunity to diversify the flora. In early research, this approach has been shown to help increase hydration significantly and calm inflamed skin.
Overall we find this blend helpful for those wanting to maintain balance or recondition distressed skin. Pairing well with many of our lipid barrier strengthening formulas designed for sensitivity.
Ritual:
Suitable for all skin types. After cleansing and mists, apply 1-2 pumps to damp skin. Layer under your favorite moisturizer, oil, and/or balm to seal in all the hydration. Can be used day and night.
