Active Function:

• Clears acne through anti-inflammatory action
• Stimulates collagen production (like retinol)
• Reduces inflammation and redness
• Repairs and strengthens skin barriers
• Menopausal suddenly-sensitive skin Teenage sensitive skin

Why It's Different from Retinol:

• Same acne-clearing + anti-aging benefits as retinol, but gentle enough for:
• Post-Accutane pharmaceutical damage
• Pregnancy (ECOCERT safe, no birth defect risk)
• Hypersensitive, reactive barriers

No irritation. No peeling. No barrier damage.

Active Function:

• Reduces inflammatory acne through antioxidant action
• Balances sebum production without over-drying
• Calms redness and irritation
• Strengthens compromised barriers

Why It Works for Damaged Skin:
Gentle anti-inflammatory control that clears breakouts without attacking already-compromised barriers. Safe for post-Accutane, pregnancy, mature, and teen skin.

Active Function

• Accelerates skin repair and cellular regeneration
• Fades post-acne hyperpigmentation and scarring
• Rich in essential fatty acids (Omega 3, 6, 9) for barrier health
• Delivers Vitamin A naturally (without retinol irritation)
• Deeply nourishes without clogging pores (non-comedogenic)
  
  

Why It Works for Damaged Skin:
Rosehip is essential for post-Accutane and retinol-damaged barriers. Its natural trans retinoic acid content stimulates collagen and cell turnover without the irritation of prescription retinol — perfect for skin too sensitive for traditional actives.

The essential fatty acid profile repairs compromised barriers while the Vitamin C content fades post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation left by acne. Safe for pregnancy, gentle for mature skin, ideal for barrier repair while clearing breakouts.

Active Function:

• Contains rare Omega-7 (Palmitoleic Acid) for deep barrier repair
• Provides all 4 Omegas (3, 6, 7, 9) — unmatched fatty acid profile
• Soothes inflammation and reduces redness from active breakouts
• Supports collagen production and skin elasticity
• Protects against environmental damage with 190+ bioactive compounds
  
  

Why It Works for Compromised Skin:
Sea Buckthorn is one of the only plant sources of Omega-7, a rare fatty acid critical for repairing pharmaceutical-damaged, post-Accutane, and chronically dry skin. Its complete Omega profile rebuilds lipid barriers that have been destroyed by harsh treatments, while its anti-inflammatory properties calm acne without aggravating sensitive skin.

Particularly effective for:

• Post-Accutane destroyed sebaceous glands
• Extremely dry, flaky, compromised barriers
• Inflammatory acne on sensitive skin
• Mature skin needing both acne control and anti-aging support

Active Function:

• Exceptional antioxidant protection (rich in polyphenols)
• Calms inflammatory acne and reduces skin reactivity
• Provides essential fatty acids for barrier integrity
• Supports cellular regeneration and wound healing
• Protects against oxidative stress that triggers breakouts
  
  

Why It Works for Sensitive, Acne-Prone Skin:

Elderberry's high polyphenol content makes it exceptional for calming reactive, hypersensitive skin that breaks out from inflammation rather than excess oil. Its antioxidant profile protects compromised barriers from environmental triggers (pollution, stress, hormonal fluctuations)
that cause breakouts — particularly effective for:

• Hormonal pregnancy acne
• Menopausal adult acne triggered by oxidative stress
• Post-Accutane skin prone to inflammation
• Teenage acne from hormonal fluctuations
  
  

Elderberry works synergistically with Bakuchiol to provide both anti-inflammatory acne control and protective barrier
support.
