Hydrating and Calming Treatment Essence

Dry, dehydrated, easily irritated skin? This is the answer! This amazing essence contains soothing plant hydrosols, powerful botanical extracts, and plant-derived sodium PCA for immediate plumping and deep hydration.

This unique blend of extracts and hydrosols can diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, hydrate, and soothe inflammation while addressing UV damage.

This essence does it all!

Use after cleansing, exfoliating, and toning as a gentle hydrating step before any serums or moisturizers, or as a pick me up at any time! Always vegan, as organic as we can be, and kind.

Centella asiatica is a potent antioxidant, an excellent hydrator, and a rich source of amino acids. It can help to revitalize your skin’s moisture barrier.

Oat beta glucans help to regulate inflammation, increase collagen synthesis, and boost cellular renewal in the skin.

Sodium PCA occurs naturally in human skin cells. Ours is derived from a rare plant amino acid, proline. It is a hydrating agent with excellent skin penetration and humectant properties and will leave your skin noticeably plumper. It is non-sensitizing and non-comedogenic, as well!

Ferments are full of probiotics, vitamins, and minerals that the ferment process has made bio-available. They balance the skin's biome allowing it to resist environmental stress, stay hydrated, and recover quickly.

Aloe is cooling, soothing, and moisturizing. It is also full of skin-rejuvenating enzymes and amino acids.

Rose is known to soothe irritated and dry skin. It has anti-aging properties that can reduce the appearance of wrinkles and thread veins. It is also a humectant - drawing hydration into the skin.

Chamomile soothes, promotes relaxation, and can be helpful with mild skin irritation.

Calendula has been used traditionally to heal inflamed, damaged or irritated skin. It is a known antifungal and antimicrobial.

ADDENDUM
I work hard to formulate and craft the finest products I can for you. This means ethically sourcing my ingredients, reducing my carbon footprint, and making sure my packaging is as recyclable as possible. I grow as many of the herbs that I craft with as I can, with the constant goal of 100% garden-grown. I source locally what I cannot yet produce myself. I am working to phase essential oils out of my products in favor of whole-plant infusions wherever possible. My preservative blend for my aqueous products is both good for your skin and good for the planet. No parabens, petrochemicals, or formaldehyde-releasers here!

Please remember that all of my products are crafted by hand in small batches in my workroom. I follow standard sanitation procedures, but this is an environment that does contain gluten, nuts, a variety of plant/nut oils, and an abundance of both fresh and dried plant matter. Always patch test a new product, even if you are familiar with every ingredient. Allergies can appear overnight.
