1.7oz l 50ml

A simple yet effective hydrating blend of just four ingredients. Mild enough for the most sensitive, reactive skin. Initially designed for oily to combination skin types though mildly dry skin types can reap the benefits when used as a micro-emulsion with their facial oil.

KEY BIOACTIVES:

We custom blend a mix of different hyaluronic acid molecular weights to optimize the skin's ability to hold water for a fresh complexion. The formula is enhanced with cold-processed aloe vera and fresh distilled green tea hydrosol to clear and soothe inflammation and acne.

The cushioning effect optically smooths the skin and makes a nice addition to prime your skin before applying makeup.

INGREDIENTS:

aloe barbadensis (aloe vera) juice*^, camellia sinensis (green tea) hydrosol*^, lactobacillus ferment and sodium hyaluronate (vegan)

*organic   |   ^regionally sourced

HOW TO USE:

After cleansing apply 1-2 pumps to damp or wet skin.  While damp apply a small amount of facial oil to soothe inflammation. 

If you have dry skin, add a pump of hyaluronic acid to a couple of drops of face oil to your palm and create a micro-emulsion.  Massage together onto the skin.  Follow up with another layer of just facial oil to lock in the hydration.

For an alternative use: to help the absorption of your facial oil and give a more matte effect, add the serum under and a second layer on top of your facial oil. This is especially helpful for day use underneath makeup.

Collectively the formula supports collagen production and common skin concerns around fine lines, scarring, and discoloration.

Squalane acts as a protective barrier to soften the appearance of fine lines. It absorbs quickly to provide a velvety finish. Our luxe version is extracted from sustainable amaranthus grain, which is one of the highest and most abundant sources of plant-based squalane.

Ceramides plus pomegranate sterols (cholesterol) create a unique complex (3:1:1:1) along with essential & non-essential fatty acids that mirror our natural skin to help improve the lipid barrier matrix for enhanced protection from water loss and in turn encourages long term vitality.

Date extract has shown great promise in various studies to improve skin elasticity, increase brightness, greater hydration, and a decrease in redness and hyperpigmentation. (Meer, S.; Akhtar, N.; Mahmood, T.; Igielska-Kalwat, J. Efficacy of Phoenix dactylifera L. (Date Palm) Creams on Healthy Skin. Cosmetics 2017, 4, 13.)

Cranberry seed oil is one of the most abundant sources of polyphenols such as tocopherols and tocotrienols (Vitamin E) which improve firmness and elasticity. It has the perfect ratio of omega-3, omega-6, and omega-9 fatty acids meaning it’s better at absorption to deliver all its skin-loving properties.

Raspberry seed is rich in carotenoids and vitamin E. The antioxidant profile is especially effective at supporting concerns around UV damage and calming reactive, sun-parched and inflamed conditions.

Rice bran oil is a natural source of ceramides, peptides, ferulic acid, CoQ10, vitamins A and B, in addition to a range of antioxidants such as tocopherol, tocotrienol, and oryzanol. Together they repair lipid barrier damage and protect the skin from free radicals.

Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate (10%), a stable vitamin C derivative that is suitable for sensitive skin. Coupled with whole plant-based vitamin E and ferulic acid in the overall formula, the bioavailability is measurably increased to improve clarifying and protective benefits.

Supercritical extract of organic seaberry fruit has astringent properties to firm the skin. Extremely rich in carotenoids, a vitamin A precursor to enhance a healthy glow.

Carrot root extract and carrot oil (carrier oil not the essential oil) imparts an additional surge of flavonoids to improve overall skin rejuvenation and skin brightening.

A slow infusion of garden-grown rose, chamomile, and lavender flowers in organic, unrefined, cold-pressed raspberry and jojoba oils to create a decadent and nutritive base. The dual solvent and infusion process used provides optimal extraction of herbal compounds. Delivering powerful whole-plant nutrients to nourish and protect the skin.

The golden color from unrefined and supercritical extracted oils of rose-hip and seaberry fruit is an indication of the abundance of carotenoids, an important phytonutrient that not only provides an immediate glow but helps repair and prevents damage from UV, stress, and environmental factors. Coupled with CoQ10, the antioxidant effects are concentrated for effectiveness.

A major component of skin renewal is the ability to create collagen so a standardized extract of lupine was added to support this critical function. The Lupeol used in the formulation has been shown with in-vitro and clinical studies to firm and improve overall facial contour and firmness.

Ceramides, pomegranate sterols (cholesterol), oat Co2 extract, essential & non-essential fatty acids mirror our natural skin to help improve the lipid barrier matrix for enhanced protection from water loss and in turn encourage long term vitality.

Date extract has shown great promise in clinical studies to improve skin elasticity, increase brightness, greater hydration, and a decrease in redness and hyperpigmentation.

Raw, organic beeswax and cupuacu butter can improve elasticity and help hold moisture close to the skin. Creating a rich, yet breathable barrier preventing evaporation and enabling continued absorption of beneficial plant compounds.

INGREDIENTS:

rosa rubiginosa (rose-hip) seed oil/co2*#, theobroma grandiflorum (cupuacu) butter#, [rubus idaeus (raspberry) seed oil^ & simmondsia chinensis (jojoba) seed oil*^,& rosa sp. (rose) flower*^ & matricaria recutita (chamomile) flower*^ & lavandula angustifolia (lavender) flower*^], raw beeswax*^, [ceramide-ng & punica granatum (pomegranate) sterols & avena sativa (oat) kernel co2 extract*], [caprylic/capric triglyceride & phoenix dactylifera (date) seed extract], [helianthus annuus (sunflower) seed oil & lupinas albas (lupine) seed extract], ubiquinone (coq10), hippophae rhamnoides (seaberry) co2 extract*, eriocephalus punctulatus (cape chamomile) essential oil* and rosa damascena (rose otto) oil*

HOW TO USE:

For dry skin, use nightly year-round and during the day in dryer seasons.

The final step in your skincare ritual. Press a pea-size amount or smaller on dampened skin. Pat gently around the delicate eye area.

Enhance the experience with your favorite facial techniques, like Gua Sha or jade roller.

It also makes a lovely, decadent overnight moisture mask for normal to combination skin.

Notes: Separation sometimes can happen during heating & cooling cycles while in transit.  If this occurs, warm the balm (with the cap on) in hot water.  Once the balm melts, stir, place in fridge, and let sit until firm.

Live Botanical
3.4oz l 100ml

A serum in a mist to brighten, calm redness, and soften texture.

Locally distilled fresh roses and tulsi create an aromatic experience to soothe the skin and uplift the heart. A mindful mushroom extraction using whole fruiting bodies plus supportive plant infusions that incorporates a range of powerful phytonutrients for a radiant complexion. Rich in niacinamide to brighten, lessen the appearance of pores, smooth texture, and revitalize dull skin. Rounded out by complex antioxidants to limit UV damage, pollutants, and other environmental stressors.

Contains no essential oils, the scent is from the distilled plant water only and subtle. We find the aroma delicate and akin to spiced pears.

For those who are looking for more focused support on discoloration and hyperpigmentation, this pairs beautifully with the First Light Brightening Oil.

Suitable for most skin types including sensitive.

KEY BIOACTIVES:

Highly nutritious reishi and shiitake ferment give this formula a heavier weight mist due to the naturally occurring polysaccharides (like beta-glucans) creating a breathable, hydrating layer that draws in moisture to soothe stressed skin. The wide range of amino acids present has been shown to help with sun damage in addition to improving cellular renewal to promote elasticity and wound healing.

Niacinamide with a 5% dilution is a powerful water-soluble form of vitamin B3.  As an antioxidant, it pairs well with the white-horehound and Japanese knotweed (trans-resveratrol) herbal extracts to repair damage caused by free radicals, sun exposure, and pollution. Niacinamide has also been shown to reduce the appearance of discoloration, hyperpigmentation, and reducing redness. Along with stabilizing the skin's barrier function, such as increasing the production of ceramides, preventing loss of moisture.

Enhanced with infusions from our garden using favorite skin soothers like marshmallow & wild pansy to further increase hydration, holding water close the skin.

The inclusion of Meadowsweet adds a refining component to even out the complexion and assists follow-up layers to absorb better.

INGREDIENTS:

rosa damascena (rose) hydrosol*^, rama tulsi (ocimum tenuiflorum) hydrosol*^, lactobacillus/ganoderma lucidum (reishi mushroom) extract /lentinus edodes (shitake mushroom) extract ferment filtrate, niacinamide, spiraea ulmaria (meadowsweet) extract*^, lactobacillus ferment, distilled water & marrubium vulgare (white horehound)*^ & althaea officinalis (marshmallow)*^ & viola tricolor (wild pansy) extract*^ & sodium pca, trans-resveratrol (derived from polygonum cuspidatum/Japanese knotweed)

*organic    |   ^regionally sourced

HOW TO USE:

After cleansing, shake well and mist face, taking deep breaths. Careful not to get any into your eyes. While the skin is still wet apply serum and face oil to seal in hydration.

Using plant-based humectants can sometimes create a thicker protective film on the skin that takes a bit longer to absorb than lab-based ingredients. We find this initial tackiness helps bind your oil or balm after it’s applied to create a skin-similar layer. After a few minutes, the skin should feel smooth and hydrated.

Live Botanical
1oz l 30ml

An essential oil free balm in a rich yet breathable formula.  A moisture-locking blend filled with nutrient-dense raw butters and oils plus plant-based waxes, sterols, and phospholipids.  Working in harmony to provide sanctuary for dry, sensitive conditions.

This balm contains no added essential oils and the scent is natural and earthy. Please be aware butters have a low melting point and can melt in transit. This does not impact the product's efficacy in any way.

What sets this balm apart from others is the inclusion of unrefined oil-based phospholipids.  On a cellular level, the molecules attract and hold onto water while also organizing themselves into a structure similar to natural skin.  So when layered on damp skin, it creates an effective skin-identical layer.

It also helps improve the absorption of active ingredients and the delivery of sustained moisture throughout the day. Acting as a mild emulsifier to better incorporate water-based hydrating serums without causing harm to the lipid barrier.

KEY BIOACTIVES:

Amazonian butters of murumuru, tucuma, ucuuba and bacuri are abundant in naturally occurring inflammation modulation compounds that soothe irritated skin.  Helping to maintain elasticity, a key component to healthy skin.  Raw enzymes from the butters feed the skin to better protect against hypersensitivity while the emollients soften rough, dry patches.  If the skin is damaged, the properties help repair wounds such as sun or wind-burn.

Buriti, graviola/soursop, and carrot seed oils (not essential oils) provide a complex array of antioxidants such as flavonoids and polyphenols to protect against cellular degradation from UV and other environmental stressors.

The ceramide rich rice bran wax and protective pomegranate sterols create the seal providing the final occlusive element - preventing water loss and supporting the other ingredients to improve all-over moisture. 

INGREDIENTS:

astrocaryum murumuru butter#, astrocaryum tucuma butter#, virola sebifera (ucuuba) butter#, daucus carota stavia (carrot) seed lipid oil (not essential oil)*^, simmondsia chinensis (jojoba) wax*^, mauritia flexuosa (buriti) fruit oil#, annona Muricata (soursop - graviola) oil#, corylus avellana (hazelnut) oil*^, oryza sativa (rice) bran wax^, punica granatum (pomegranate) sterols, platonia insignis (bacuri) butter# and helianthus annuus (sunflower) seed oil* & lecithin* & cucurbita pepo (pumpkin) seed oil* & corthellus shiitake (mushroom) extract*

This balm contains no added essential oils and the scent is natural and earthy.

HOW TO USE:

Apply as the final layer in your skincare routine. For best results, ensure the skin is damp/hydrated to improve moisture function.  It can also be used as a restorative night mask by applying a thicker layer, allowing a slow absorption while you sleep. 

During warmer months or when not as dry, mix in your palm with a hydrating serum to create a day cream for a lighter application.

We find this best paired with the Ambient Moisture Liquid for increased hydration.

A temperate forest immerses the skin with moisture as you walk through trails of western red cedars and mushrooms tucked under old growth. Along the waterways, wild roses peak through the shrubbery and giant sea kelp sway in the ocean waves.

An elevated approach to provide concentrated hydration in a rich gel while supporting a balanced flora for clear, comfortable skin.

Builds resilience and rejuvenates the skin by dispersing the rich minerals and nutrients from land and sea-based botanicals. Concentrated hydration to drench parched skin.  

Snow mushroom paired with sea kelp lends a stronger, more flexible film than hyaluronic acid, creating a second-skin hydration barrier. The layering of whole plant extracts to further soothe, diminish scarring, brighten, and protect against oxidative damage. Probiotic derivatives (postbiotic) and prebiotics can calm reactivity by strengthening the microbiome.

Being essential oil free, the scent is natural with earthy, sweet notes from wild rose and red cedar hydrosols.

KEY BIOACTIVES:

One of the key hydration elements used is a COSMOS-approved biological active extracted from Snow Mushroom. An initial small clinical test using Hyaluronic Acid as the control tested better for both initial hydration and improving the skin's natural ability to hold hydration longer.

You may notice an initial tackiness due to the combination of snow mushroom, sea kelp, marshmallow, and licorice but absorbs quickly. This is actually a good thing when working with plant-based humectants as you want intact mucilage compounds. Together they create a film on the skin to bind water and work with your natural oils (or added moisturizer) to improve the barrier’s repairing and protective functions.

Once dried it leaves the skin powdery soft, with a more matte finish. For those that produce excess oil, this could be used as a moisturizer on its own. Helping to balance without stripping the skin.

The biome strengthening aspect comes from prebiotics (which many of our products have due to the type of plants we use) along with a new probiotic derivative (postbiotics). Feeding your existing biome with prebiotics where postbiotics give an opportunity to diversify the flora. In early research, this approach has been shown to help increase hydration significantly and calm inflamed skin.

INGREDIENTS:

[hydrosols of rosa sp. (wild-rose)^ & thuja plicata (western red cedar)^], lactobacillus/nereocystis luetkeana (sea kelp) ferment filtrate, lactobacillus ferment lysate, [herbal extract blend: water & tremella fuciformis sporocarp (snow mushroom) & glycyrrhiza glabra (licorice) root*^ & avena sativa (oat)*^ & camellia sinensis (green tea) leaf*^ & paeonia lactiflora pall. (peony) root* & silybum marianum (milk thistle) fruit* & althaea officinalis (marshmallow) root*^, echinacea purpurea*^ & vegetable glycerin*], raphanus sativus (radish) seed extract^, phospholipids (sunflower lecithin)*, [gluconolactone, sodium benzoate, calcium gluconate (ecocert preservative)]

note: vitamin c (ascorbic acid) is not present in the completed herbal hydrosols or extracts used in the formula and has no reaction with the sodium benzoate.

HOW TO USE:

Suitable for all skin types. After cleansing and mists, apply 1-2 pumps to damp skin. Layer under your favorite moisturizer, oil, and/or balm to seal in all the hydration. Can be used day and night.

Drawing on how the moon’s tidal force affects the rainfall on earth, this rich mask replenishes moisture with hydrating raw honey, conditioning oils, and protective butters. Elevated with a collection of nutrient-dense algae extracts and a unique may-apple ferment for an antioxidant boost while enhancing the skin's ability to hold moisture. Perfect to use anytime you want to call on the moon for additional nourishment.

We find this to be suitable for most skin types ranging from acne-prone to very dry.

The scent is sweet and warm with subtle hints of cedar and fir. Akin to forest bathing in a jar.
Bringing you to temperate rainforests that flow into the Pacific Ocean. Trails lined with wildflowers, thistles, and berries amongst towering firs as cedars dance in the wind.
Dense cloud cover and pockets of fog envelop the land with moisture. Symbolized by the cool blue color of the balm, connecting to the water element. Guiding the journey inward, marked by dark and quiet nights.

The texture is smooth like a balm with a touch of honey, adding richness.  Due to the nature of ingredients used, texture and color can vary.

KEY BIOACTIVES:

Oil derived from Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. A highly sustainable and multifunctional algal extract with skin-identical lipids including essential fatty acids, sterols, and phytoceramides.  Long-term use shows an increase in hydration where the oil is unique in its ability to increase water uptake. Improves clarity and firmness from naturally occurring compounds that promote cellular renewal and proliferation.

A unique bio-fermented May-Apple extract is shown in clinical studies to increase sirtuin. These proteins influence aging and stress resistance by allowing cells to survive damage while improving cellular longevity. This particular extraction is 7x more effective than trans-resveratrol.

A stunning and potent Schisandra Co2 extract. Also referred to Wu-Wei-Zi in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).  Based on the Five-Element theory in TCM, the berry contains all the "five tastes".  This unique action is used as an overall tonic for vitality, lending itself to encourage harmony and balance.  In early topical research, provides a strong bio-available synthesis to help with stress responses and supports resilience, suppleness, and firmness.

Honey is one of the most versatile ingredients, it covers all the major skincare requirements. A humectant that balances hydration by either increasing moisture or absorbing excess oil. Contains key minerals, vitamins, antioxidants to restore vitality to the skin. Acts as a mild AHA; gluconic acid to gently refine and brighten the complexion. Naturally anti-septic to support breakouts and congestion.

Milk Thistle Seed Oil is known in skincare for the seed-derived antioxidant silymarin.  Research shows the ability to balance oil production, which allows this mask to be used by those who are also acne-prone.  As with many antioxidant-rich plants, it reduces ultraviolet radiation, pollution, and cellular damage.

Oregon (where Live Botanical is located) is known for being one of the largest growers of hazelnuts (aka filberts).  We source a gorgeous local oil from a small grower who is passionate about land and soil health.  Hazlenut Oil works alongside the milk thistle oil to harmonize the lipid barrier while firming the skin and improving overall clarity.

Douglas Fir, Port Orford Cedar and Himalayan Cedar are added below 0.5% dilution for gentle aromatherapy to help ground and calm the mind. Topically they are clarifying and with small amounts and especially in rinse off formulas like mask are generally safe for sensitive skin.

INGREDIENTS:

corylus avellana (hazelnut) seed oil*^, silybum marianum (milk thistle) seed oil*, raw honey*^, raw beeswax*^, persea gratissima (avocado) butter*^, helianthus annuus (sunflower) seed oil & saccharomyces/podophyllum peltatum (mayapple) ferment filtrate, chlamydomonas reinhardtii extract, schisandra chinensis fruit co2 extract*, spirulina platensis & arthrospira platensis *, ricinus communis (castor) seed oil*, lecithin (sunflower derived)*^, chamaecyparis lawsoniana (port orford) wood extract^+, pseudotsuga menziesii (douglas fir) oil^, cedrus deodora (himalayan) wood oil, rosmarinus officinalis (rosemary) leaf extract*

+Our Port Orford cedar is made by a very small artisan/hobby distiller who works with only plant matter that is part of land management in order to protect groves.  This is an overharvested tree and we take great care in responsible sourcing to ensure the environment or people are not being exploited.

HOW TO USE:

Conditioning Option 1: Scoop a small amount of balm and massage onto wet skin. Let the mask set and perform a tapping motion with your fingertips to activate circulation for a few minutes. Let sit for 20 minutes or longer.

Hydrating Option 2: Scoop a small amount in palm or bowl and sprinkle in a little water to create a light blue cream. Apply a thick layer, allowing it to absorb for 10 minutes or longer.

Both options: Wipe off gently with a damp cloth, remove the honey, and leave the protective oils.
