Sourcing & Formulation

I make each product in small batches using a short list of ingredients. Everything is 100% pure and undiluted, sustainably sourced, responsibly packaged, and freshly filled to order.

How I Think About Formulation

I’m interested in:

• how oils absorb

• how they support the skin barrier

• how they feel after 10 minutes, not just at application

• Most of what I use is selected for one reason—compatibility with skin.

That means lipids that mimic what your skin already recognizes, combined with ingredients that help reduce moisture loss and calm irritation.

Ingredient Sourcing

Meadowfoam Seed Oil

Oregon, USA
Cold pressed and refined. Exceptionally stable due to its long-chain fatty acid structure, which helps it resist oxidation and hold moisture in the skin without feeling heavy.

Jojoba Seed Oil (Golden Organic)

Israel
Cold pressed. Technically a liquid wax ester, not a traditional oil, which makes it highly compatible with the skin’s natural sebum. Leaves a soft, satiny finish.

Squalane (Olive-Derived)

Mediterranean
Expeller pressed and refined from olive fruit. Lightweight, clear, and fast-absorbing. Closely mimics a key component of the skin’s natural lipid layer.

Oat Kernel Oil

Netherlands
Ethanol extracted and unrefined. Rich in skin-supportive lipids and antioxidants. Adds a slower-absorbing, calming layer to the formula.

Argan Oil

Morocco
Cold pressed and unrefined. Lightweight and fast-absorbing with a naturally high content of vitamin E and fatty acids.

Sweet Almond Oil

California, USA
Cold pressed and unrefined. A balanced, medium-weight oil that softens and conditions the skin.

Citrus Oils (Bergamot, Grapefruit, Lemon)

Italy and USA
Used in small amounts for their natural aromatic profile. No synthetic fragrance.

Alpha-Bisabolol

Brazil (Candeia tree)
A plant-derived, oil-soluble ingredient used at low levels to help calm visible irritation and support skin comfort.

Quality & Freshness

All oils are stored properly and blended without heat to preserve their structure.

• No fillers

• No dilution

• No added fragrance

• No unnecessary processing

Each batch is mixed, bottled, and shipped in small quantities to maintain freshness and consistency.

Why This Matters

Oils are sensitive. Exposure to heat, light, and air can degrade them over time, which affects both performance and skin feel.

That’s why I:

• keep batch sizes small

• minimize handling

• and package each order fresh
