Smoother-looking, velvety skin with a plant alternative
A lightweight face serum with organic aloe juice, jojoba oil and Bidens pilosa extract for smoother-looking surface texture and fine lines.
Visible benefits
Texture & pores
- Lightweight and non-tacky — fluid texture absorbs quickly and layers comfortably under your daily moisturiser.
- A creamy texture that does not dry — cetearyl alcohol is a fatty alcohol, not a drying one.
- Fast-absorbing, non-greasy feel — light plant-derived emollients.
Hydration
- Smoother-looking skin — Bidens pilosa extract is a gentle plant alternative to retinol.
Soothing & comfort
- A soothing, refreshing feel — aloe leaf juice comforts the skin as it hydrates.
Hair & lengths
- Smooth lengths, less frizz — murumuru seed butter.

What the science says
Aloe vera leaf juice — In research on creams containing aloe, the water content of the outermost skin layer rose after 2 weeks compared with the same cream without aloe. [1]
Glycerin — Research on glycerin found it improves hydration of the outermost skin layer, the skin's moisture barrier and its softness and suppleness, and that it is especially helpful in dry, cold conditions. [2]
Jojoba seed oil — Research describes jojoba 'oil' as a liquid wax made of long-chain esters, widely used in moisturisers and sunscreens for skin feel and softness. [3]
The cited research looks at aloe, glycerin and jojoba in general, not at our serum. Bidens pilosa extract is at position 12, a plant-derived ingredient promoted as a retinol alternative; we quote no study for it and state no concentration. The hyaluronic acids, sea buckthorn and rosehip come late in the list, after the fragrance, so they are small amounts and we make no claim for them.
These are published studies on the ingredients, not tests of this product. Study concentrations and formulas differ from ours; individual results vary.
