Key Ingredients

Squalane, Abyssinian, Argan, Meadowfoam and Cranberry Oil- Meticulously curated and sourced oils chosen for their exceptional skin compatibility and fatty acid profiles. Rather than relying on a single hero oil, this serum combines multiple high-performance, non-pore-clogging oils that work together to nourish, soften and support the skin barrier without unnecessary fillers or excess weight. The Antioxidant Oil Serum is fast-absorbing and leaves a silky-soft finish. 

Astaxanthin- A carotenoid and said to be the "King of Antioxidants".  It is a red-colored compound typically found in certain algae and salmon. Few ingredients measure up to Astaxanthin's effectiveness when it comes to helping protect skin lipids and collagen from free-radical damage *

THD Ascorbate- Additional antioxidant support is the long-studied and the most stable form of Vitamin C. This oil-soluble form of Vitamin C is able to penetrate the skin's lipid barrier more effectively than traditional vitamin C, while also being more gentle. Research suggests it helps visibly brighten uneven skin tone, improve firmness and elasticity, and soften the appearance of fine lines. Vitamin C remains popular due to its ability to balance and regulate sebum production, increase cell communication and cell turnover and offer protection against environmental stress on skin. *

Lupine Seed Extract, standardized (CO2LLAGENEER®) - A patented active, derived from the seed coat of white lupin. Rich in naturally occurring peptides and lupeol, it is designed to support the skin's own collagen network. Although research is still emerging, the mechanism works uniquely by stimulating HSP47 (Heat Shock Protein 47) helping newly synthesized collagen form the correct triple-helix structure before it's transported. Properly folded collagen is stronger, more stable, and better able to support skin. HSP47 is widely recognized as indispensable for normal collagen maturation and organization. *

Menaquinone-7 (MK-7)- a form of vitamin K2, offers various benefits in cosmetics. A powerhouse of an ingredient and typically found in high-end luxury products. It performs an integral role in this serum to offer calm and even skin tone.  

Calendula, Chamomile, Rose Hips, and Rosemary Co2 Extracts- These are botanical extracts that have long history of antioxidant activity and soothing benefits. Using the highest quality and cleanest extracts available, blended gently to maintain integrity, to provide further support to the skin.
