SKINCARE BENEFITS

What does it do?

Defend and repair your skin with this lightweight, antioxidant-rich serum formulated to protect against pollution, oxidative stress, and blue light damage — while restoring calm to sensitive, reactive skin. It strengthens the barrier, neutralizes free radicals, and replenishes hydration to keep your complexion balanced, smooth, and resilient.

Infused with New Zealand Pohutukawa and a synergy of Green Tea and Moringa Oils, it provides daily urban protection while calming redness and irritation. Niacinamide, Beta-Glucan, and Plant-Derived Ceramides reinforce barrier strength and elasticity, while CoQ10 and N-Acetyl Glucosamine help boost radiance and protect collagen.

Perfect for those living in cities or exposed to environmental stress, this serum delivers a breathable layer of defense — leaving skin hydrated, calm, and luminous.

Key Premium Actives: In Depth

  • Pohutukawa, a native botanical of New Zealand, has anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial properties. It helps to soothe, condition and calm irritated or inflamed skin. And helps address certain skin concerns related to bacteria.
  • Moringa Oil is a nutrient-rich botanical packed with antioxidants and essential fatty acids that protect skin from pollution-induced oxidative stress. Its lightweight, fast-absorbing texture mimics the skin’s natural lipids to lock in moisture and strengthen the barrier. Naturally anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial, it helps soothe sensitive or reactive skin exposed to urban pollutants. With regular use, it supports a brighter, more resilient complexion and helps skin recover from dullness and environmental damage.
  • Green Tea Oil is a powerful antioxidant-rich botanical that defends skin from pollution, UV damage, and environmental stress. Its soothing properties help calm redness, irritation, and inflammation, making it ideal for sensitive or acne-prone skin. Lightweight and non-greasy, it balances oil production, keeps pores clear, and strengthens the skin barrier to prevent dryness. Over time, it improves elasticity and radiance, leaving skin smooth, resilient, and glowing.
  • Glycosphingolipids - plant-derived ceramide that mimic the skin’s natural ceramides to strengthen the barrier, lock in moisture, and reduce sensitivity. They help restore balance to stressed or dehydrated skin, keeping it smooth, supple, and resilient.
  • Beta-Glucan - a humectant and barrier-repair active derived from yeast cell walls, known for binding water, calming redness, and helping strengthen the skin’s natural defenses.
  • Niacinamide - aids mature and sun damaged skin by improving its texture and moisture. It also aids in reducing red blotchiness and the severity of fine lines. It stimulates collagen production and the production of ceramide.
  • Panthenol is a powerhouse ingredient known for its deep hydration, soothing properties, and ability to support skin repair. It helps calm irritation, reduce redness, and improve skin barrier function.
  • N-Acetyl Glucosamine (NAG) reduces hyperpigmentation, increases collagen production, moisture content and elasticity of the skin and increases the speed of wound healing. Derived from the shells of crustaceans.
