A high-performing daytime oil that cushions, brightens, and defends skin against the visible effects of environmental and photo-induced stress.

Ingredient Research

Synoxyl® AZ (Acetyl Zingerone)

What it is:
A multi-target antioxidant molecule (acetyl zingerone) inspired by the ginger metabolite zingerone. Formulated for microbiome-friendly, 24/7 support against the visible effects of environmental and photo-induced stress. We formulate with the Synoxyl® AZ grade for consistency and stability.

What the research says:
In clinical studies on the ingredient, Synoxyl® AZ delivered >25% reductions in wrinkle severity/volume and pigment intensity in 4 weeks vs placebo. It also maintained microbiome diversity (including a >20% increase in Staph. epidermidis) and reduced UV-challenge redness by ~40% in study conditions.

What this means for you:
In your morning ritual, Synoxyl® AZ helps support daytime defence and post-exposure calm and recovery, so skin can look smoother, more even, and less reactive-looking over time. AZ is not a sunscreen; always pair with SPF.

HydraSynol® DOI (Isosorbide Dicaprylate)

What it is:
A lipophilic “smart” skin hydrator and barrier builder that helps redistribute moisture where it’s needed. We formulate with the HydraSynol® DOI grade for consistency and stability.

What the research says:
In clinical studies on the ingredient, HydraSynol® DOI provided long-lasting hydration (reported >48 hours) and helped maintain hydration even after a regression period. In vitro data indicate up-regulation of markers linked to barrier function (e.g., Aquaporin-3, tight-junction and desmosomal proteins), supporting improved water movement and cohesion in the outer skin layers.

What this means for you:
Within a circadian routine, HydraSynol® DOI helps skin feel cushioned and comfortable throughout the day and supports overnight moisture resilience. Use under SPF by day (in Shield) to keep dryness and “tight” feel at bay and leave skin looking supple and well-nourished.

Real Results from Real Clients

"I just wanted to say how amazing the face oils are. I have pretty sensitive skin and recently had a reactive patch on my forehead. After using the face oils for two weeks, my skin feels more comfortable and looks less red. I also love the names and rituals—Shield in the day reminds me I’m safe and protected; Retreat at night reminds me to be gentle with myself. Thank you for the amazing skincare!”

— Nicole N.

How to use

In the morning, warm 2–3 drops between your palms and press Shield over Replenish (and/or moisturiser). Smooth over face, neck, and décolletage. Let it settle, then finish with SPF. For extra comfort, add one drop to mid-day touch-ups on dry areas.

Daylight defence, soft glow

multi-antioxidant support + barrier lipids for a calm, luminous finish

Synoxyl® AZ (Acetyl Zingerone)

A multi-target antioxidant selected for daytime steadiness. Ingredient-level studies report improvements in the appearance of wrinkle volume/severity and uneven pigmentation within 4 weeks, plus reduced redness in a UV-challenge setting. In your routine, it helps defend against everyday oxidative stress and supports a smoother, more even-looking complexion through the day. (Not a sunscreen; always pair with SPF.)

HydraSynol® DOI (Isosorbide Dicaprylate)

A “smart” hydrator that supports the feel of a strong barrier and helps keep moisture where you need it. Chosen to maintain a cushioned, supple look from morning into evening without heaviness.

Red Raspberry Seed & Buriti Oils

Naturally rich in tocopherols and carotenoids that support a more resilient, radiant look during daytime exposure. They lend a quiet brightness while keeping the finish comfortable and breathable.

Squalane (olive-derived)

A feather-light lipid that mimics skin’s own surface oils to lock in moisture and soften rough spots. Layers cleanly under SPF and makeup so glow reads polished, not greasy.

Pomegranate & Seabuckthorn Fruit CO₂ Extracts

Concentrated, CO₂-extracted botanicals chosen for their antioxidant profile. They help skin look less fatigued by late afternoon and keep luminosity feeling steady over time.

Jojoba Oil

Skin-compatible wax esters that balance without clogging. Helps seal in your serum step and resist midday dryness, leaving a silky, even canvas.

Yuzu • Neroli • Rose Geranium • Lavender

A bright-soft aromatic accord to mark the start of day. Uplifting without overpowering. The scent is there to support ritual and ease. No synthetic fragrance.

I wanted a face oil I could use in the morning without feeling shiny. Two drops of Shield over my serum, then SPF, and I’m set. My skin looks more even and makeup goes on smoother.

— Ilana M.

My cheeks generally get dry and red by lunchtime. This face oil keeps them comfortable, and I notice less midday tightness. It sits nicely under sunscreen. Some days I need to add another drop at lunchtime to boost the moisture, as I have pretty dry and sensitive skin. I’m happy so far with this oil.

— Vanessa G.

I work outdoors a lot. Shield helps protecting my skin, besides leaving a soft glow that doesn’t feel heavy. My skin looks calmer at the end of the day.

— Bree A

I was worried about oils with makeup, but this actually helps. It’s a silky and light oil. I feel my skin is more hydrated and my tone looks a bit more even. I’ve been using it for 5 weeks now, and I’m happy so far. I might try the other products too.
