Botanical Profile:
Highly nutritious reishi and shiitake ferment give this formula a heavier weight mist due to the naturally occurring polysaccharides (like beta-glucans) creating a breathable, hydrating layer that draws in moisture to soothe stressed skin. The wide range of amino acids present has been shown to help with sun damage in addition to improving cellular renewal to promote elasticity and wound healing.
Niacinamide with a 5% dilution is a powerful water-soluble form of vitamin B3. As an antioxidant, it pairs well with the white-horehound and Japanese knotweed (trans-resveratrol) herbal extracts to manage damage caused by free radicals, sun exposure, and pollution. Niacinamide has also been shown to reduce the appearance of discoloration, hyperpigmentation, and reducing redness. Along with stabilizing the skin's barrier function, such as increasing the production of ceramides, preventing loss of moisture.
Enhanced with infusions from our garden using favorite skin soothers like marshmallow & wild pansy to further increase hydration, holding water close the skin.
The inclusion of Meadowsweet adds a refining component to even out the complexion and assists follow-up layers to absorb better.
Ritual:
After cleansing, shake well and mist face, taking deep breaths. Careful not to get any into your eyes. While the skin is still wet apply serum and face oil to seal in hydration.
Using plant-based humectants can sometimes create a thicker protective film on the skin that takes a bit longer to absorb than lab-based ingredients. We find this initial tackiness helps bind your oil or balm after it’s applied to create a skin-similar layer. After a few minutes, the skin should feel smooth and hydrated.
