Key Ingredients

Sandalwood nut oil is derived from a native Australian tree. It is a lightweight, dry, and highly absorbable emollient rich in ximenynic acid – a rare polyunsaturated fatty acid (found almost uniquely in this botanical) that helps calm and soothe the skin by coating and protecting the epidermis. The sandalwood nut oil in our products is sourced from sustainable local plantations.  

Sea fennel is coastal plant native to Europe. In skincare, its extract is used to protect the skin’s natural balance and to enhance hydration, giving radiance, uniformity and smoothness to the skin’s surface. It is an ideal ingredient for sensitive skin. 

Bakuchiol is an extract of the babchi plant, native to India and used frequently in Ayurvedic practices. It has been clinically demonstrated to reduce hyperpigmentation and wrinkles, and to assist with minimising blemishes. Calming and soothing, it also significantly increases skin firmness and reduces the appearance of pores, serving as a gentle active for mature and sensitive skin. 

Squalane is a plant-derived humectant – an intensely hydrating oil that attracts and retains moisture, making for wonderfully supple, plumped and radiant skin. (Not to be confused with animal-derived squalene.)

Bisabolol is a chemical compound that occurs naturally in chamomile. Known for its soothing, calming properties, it supports skins barrier function and effects a hydrated appearance and skin feel. 

Calendula is a flower native to Europe; it also has a long tradition as a soothing herb in Ayurvedic medicine. Calendula extract contains saponins, flavonoids and carotenoids with antioxidant properties that are used in skincare to help reduce the appearance of fine lines and skin hyperpigmentation. It is often used, too, as calming ingredient in formulations for irritated, dry, and sensitive skin.
