Ambient Moisture Liquid

Live Botanical

A multidimensional moisture serum to hydrate, soothe, firm, and strengthen the lipid barrier function in one step.

Starting with a phytonutrient-rich aqueous infusion created from local, fresh herbs balanced with a ceramide complex, antioxidant dense fruit seed oils, emollient mango butter, and phospholipids to provide luminous, vibrant skin.

This lightweight formula is suitable for most skin types - Sensitive, Oily, Combination & Dry.

The scent has a delicate berry, herbal, and/or neutral aroma without the use of essential oils.

Serum-like effects in a lightweight moisturizer. Each herb and ingredient work together to impart vitality and a soft dewy canvas.

• Gotu Kola pairs well with ceramides, hyaluronic acid, and emollient herbs to improve lipid barrier function for better hydration management. Keeping skin fresh and healthy.
• Broadleaf plantain is a humble and abundant plant ally. Loved by herbalists for its skin-supporting benefits. In daily skincare, it works to restore the skin from frequent environmental stress like UV rays and pollution. Plantago major and aloe mixture has been shown to improve wound healing by enhancing fibroblast proliferation, collagen bundle synthesis, and re-vascularization in skin injuries.
• Horse Chestnut improves peripheral circulation to strengthen and heal connective tissue. This also supports dark under-eye circles.
• Red clover, rich in isoflavones works alongside the soy extract and ceramides to help stimulate the synthesis of hyaluronic acid and improves skin firmness.
• Self-heal - a natural form of ursolic acid has been used to support photo-aged skin through actions of restoring the skin's collagen bundle structures and elasticity.
• An effective array of humectants ranging from Marshmallow, Linden Flower, Aloe, and Hyaluronic Acid help saturate the skin with moisture to soften and plump the appearance of lines.
• Phytoceramides are coupled with fatty acids and sterols naturally derived from Soybean seeds in an ideal ratio (3:1:1 - ceramides: sterols: essential fatty acids) to optimize the functionality of the skin-strengthening benefits. 
• Lightweight, high linoleic acid fruit seed oils like strawberry, cranberry, and raspberry prevent congestion and rejuvenate the skin with complex, protective antioxidant profiles.
• Mango butter, a nutrient-dense emollient to help soften the skin and reduce transdermal water loss for long-term moisturization.
• Rice bran oil is a natural source of ceramides, peptides, ferulic acid, CoQ10, vitamin A, 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.
• A deliberate, mindful approach to an emulsification system using phospholipids (lecithin) and plant-derived Polyglyceryl Oleate to ensure structural integrity while improving absorption of key phytonutrients and compounds to benefit the skin. This helps bind water within oil molecules to effectively moisturize the skin throughout the day.
• Polyglycerol esters are non-irritating, as they do not cause any denaturing of the skin’s proteins.
• Preserved with Gluconolactone, a polyhydroxy acid (PHA), doubles as a functional, very mild, sun-safe refining ingredient to lighten scarring and improve overall texture.
