Hero ingredients

Frankincense resin

Frankincense and its active compound, boswellic acid, are both renowned for their skin benefits. Boswellic acid has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, helping to reduce redness, irritation, and puffiness. It also supports collagen production, which can improve skin elasticity and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

seabuckthorn

seabuckthorn fruit

Seabuckthorn fruit oil is a nutrient-dense botanical oil packed with antioxidants, including vitamins C and E, as well as rare omega-7 fatty acids. It deeply nourishes and repairs the skin, promoting elasticity, hydration, and accelerated healing of damaged or irritated skin. Known for its vibrant orange hue, it also helps combat inflammation, reduce signs of aging, and restore a radiant, healthy glow.

dang gui

angelica root

Angelica root, commonly known as Dang Gui, is a revered herb in traditional Chinese medicine known for its skin-nourishing and rejuvenating properties. Rich in phytonutrients and antioxidants, it helps stimulate blood circulation, which can enhance skin vitality and promote a healthy, even complexion.

goji berry

goji berry

Goji Berry is rich in beta-carotene, helping protect the skin from oxidative stress and premature aging. It supports collagen production, enhances skin hydration, and improves overall skin tone and elasticity. With its anti-inflammatory and nourishing properties, goji berry helps soothe the skin, reduce redness, and promote a radiant, healthy glow.

So nourishing & smoothe

I’ve only been using Illuminate for a couple of weeks but am loving the rich consistency, subtle hints of the plant infusions but mainly knowing the cleanse sod the Tallow & Jojoba is supporting my almost 50 year old skin

So soft

I've previously used whipped tallow which I found greasy but this goes on smoothly and seems to penetrate into my skin without the greasy feel. Fave been using for just over 1 week and seems to be making a difference.

I've been using the products for a few days now and I quite like them. They're not as greasy as I thought they'd be, but I'll still have to put a darker pillow slip on as it does transfer on the pillow.
I can't comment if my skin has changed as its still early days, but I can't wait to see if there will be any noticable differences.
I do think a little more fragrance would be good though.
