WHY IT WORKS

Everything lifted.

Nothing compromised.

Chosen to cleanse without cost — jojoba, squalane and sea buckthorn.

Jojoba
  • JOJOBA
  • SPF
  • MAKEUP

01.

Jojoba

A liquid wax that mirrors skin's own sebum — dissolving oil-based SPF and long-wear pigments without destabilising the barrier.

Squalane
  • SQUALANE
  • LIGHT
  • BARRIER

02.

Squalane

Replenishes a lipid naturally found in skin, leaving a weightless protective layer that survives the rinse.

Sea Buckthorn
  • OMEGA-7
  • SOFT
  • NOURISH

03.

Sea Buckthorn

Used at a precise low dose for omega-7 fatty acids that support the skin's own barrier — so skin feels softer, not just cleaner.

Ritual tip

Apply to a completely dry face — water starts emulsifying the oil on contact.
