How We Craft Your Crystal Serum

Step 1. The Base

Sake Silk™

Our proprietary base for Crystal Serum is rooted in the Japanese art of rice fermentation. Koji Rice Powder is rich in enzymes, vitamins & amino acids. Sake Kasu is the nutrient-dense by-product of sake brewing, and a natural source of kojic acid for gentle brightening. Organic Sake Rice Flour softens, balances and refines all skin types. Together, they create a finely calibrated foundation — complete on its own, powerful in composition.

  • 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.

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

Step 2: Targeted Actives

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.
