Seasonal Offering Coming Back in Summer of 2023!

Firming, brightening & restorative herbal dew drops for sun-loved complexions. Limiting oxidative damage and imparting the building blocks for gentle renewal via the plant-based

retinol alternative; Moth Bean.

A silky, lightweight serum that the skin drinks up quickly leaving behind soft, hydrated skin. With no added essential oils, the scent is of fresh, sun-kissed herbs to transport you to a colorful garden.

Suitable for all skin types, including sensitive and those who may be pregnant.

Botanical Profile

Artisan hydro-distillation of fresh Calendula, Chamomile, and Lemon Balm. Providing a cooling blanket of soothing phytonutrients to balance the complexion.

The renewal element comes from Moth Bean, an extract that is often associated with being a retinol alternative though it doesn’t contain any Vitamin A. With milder outcomes, it doesn’t cause sun sensitivity, dryness, or other common retinol side effects.
We use this little legume in our Exfoliating Serum but wanted a blend that could be used twice daily. Supporting vitality through improving elasticity and mindfully encouraging new cells to emerge. Where the powerful antioxidants act as a preventive measure.

We pulled a bit of inspiration from the Radiance Elixir with the use of niacinamide but boosted the benefits with a peptide complex of pea and quinoa proteins. In clinical testing, discoloration started to improve within 14 days.

Pomegranate peptides with their low molecular weight deliver moisture to plump fine lines and have a mild lifting effect.

Ultra hydrators like Beta-Glucans and snow mushroom soften the skin, limit redness, and reduce cell breakdown associated with UV damage.

Glycosphingolipids, a plant-based carbohydrate that is a precursor to ceramide function within the skin to stabilize cell membranes. This maintains moisture and provides protection from harsh conditions, adding life to photo-aged skin. When paired with the moth bean extract it improves cellular renewal through enhanced bio-availability.

Ritual

On lightly dampened skin, carefully pump a few drops of Solar Return Revitalizing Essence into your palm. Apply by pressing in a rolling motion into the skin. Covering your face, neck, and chest.

Follow up with your favorite facial oil or balm. This was designed specifically with the First Light Brightening Oil Serum in mind. For dryer skin, try the Renewing Concentrate.
