Golden Serum

How to use?
The Golden Serum is an ideal first layer for your skincare routine. It’s like a multi-vitamin for the skin. It can be used on it’s own, or combined with other products. My favorite combo is a spritz of the lavender or rose face mist, some serum, and then applying some Skin Fluff or Skin Butter. 

How much to use? 
Apply Elixir to clean damp skin. Add 2-3 drops of oil to each cheek and 2 drops to your forehead, then spread it evenly into your skin. Start with less, apply more as you wish.

When to use it? 
This serum can be used at any time of day, whenever you feel like your skin needs it.

The Golden Serum has an elegant and gentle aroma which comes from linden blossom absolute, (one of the most lovely smelling tree blossoms), and cold-pressed cucumber seed oil (we used this oil for it's skin benefits, but it also happens to smell straight up like a cucumber.) The aroma of this serum is lightly floral, green, and gently cooling.

Every ingredient within has a purpose — and some of them are pretty incredible.

Broccoli seed oil is packed with sulforaphane, which has been shown in studies to help reverse UV damage in skin cells. It also acts kind of like a natural silicone, giving that smooth, silky feel — but it's totally breathable and clean.

Sea buckthorn oil is another favorite — it’s one of the only plant oils that contains omega-7, which helps support your skin’s ability to heal and regenerate. Super helpful if your skin’s been through it — dry weather, breakouts, too much sun, whatever.

Then there’s acai berry oil, full of antioxidants like anthocyanins that actually help protect your collagen from pollution and stress. It also has a pleasant fruity aroma. :)

Cucumber seed oil is what gives this serum that extra fresh, light feel. It’s cooling and super soothing, especially when skin’s feeling red or sensitive. Abyssinian oil is in there too — it’s similar to our skin’s natural oils, so it sinks in fast and helps keep everything balanced.

There’s also the very special and rare algae oil which provides powerful marine-derived omegas that reduce transepidermal water loss and visibly improve skin texture over time.

Then we have squalane, an super lightweight, powerful ingredient derived from olive oil. Squalane is one of those under-the-radar ingredients that does so much. It’s a stable, lightweight oil that mimics your skin’s natural sebum, which means your skin just recognizes it and drinks it up. It helps strengthen the skin barrier, smooth texture, and lock in moisture without feeling heavy or clogging pores. What’s wild is that it also has antioxidant properties — it helps protect against lipid peroxidation, which is a fancy way of saying it shields your skin’s natural oils from breaking down due to sun and pollution. Basically, it helps skin stay balanced, plump, and resilient.

Camellia tea seed oil, which is amazing for repairing the skin barrier without making you feel oily. And to round it out: aloe vera extract for instant soothing, passion flower oil to calm things down, and linden blossom absolute because honestly, it just smells beautiful.
