ingredients

the protein from oats, broken into fine pieces that spread into a soft film on your skin, helping it hold on to moisture after washing.

full of antioxidants, which help reduce the effects of everyday stress on your skin, like pollution. traditionally used to calm tired skin.

a gentle molecule that does the cleaning. one end of it holds on to oil, the other to water, so it lifts off makeup, sunscreen and sweat and lets water rinse them away. it’s made from sugar and fatty alcohols from plants, and it’s so mild it’s often used in baby shampoos, so it cleans without stripping your skin barrier.

a light, plant-based oil. your skin naturally makes a very similar oil, squalene, to keep itself soft, which is why squalane feels so at home on it. it also helps dissolve makeup and sunscreen.

found in every plant oil, and part of your skin’s own moisture system. it pulls water into the skin like a sponge.

comes from sugar beet, where it helps the plant survive drought and salty soil. on skin, it hydrates and keeps the wash gentle.

the base of the formula.

made from olive oil. they hold water and oil together, which is what turns them into a milk.

a soft, waxy ingredient from plant oils that makes the milk creamy. despite the name, it’s not the drying kind of alcohol.

a plant starch that gives the milk its body.

made by fermenting sugar, and the same thickener you’ll find in salad dressings and gluten-free baking.

the same acid that makes lemons sour. a tiny amount keeps the pH right for your skin.

potassium sorbate was first discovered in rowan berries (Sorbus), which gave it its name. together with sodium benzoate, a preservative also used in food, it keeps the milk safe from bacteria and mould.

from a Caribbean tree, sometimes called West Indian sandalwood, with a soft, woody scent.

from the wood of the camphor tree, gentle and slightly floral.

fresh and lemony, and one of the most precious essential oils, since the plant gives very little oil.

these come naturally with the essential oils. the law requires us to list them, as some people are sensitive to them.

the flower of the Slovenian mountains. it survives the strong sun high in the Alps by making its own antioxidants. on your skin, they help reduce the stress that sun exposure puts on skin cells, and slow down the process where sugars stiffen collagen and make skin look dull. in a clinical study, a cream with this planika extract smoothed the lines between the brows three times better than a placebo after four weeks. since planika is protected in Slovenia, ours is grown organically high in the Alps, specifically for cosmetics.

first discovered in 1985 in bacteria living in a salt lake in the Egyptian desert, where it protects them from heat, dryness and salt. ours comes from Germany, where it’s made naturally through fermentation. on your skin, it binds water, strengthens your skin barrier and helps protect it from pollution and the blue light from screens. it’s backed by more than 15 years of clinical research.
