The Water Balm
Most balms coat. This one quenches. A cushiony cream that melts on contact and disappears into skin, leaving the richness behind and the grease out of it. Inside: twelve peptides, three ceramides, bakuchiol, and paracress. The nourishment of a balm, light enough for combination skin.
Directions
After cleansing and toning, apply a small pea-sized scoop and massage onto face and neck. Add more as needed. Can be used day and night.

Rich where it counts. Weightless where it shows.

An oil-and-wax balm sits on the surface. The Water Balm is built to break and absorb on contact.
Oil and wax
Breaks on contact
Twelve peptides. Three ceramides. One jar.
A concentrate, not a cream with a sprinkle. Each family below was chosen to do one job.
Twelve Peptides
Signal peptides, carrier peptides, and neuro-peptides working together to support firmer, smoother-looking skin. Most creams carry one or two. This is a full complex. Copper Tripeptide-1, Acetyl Hexapeptide-8, Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1, Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7, Acetyl Tetrapeptide-5, Tripeptide-32, Hexapeptide-9, Acetyl Tetrapeptide-2, Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5, Nonapeptide-1, Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4, Tripeptide-1.
The Ceramide Trio
Three skin-identical ceramides and phytosphingosine, the building blocks of a resilient moisture barrier. They help skin hold water and look calm, which is what lets twelve peptides feel comfortable on daily wear.
Bakuchiol + Paracress
Bakuchiol offers retinol-like smoothing on texture, tone, and fine lines without the harshness. Paracress (acmella) extract helps visibly soften expression lines. Renewal gentle enough for every day.
Hyaluronic Acid + Panthenol
Sodium hyaluronate pulls water into the upper layers for an immediate plump; provitamin B5 holds it there and soothes. This pair is why the texture reads as water, not oil.
The Botanicals
Prickly pear seed oil and jojoba for skin-compatible nourishment that absorbs instead of sitting; centella asiatica and bisabolol to keep stressed, sensitive skin comfortable.
A pea, day and night.
After cleansing and toning. Add more only if skin asks for it.
Under makeup
A pea-sized scoop, warmed between fingertips and pressed into face and neck. It vanishes in under a minute and gives foundation a smooth, hydrated base.
Over serum
Apply over your serum while skin is still slightly damp from The Balance Effect. Peptides and bakuchiol do their best work overnight.
Layer a second pea
Cheeks, around the nose, the neck in winter. A second thin layer where skin is thirstiest, without greasing the rest of your face.
“The rich cream melts into the skin and gives you that burst of hydration without leaving any tacky residue. My skin feels quenched, smooth, and comfortable for hours. I have very sensitive skin and it hasn’t irritated it at all.”
