How We Craft Your Crystal Serum

Designed to meet your skin where it is and guide it to where you want it to be.

Step 1: The Base

Sake Silk™
Concentration: 60- 90%

• Why we use it:

  • Brightening & Refining: Naturally rich in kojic acid, for reducing dark spots and improving tone without irritation.

  • Barrier Support: Delivers enzymes, vitamins (especially B-complex), and amino acids that help reinforce the skin barrier while locking in moisture for longer-lasting hydration

  • Mattifying: Regulates oil production and refines texture, leaving skin velvety-soft, balanced, and visibly more even.

  • Multi-Functional Synergy: Functions as both a treatment and a delivery system - making every layer that follows more effective.

Step 2: The Support Actives Concentration: 5–20%

• Why we use them:

Support Actives are selected to encourage your skin’s return to homeostasis—its ideal, balanced state. They work by reinforcing areas where your skin is weakest while calming any functions that are overactive. The result is skin that feels more stable, resilient, and in sync.

Support Actives are also blended to customize your serum’s sensory elements:

• Refine Texture: Precisely fine-tune the final feel of your serum—whether you prefer a silky, creamy, or whisper-light finish.

• Refine Scent: If desired, we can add a trace of pure essential oils for a subtle aromatic effect—never overpowering, always optional.

Step 3: The Targeted Actives
Concentration: 5 - 20%

• Why we use them:

With your skin now balanced and supported, we focus on the specific concerns that matter most to you—whether that’s hydration, dullness, pigmentation, fine lines, or sensitivity. This final step layers three distinct categories of high-performance actives, selected to work synergistically for deeper, longer-lasting results.

• Moisturizers: We blend the ideal balance of prebiotics, emollients, humectants, and occlusives for your skin.

• Antioxidants: A precise blend of antioxidants, regenerators, and anti-glycation ingredients is chosen to shield against the primary environmental and oxidative stressors you face every day.

• Repair + Renew: We combine actives to target and visibly correct your primary skin concerns.

  The Result: A serum unlike any other.

  Built for where your skin is today, and where you want it to be tomorrow.
