Botanical Oil Lab

How We Create your Botanical Oil

STEP 1

THE BASE Organic Plant Oils:

We begin with a thoughtfully curated blend of meticulously, world-wide sourced botanical lipids, customized to your skin’s needs and your environment. Every detail is tailored to one complexion - yours.

Step 2

Targeted Actives

Chosen with care, each oil-soluble active is selected for your skin alone. Each active is calibrated to refine texture, even tone, and strengthen the barrier. This is more than a moisturizer; it is a treatment built exclusively for you.

The Result? A luxurious, nutritious treatment oil, rich in performance, and transformative by design.
