Formula Information:
For Summer 26, we have introduced Chia Seed Oil Co2, Raspberry Seed Oil Co2 & Centella Asiatica Co2 to assist the skin with the increase in heat & UV exposure.
This seasons scent is elevated with soft Neroli & Petigrain. Warm orange blossom and sun-warmed herbs, lifted by a clean green freshness. Like an open window on a long summer evening.
Retinatural™ Proprietary natural Retinol alternative - Bakuchiol 2%, Lupeol + Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate (Stabilised Vitamin C), Sea Buckthorn, Rosehip, Frankincense, Helichrysum, Pro-Vitamin A + Vitamins C & E. Safe for all skin types, including sensitive.
Bottled by hand, once per season when the ingredients are the most alive and potent.
Using only 100% natural & organic, CO2-extracted oils, we preserve the plant’s true profile for maximum bioavailability. Every drop is traceable; every ingredient, intentional.
Retinatural™ Complex: An advanced, clinically proven 100% natural retinol alternative. Featuring a high-potency concentration of Bakuchiol (2%), Lupeol, and VC-IP, this advanced complex acts as a structural architect for the dermis. While Bakuchiol accelerates cellular turnover to refine surface texture, our White Lupin-derived Lupeol triggers the HSP47 chaperone protein. This critical "quality control" mechanism ensures that new Type I Collagen is correctly folded and woven into a high-tension, organised matrix rather than a disorganised cluster.
The results are clinically significant: experience a 72% increase in skin firmness and a visible 11% remodelling of the facial contours in just 6 weeks. Continued use beyond 12 weeks fortifies the skin’s "snap-back" elasticity, creating a resilient, densified foundation that defies the daily pull of gravity.
Seasonal by Design: Your skin is not static; it evolves with its environment. That’s why our formula moves with the seasons. While our core formula never changes, we subtly adjust the supporting lipids for the time of year, offering deep fortification in the cold and lightweight defence in the warmth. Exactly what your skin needs, exactly when it needs it.

Handcrafted in limited batches just once each season in our Sussex workshop, our formula is designed to align with the natural flow of the year.
While our core formulation remains constant, we make subtle, intentional adjustments to the supporting ingredients each season. Providing your skin with the precise protection and hydration it needs as the climate shifts.
Alongside this, new scents are mindfully tweaked, transforming your daily routine into a grounding, sensory ritual aligned with nature's course.

Bakuchiol (2%)
Sourced from: India
At our 2% concentration Bakuchiol is a clinically proven natural alternative to retinol. A hero of Ayurvedic and traditional Chinese medicine. Proven to stimulate collagen production, smooth wrinkles, and improve clarity, it delivers transformative results with zero irritation. This powerful ingredient reduces fine lines, improves elasticity, evens skintone, and accelerates cell renewal.
White Lupin Seed Extract
Sourced from: France
This powerhouse ingredient acts as a cellular coach, weaving high-quality Type I Collagen back into the skin’s deepest layers. Clinically proven to reduce the appearance of facial sagging by 72%, it restores elasticity and physically lifts the facial contour.

Botanical Vitamin C Ester
Sourced from: France

Unlike traditional Vitamin C that oxidises quickly, our VC-IP remains stable and active within the skin for up to 40 times longer, providing constant, compounding results. It acts as the ultimate ignition switch: fading dark spots and sparking the production of fresh collagen for a vibrant, lit-from-within glow.
Sea Fennel
Sourced from: France
Its powerful antioxidant properties protect cells from UV-induced free radical damage, while its natural ability to regulate sebum keeps pores clear during hot, humid weather.

Additionally, its high amino acid content strengthens the skin barrier, locking in essential hydration to combat summer dryness and dehydration.

It delivers weightless hydration without clogging pores, making it an ideal substitute for heavy summer creams. Rich in antioxidants, neroli actively repairs environmental stress and accelerates cellular regeneration to counter UV damage. Its natural anti-inflammatory compounds instantly soothe sun-exposed redness, while its mild astringent action tones and tightens the skin for a shine-free, radiant glow.
Chia Seed

Sea Buckthorn
Sourced from: England.
An all round wonder. Its rich composition of vitamins (A. C. E. K), antioxidants, & all four omega fatty acids (3, 6, 7, and 9). These components work to deeply nourish, repair, and protect the skin. The oil helps fight free radicals caused by environmental stressors like pollution and UV exposure, which are major causes of premature aging
Rosehip

Packed with trans-retinoic acid, vitamins A & essential fatty acids, it delivers deep rejuvenation while supporting collagen production and restoring glow. It also improves elasticity, brightens uneven tone, fades marks, and supports deep repair.
Sacred Frankincense
Sourced from: Oman
Revered by the ancient Egyptians & derived from the Boswellia tree, Its astringent and toning qualities dramatically reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. Frankincense strengthens the skins health, evens out complexion, and adds elasticity to the skin. it's also rich in antioxidants that fight free radicals which helps prevent premature aging.
Helichrysum
Sourced from: Italy

It's also renowned for its ability to promote skin regeneration, boost collagen and elastin production & is a potent antioxidant with high anti-inflammatory benefits.
Raspberry Seed Oil
Sourced from: Poland
A natural shield for sun-drenched days, red raspberry seed oil is an exceptional summer skin guardian. Packed with ellagic acid and vitamin E, it actively helps neutralise free radicals and defend against environmental stressors caused by UV exposure. Its balanced profile of essential fatty acids deeply nourishes and repairs the skin's barrier without feeling heavy in the heat, while its potent anti-inflammatory properties work to instantly soothe redness, calm sun-induced irritation, and restore a soft, radiant glow.
Rosemary
Sourced from: Tunisia
Rich in potent bio-actives, it delivers a surge of antioxidants that combat environmental stressors and soothe inflammation, helping to maintain a calm and radiant skin barrier. Beyond its direct skin benefits, it plays a crucial role as a powerful natural preservative. By effectively inhibiting oxidation, it protects the structural integrity of the delicate plant oils within the formula
Moonstone
Sourced from: Sri Lanka
Throughout history, moonstone has been revered across global civilisations as a sacred physical manifestation of the moon itself. In Ancient Rome and Greece, it was believed to be formed from solidified moonbeams or the tears of the moon goddess Selene, and it was often worn as a talisman of protection, love, and foresight.
Left: Before | Right: Day 3
The skin’s lipid barrier instantly absorbs the omega-dense botanical base, rapidly restoring moisture reserves while oil-soluble actives begin neutralising surface-level oxidative stress. Skin feels deeply conditioned, supple, and entirely free of tightness overnight. Within the first 72 hours, overall dullness begins to lift, revealing a noticeably brighter, "awakened" complexion.
Left: Before | Right: Week 4
As the epidermis completes its first partial turnover cycle, the formula actively targets deeper, existing discoloration and photodamage. Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate continues breaking down localized hyperpigmentation and providing advanced defense against environmental free radicals. Dark spots & uneven tone begin to visibly fade. The complexion appears significantly more uniform, clear, and structurally balanced.
Left: Before | Right: Week 8
Cellular turnover accelerates, fundamentally refining the skin's micro-texture. Our clinical 2% Bakuchiol acts as a biocompatible retinol alternative, promoting cellular renewal without the barrier compromise or irritation traditionally associated with synthetic Vitamin A. The physical texture of the skin is smoothed. Pores appear more refined, rough patches dissolve, and superficial fine lines begin to soften along with a firmer overall complexion.
Left: Before | Right: Week 12
The compounding effects of the active profile reach peak efficacy, supporting the skin's deeper architecture. The synergy between 2% Bakuchiol and Collageneer (White Lupin extract) actively supports the skin’s natural collagen synthesis network. The skin feels fundamentally reinforced. Deep-set lines appear less pronounced, elasticity improves, and facial contours feel & look noticeably firmer and more resilient to the touch.
Ongoing benefits - Week 12 +
Skincare isn't a sprint; it’s an architectural project. This is where your results become permanent. By providing a daily dose of White Lupin and VC-IP, we are effectively 'freezing' the skin’s structural density—preventing future sagging before it begins and ensuring the skin remains firm & sculpted. This is Graceful Aging: it’s not about fixing a problem once, it’s about never letting the foundation weaken again.

Retinatural™ is our proprietary, 100% plant-derived complex and a clinically proven natural alternative to Retinol. Featuring 2% Bakuchiol, Lupeol & VCIP (stabilised vitamin C). It works by targeting the same cellular receptors as traditional Vitamin A, 're-tuning' your skin to reach its peak functional vitality without the harsh irritation & skin peeling of synthetic Retinol.
While the Bakuchiol accelerates cell turnover to refine texture, our White Lupin extract works at a deeper level by stimulating the synthesis of Type I Collagen - the skin's primary structural protein. By activating the HSP47 chaperone protein, it acts as a quality-control manager, ensuring new collagen fibres are correctly folded and woven into a tight, organised net.
The results are clinically significant: this structural reinforcement has been shown to improve skin firmness by up to 72% and visibly lift the facial oval by 11% in just 42 days.
Together with Pro-Vitamin A CO2 extracts, Retinatural™ delivers dermatologist-level resurfacing and structural density whilst remaining 100% natural.
