Bakuchiol (Sytenol® A)

Created by potrace 1.16, written by Peter Selinger 2001-2019

What it is

A rare, plant-derived extract from the seeds of the Psoralea corylifolia (Babchi) plant. Under the trademark Sytenol® A, it is the purest, most clinically studied form of bakuchiol — proven to deliver retinol-like results without the irritation. Gentle, stable, and potent, it is one of the most celebrated natural breakthroughs in modern skincare.

Why we use it

We choose Sytenol® A because it offers the best of both worlds: the proven age-defying results of retinol, with the gentleness of a botanical oil. In our Everlasting Tallow Melt and Rose & Neroli Age-Defying Serum, it leads the renewal ritual — smoothing, brightening, and restoring the skin while remaining safe for even the most sensitive complexions.

Fermentation Actives (Kombucha Vinegar · SCOBY Extract · FermentedCranberry Powder)

Created by potrace 1.16, written by Peter Selinger 2001-2019

What it is

A trio of powerful byproducts from our kombucha craft — Kombucha Vinegar, SCOBY Extract, and Fermented Cranberry Powder. Born through natural fermentation, they are brimming with organic fruit acids, living enzymes, and postbiotics that resurface the skin gently yet effectively. Unlike harsh synthetic exfoliants, these actives refine and renew while also
feeding and protecting the skin.

Created by potrace 1.16, written by Peter Selinger 2001-2019

Why we use it

We use fermentation actives because they deliver true natural exfoliation — the kind that comes from fruit acids and enzymes, not from harsh chemical peels. They gently dissolve dull, dead cells, smoothing the skin’s surface and preparing it to better absorb oils, serums, and balms that follow. In our Kombucha Vinegar, SCOBY, and Fermented Fruit Powders, postbiotics (beneficial compounds left behind after fermentation) help support the skin’s microbiome, strengthen its barrier, and create a smoother, more resilient complexion.

Green Coffee Bean Oil

Created by potrace 1.16, written by Peter Selinger 2001-2019

What it is

Cold-pressed from raw, unroasted Coffea arabica beans, green coffee oil is a lightweight, nutrient-rich oil packed with caffeine, essential fatty acids, and potent antioxidants. Unlike roasted coffee, which loses many of its delicate compounds, green coffee preserves chlorogenic acid and other powerful actives that revitalize and protect the skin.

Created by potrace 1.16, written by Peter Selinger 2001-2019

Why we use it

We include green coffee oil for its ability to awaken, energize, and refresh the skin — especially the delicate under-eye area. In the Marrow & Mocha Eye Butter and the Moringa & Prickly Pear Eye Serum, it helps reduce puffiness, brighten dark circles, and bring a renewed vitality to tired eyes, while protecting the skin from environmental stressors.

Created by potrace 1.16, written by Peter Selinger 2001-2019

Skin benefits

  • Reduces under-eye bags and puffiness with natural caffeine.
  • Helps diminish the look of dark circles for a more rested appearance.
  • Supports elasticity and smooths fine lines.

Vitamin E (T-95 Concentrate)

Created by potrace 1.16, written by Peter Selinger 2001-2019

What it is

A highly concentrated form of natural vitamin E (95% purity tocopherol), derived from plant oils.

Known as one of the skin’s most vital antioxidants, vitamin E helps preserve lipids, protect cell membranes, and maintain youthful elasticity. Because it is fat-soluble, it integrates seamlessly into the skin barrier, where it defends and repairs at the deepest level.

Created by potrace 1.16, written by Peter Selinger 2001-2019

Why we use it

We use Vitamin E T-95 because it is exceptionally pure and potent — far stronger than the diluted versions often found in skincare. In nearly every formula in our line, it plays a protective role: extending the freshness of oils, amplifying antioxidant power, and restoring resilience to skin that faces daily stressors.

Created by potrace 1.16, written by Peter Selinger 2001-2019

Skin benefits

  • Neutralizes free radicals to slow the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
  • Fortifies the lipid barrier, preventing dryness and irritation.
  • Replenishes essential fatty acids for smooth, supple skin.
  • Aids in calming inflammation and speeding recovery of stressed or damaged skin.
