What is inside. And why.

INCI · Allantoin

A gentle skin-conditioning agent that calms irritation and helps skin shed dead cells, so the surface feels smoother and looks plumper. Quiet, reliable, kind to reactive skin.

INCI · Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice

A water-rich leaf gel packed with polysaccharides that cools, hydrates and settles stressed skin. The first thing skin reaches for after sun, heat or a long day.

INCI · Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil

A lightweight Moroccan kernel oil rich in vitamin E and unsaturated fatty acids. Sinks in fast, softens without a film, and leaves skin supple rather than slick.

INCI · Ascorbic Acid & derivatives

A potent antioxidant that neutralises free radicals, fades dark spots and supports collagen for a brighter, more even tone. The morning vitamin that helps skin defend itself.

INCI · Azelaic Acid

A grain-derived acid that clears congestion, calms redness and fades post-blemish marks at once. Gentle enough for sensitive, blemish-prone and uneven skin.

INCI · Bakuchiol

A plant-derived alternative to retinol that smooths fine lines and firms skin without the dryness or sun-sensitivity. The retinol result, with none of the drama.

INCI · Bisabolol

The calming heart of chamomile, distilled. Reduces redness and helps other actives absorb, so a formula does more while feeling like less.

INCI · Betaine

A sugar-beet humectant that draws water into skin and protects cells from moisture stress. A soft, gentle hydrator that plays well with everything.

INCI · Caffeine

A vasoconstrictor and antioxidant that visibly de-puffs and tightens, especially around the eyes. The wake-up call your skin understands.

INCI · Calendula Officinalis Flower Extract

Marigold petal extract — steady, anti-inflammatory, kind to skin that flares. The old garden remedy, still doing the work.

INCI · Carbomer

A thickener that turns thin liquid into gel. It does nothing to your skin — it is the reason a serum stays where you put it.

INCI · Centella Asiatica Extract · "Cica"

Known as cica, this healing herb rebuilds a compromised barrier, calms inflammation and speeds recovery. The ingredient skin leans on when it has had enough.

INCI · Ceramide NP, AP, EOP

The lipids that make up your skin's own barrier mortar. Replacing them seals in moisture and shuts out irritation, so skin stops feeling tight and reactive.

INCI · Cetyl Alcohol

A fatty alcohol from coconut or palm — waxy, not stripping. Nothing like the alcohol that stings: this one softens and holds a cream together.

INCI · Chamomilla Recutita Flower Extract

Daisy-family extract rich in bisabolol. It takes the heat out of reactive skin without dulling it.

INCI · Cocos Nucifera Oil · Kerala-sourced

A deeply softening oil rich in lauric acid, drawn from Kerala groves. Wraps dry skin and hair in lasting comfort. We source it from places, not catalogues.

INCI · Cetearyl Alcohol

A fatty alcohol — nothing like the drying kind. It thickens, softens and gives creams their cushioned glide. The unsung reason a lotion feels luxurious.

INCI · Panthenol

Pro-vitamin B5 that holds water in skin, calms redness and supports the barrier as it heals. A quiet multitasker that makes irritated skin feel cared for.

Ethanolamines

Cheap foam-boosters and pH-adjusters we choose not to use. We would rather formulate cleanly than chase a bigger lather. Not in our bottles.

INCI · Dimethicone

A silicone that sits on the surface and makes skin feel instantly smooth. It does not sink in, block pores or feed bacteria — it is behind almost every slip-soft texture you have liked.

INCI · Ectoin

An extremolyte that shields skin cells from heat, pollution and water loss by surrounding them in a protective shell of hydration. Resilience, bottled.

Steam-distilled plant aromatics

Concentrated plant aromatics that give a product its natural character and mood. Used with care and at sensible levels — fragrance is our craft, not an afterthought.

INCI · Ferulic Acid

A plant antioxidant that fights free radicals and makes vitamins C and E work harder and last longer. The team player that lifts everyone around it.

& formaldehyde-releasing preservatives

A preservative type we refuse on principle. There are gentler, modern ways to keep a formula safe — and those are the ones we use. Never in our bottles.

INCI · Glycerin

The most trusted humectant in skincare — it pulls water into the skin and keeps it there. Quietly does the heavy lifting in nearly every great moisturiser.

INCI · Glyceryl Stearate

The emulsifier that keeps oil and water from splitting in the jar. Quietly conditioning in its own right.

INCI · Glycolic Acid

The smallest alpha-hydroxy acid, so it works fast — dissolving dull, dead surface cells to reveal smoother, brighter skin. Glow with a little discipline.

INCI · Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract

Rich in polyphenols that defend skin from daily oxidative stress while calming redness. An everyday antioxidant with nothing to prove.

INCI · Sodium Hyaluronate

A moisture magnet that holds many times its weight in water, plumping fine lines from within. Different molecular sizes hydrate at different depths at once.

INCI · Mel

A natural humectant that draws in moisture while soothing and softening. Comfort food for skin that feels tight and tired.

INCI · Simmondsia Chinensis Seed Oil

Technically a wax, and the closest thing in nature to skin's own sebum — so it balances rather than clogs. Suits oily and dry skin alike.

INCI · Kojic Acid

A fermentation-derived brightener that interrupts excess pigment to fade dark spots and even out tone. Gentle persistence over harsh bleaching.

INCI · Garcinia Indica Seed Butter

A firm, fast-absorbing Indian butter that restores elasticity without heaviness. The lesser-known cousin of shea — lighter, and beautifully ours.

INCI · Lactic Acid

The kindest alpha-hydroxy acid — it resurfaces dull skin while actually drawing in moisture. Exfoliation for people who thought acids weren't for them.

INCI · Glycyrrhiza Glabra Root Extract

A botanical that brightens dark spots and calms redness in the same breath. A gentle answer to uneven, sensitised skin.

INCI · Magnesium salts

The mineral your muscles use to unclench. On skin it softens and settles — which is why it belongs in the lotion you reach for at night.

INCI · Mandelic Acid

A large, slow-moving acid derived from almonds — so it clears and evens without overwhelming sensitive or deeper skin tones. Resurfacing with restraint.

Paraffinum Liquidum

A cheap petroleum-derived filler we skip in favour of plant butters and oils that actually feed the skin. We would rather nourish than coat.

INCI · Astrocaryum Murumuru Seed Butter

A silky Amazonian butter that conditions skin and hair to a soft sheen. Deeply nourishing without the greasy after-feel.

INCI · Niacinamide · Vitamin B3

A form of vitamin B3 that refines pores, evens tone, strengthens the barrier and balances oil — all at once. The rare active almost every skin gets along with.

INCI · Avena Sativa Kernel Flour

Finely milled oats that form a soothing, protective film over irritated, itchy skin. The classic remedy for skin that needs to be left alone to heal.

INCI · Olea Europaea Fruit Oil

An ancient skin oil rich in squalene and polyphenols that deeply softens and protects. Time-tested comfort for very dry skin.

INCI · various signal & carrier peptides

Short chains of amino acids that signal skin to make more collagen, firming and smoothing over time. Skincare that speaks the skin's own language.

Methyl-, Propyl-, Butylparaben

A preservative family we choose to formulate without. Our products stay safe with gentler, modern systems. Never in a TLC bottle.

INCI · Phenoxyethanol

The preservative that stops a water-based formula growing mould in an Indian bathroom. Used under 1%, cleared worldwide, and far kinder than the alternative — a product that spoils on your shelf.

Fragrance plasticisers

Plasticisers sometimes hidden inside "fragrance." As a fragrance-led house, we build our scents without them — on purpose, and with pride.

INCI · Retinol · Vitamin A

The most studied anti-ageing active there is — it speeds cell turnover to smooth lines, refine texture and firm skin. Powerful, so introduce it slowly.

INCI · Rosa Canina Fruit Oil

A dry, fast-sinking oil rich in natural vitamin A and essential fatty acids that fades marks and revives dull skin. A glow you can feel as well as see.

INCI · Rosa Damascena Flower Water · Kannauj

Steam-distilled from Kannauj roses, this gentle floral water tones, hydrates and calms. The same rose that runs through our fragrances, here on the skin.

INCI · Salicylic Acid

An oil-soluble acid that gets inside the pore to clear blockages, blackheads and bumps at the source. The active blemish-prone and body skin rely on.

INCI · Butyrospermum Parkii Butter

A rich, vitamin-packed butter that wraps dry skin in lasting softness and rebuilds the barrier. The gold standard for true body nourishment.

INCI · Sodium Hydroxide

Used in trace amounts to set a formula's pH so it matches skin. None of it is still active by the time the jar reaches you.

INCI · Squalane · plant-derived

A weightless, plant-derived oil that mirrors a lipid skin already makes — so it softens and seals without a trace of grease. Comfort that disappears into skin.

Sodium Lauryl / Laureth Sulfate

Aggressive foaming agents that strip skin and hair of their natural oils. We cleanse with gentler surfactants that respect the barrier. Not in our washes.

INCI · Helianthus Annuus Seed Oil

Light, linoleic-rich and quick to sink in. It reinforces a thin barrier without the weight of a heavier oil.

INCI · Melaleuca Alternifolia Leaf Oil

A purifying essential oil that helps keep blemish-prone skin clear. Used at measured levels, it clarifies without stripping.

INCI · Tocopherol

A skin-loving antioxidant that protects against environmental damage while keeping oils fresh and skin conditioned. Quietly present in almost everything good.

Antibacterial agent

A controversial antibacterial we have no use for. Clean skin does not need harsh chemistry. Never in our formulas.

INCI · Urea

A clever dual-action ingredient — hydrating at low levels, gently exfoliating at higher ones. The fix for rough, dry, bumpy body skin.

INCI · Hamamelis Virginiana Water

A botanical astringent that tones and refreshes oilier skin. We use the gentle, alcohol-free form so it comforts rather than tightens.

INCI · Xanthan Gum

A natural, fermentation-derived thickener that gives gels and creams their beautiful body and stability. Texture you feel but never think about.

INCI · Zinc PCA / Zinc Oxide

A mineral that balances excess oil, calms blemish-prone skin and shields the surface. Steadying for skin that runs reactive or congested.
