Active Botanicals:
Reishi Mushroom - Hand-harvested in the lush, carbon-rich boreal forests of Quebec. Reishi mushrooms contain soothing and restorative polysaccharides and beta-glucan and encourage the movement of static lymph, which decreases puffiness and dull complexion.
Astragalus Root - A naturally potent anti-inflammatory that bolsters the strength of connective tissue and overall skin health. Astragalus has been found to decrease the rate of environmentally induced collagen breakdown in the skin due to ultraviolet exposure.
Gotu Kola - This miraculous plant powerfully supports collagen production and nourishes the delicate connective tissue of the skin.
Nettle Leaf - Naturally rich in silica, sulphur, and rich phytonutrients, that helps in making skin healthier and more resilient to stress. It is a marvellous nutrient for the skin and helps boost resiliency to UV damage and environmental toxins.
Kombu Kelp Seaweed - Phytonutrient-rich and packed with skin-loving vitamins and minerals, our ethically hand-foraged seaweeds are ideal superfoods, infusing the skin with essential nutrients to nurture a radiant complexion.
Marshmallow Root - A natural humectant, marshmallow draws moisture to the skin, improving hydration levels. Rich in flavonoids with natural anti-inflammatory properties, this extract helps to repel and reverse UV and free radical damage.
Licorice Root - Softens hyperpigmentation and discolouration while blocking UV light with naturally occurring enzymes. Natural compounds reduce inflammation and swelling while toning and firming the skin. Rich in vital nutrients and antioxidants that block free radicals.
Comfrey Leaf - Contains natural allantoin, a powerful compound that acts as an emollient to nourish, moisturize, and soften the skin. Rich in tannins protect the skin from bacteria and environmental toxins by drawing out impurities and encouraging healing. Rosmarinic acid has antioxidant effects and helps protect the skin from UV damage.
Foraged Calendula Flower - Promotes skin tightness while minimizing day-to-day damage while increasing the hydration within the skin, which is one of the main ways to prevent signs of ageing. Deeply restorative for acne and redness-prone complexions, naturally rich in antioxidants and wound-healing antiseptic properties, and helps protect skin against UV rays.
Red Raspberry Seed Oil - Pure, unrefined and freshly pressed, featuring vibrant nutrients, essential fatty acids, carotenoids and flavonoids that boost our skin's resilience and recovery when exposed to the sun.
Sea Buckthorn Berry - One of the most critical superfoods for plump and nourished skin. It functions as a support plant to strengthen the skin's connective tissue as it changes from season to season and is exposed to the sun at varying degrees of intensity. We have the great privilege of receiving small, potent batches of freshly extracted Sea Buckthorn Berry Oil from our independent buckthorn herbary in Chipman, New Brunswick, located on the traditional unceded and unsurrendered territory of the Mi'kmaq, Peskotomuhkati and Wolastoqey peoples. This crucial component in our formulation process lends our serums and balms unparalleled nutritional density. Crafted from the entirety of the fruit and seed, this potent superfood elixir embodies a treasure trove of vital nutrients - a synergistic vitamin-dense ingredient that fosters complexion resilience and supports glowing skin vibrancy. This beautiful whole fruit is rich in essential fatty acids, carotenoids and flavonoids.
Wild Chamomile Blossom - Naturally anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, anti-inflammatory and antiseptic. It is also considered hypoallergenic, with the ability to neutralize skin irritants. Soothes the complexion and gently hydrates with a soft, warm and comforting scent.
