Tea Leaf & Tsubaki ~ Brightening Face Serum

Launching February 15, 2024! Full-size bottles (30 ml) may be purchased at a special pre-launch price and will ship just in time for spring.

This light-as-silk balancing oil serum brightens and evens skin tone with antioxidant Vitamin C and green tea leaf in a cocktail of oils scented with orange blossoms. Pore-refining Tsubaki oil (Japanese camellia) and cucumber seed oil help to balance sebum while daikon and shiso soften, leaving a velvety veil of moisture that's ideal for oily and combination skin – or any skin type that prefers an ultra-light dry oil.

Mini (10 ml) coming soon!

The Magic

~ 5% THD Ascorbate (Vitamin C)
A powerful yet gentle form of Vitamin C for everyday use. It's brightening, antioxidant and supports collagen formation. Though sunscreen is always a good idea, this type of Vitamin C will not make your skin more sensitive in the sun.

~ Tsubaki Oil
From the seeds of the winter-blooming camellia flower comes a beauty oil cherished in Japan for centuries. Cold-pressed Japanese camellia oil (Tsubaki), delivers Vitamins A, B, D and E, emollience, and antioxidants while tightening pores and balancing sebum.

~ Green Tea Leaf
From its luscious green colour to its fresh scent, green tea leaf extract brings antioxidants and enhanced emollience.

~ Cucumber Seed Oil
Light and refreshing yet deeply moisturizing, cold-pressed cucumber seed oil brightens skin, tightens pores, and helps to reduce puffiness.

~ Ceramide NP
Ceramides are the 'mortar' between skin cells that naturally form its protective barrier. They decrease with age and in compromised skin so a small amount of Ceramide NP is here to help support the skin barrier.

~ Neroli & Orange Blossom
Juicy, fresh, floral and seductive – the scent of natural orange blossoms is euphoric. Plus, neroli essential oil brings skin-balancing properties.

The Ritual

Apply 2-5 drops to face and décolleté, morning and/or night, as a one-step treatment and moisturizer. If desired, apply to damp skin for light emulsification and added hydration – massage and pat into skin until water and serum have combined and absorbed, then lock it in with another drop or two of serum. If using a day or night cream, apply serum as the final step.
