Our face elixirs are water-based, and our face oils are oil-based.  

Our water-based serums contain hyaluronic acid - a highly effective ingredient when seeking more hydration. Our elixirs are also made up of a combination of traditional herbal tinctures that are carefully chosen to treat specific skin types. Our oil-based serums contain the highest quality plant-based oils that are rich in antioxidants and essential fatty acids. Check out the key ingredient list below each elixir and oil for specific information on each individual serum. 

Ultimately, our skin needs both water and oil to be in balance. Our elixirs provide hydration (water) and nutrients to the skin, whereas our oils provide moisturization with the lipids needed to fortify the skin cells. They work synergistically to increase hydration of the skin while improving barrier function and overall quality of the skin. Also, our elixirs absorb instantly and when you blend an elixir and an oil together, the oil will absorb much deeper into the skin than if you were to apply an oil on its own. 

Our elixirs can be used on their own on a younger skin or for oily skin types. We recommend pairing them with a face oil or cream if the skin is even slightly dehydrated or dry because our skin needs both oil and water-based products. We encourage people to tune into their own skin and determine individual needs through routine assessment. You know your skin better than anyone else! Moisture levels can change with hydration levels, weather conditions and dietary intake of essential fatty acids.  

This elixir was formulated with mature and dry skin in mind. It contains ingredients that increase collagen production and help tone and tighten the skin. Additionally, hyaluronic acid draws water into the skin cells, plumping them up, helping to reduce the appearance fine lines and wrinkles. 

We recommend using this product 2 times per day - once in the morning and once in the evening. If dryness is your main concern, our Marula + Cactus Nourishing Face Oil would be the best choice. If you are concerned with fine lines, we suggest pairing it with our Prickly Pear + Schisandra Youth Concentrate. 

Yes, it is! The formula has not changed for this product, however, we have made a slight name change.
