The ritual

01
Cleanse

Start with clean, slightly damp skin, morning and evening.

02
Apply 3–5 drops

Press gently into the face and neck. A little goes a long way.

03
Absorb, then moisturize

Let it absorb fully before your moisturizer. Use daily for best results.

Evidence, not hype

The science behind every drop

Each active earns its place. We read the research as supportive of mechanism — not as proof of any outcome.

Cordyceps
Cordyceps Militaris

A functional mushroom studied for microcirculation and antioxidant support — the glow active.

Niacinamide
Vitamin B3

Evens tone and reinforces the moisture barrier.

Tremella
Snow mushroom

Holds up to 500× its weight in water for deep, weightless hydration.

What early testers say

Questions, answered

Can I use it with vitamin C or retinol? +

Yes — niacinamide is well tolerated alongside most actives. Introduce one new product at a time and patch test if sensitive.

How soon will I see a difference? +

Skin renews in cycles, so consistency matters more than speed. Use daily and give the barrier a full cycle.

Is it fragrance-free? +

Yes — no added fragrance and no colorants. Full INCI is on the page.

Pregnant or breastfeeding? +

We recommend checking with your doctor before introducing any new product.
