The ScienceBehind the Ritual

Kakadu Plum

At the heart of our Day Cream is Kakadu Plum — the world's richest natural source of Vitamin C, containing 55 times more than oranges. Harvested sustainably from Australia's Northern Territory by indigenous communities, this remarkable fruit has been used in traditional medicine for thousands of years.

Vitamin C is essential for collagen synthesis, the protein responsible for skin's firmness and elasticity. By delivering it in its most potent natural form, Kakadu Plum helps brighten dull complexions, fade hyperpigmentation, and protect against environmental stressors that accelerate ageing.

We chose Kakadu Plum over synthetic Vitamin C because the whole-fruit extract contains co-factors — natural compounds that enhance absorption and efficacy far beyond what isolated ascorbic acid can achieve alone.

“A single Kakadu Plum contains more Vitamin C than an entire bag of oranges — nature's most powerful brightening agent.”

Hyaluronic Acid

Our Day Cream uses a triple-weight Hyaluronic Acid complex — low, medium, and high molecular weights working in concert. The smallest molecules penetrate deep into the dermis, the medium molecules plump the mid-layers, and the larger molecules form a moisture-locking film on the surface.

A single gram of Hyaluronic Acid can hold up to six litres of water, yet it never leaves skin feeling heavy or greasy. This makes it the ideal hydration partner for a day cream — delivering intense moisture that sits beautifully under makeup.

“One gram holds six litres of water. Triple-weight molecules hydrate every layer of your skin simultaneously.”

Jojoba Oil

Jojoba isn't technically an oil — it's a liquid wax ester, molecularly identical to human sebum. This is why skin absorbs it so readily and why it never clogs pores. For our Day Cream, this means balanced hydration for every skin type, from dry to oily.

Cold-pressed from the seeds of the Simmondsia chinensis plant, our Jojoba Oil is organic and sustainably sourced. It creates a breathable protective layer that locks in moisture without interfering with the skin's natural functions.

Green Tea Extract

The catechins in Green Tea — particularly EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate) — are 100 times more potent than Vitamin C at neutralising free radicals. In our Day Cream, this translates to serious environmental defence throughout your day.

Beyond its antioxidant power, Green Tea Extract calms inflammation, reduces redness, and has been shown in clinical studies to protect against UV-induced DNA damage. It's the silent guardian working behind the scenes of your morning routine.

“Catechins in Green Tea are 100x more potent than Vitamin C at fighting free radicals.”

Squalane

Our Squalane is 100% plant-derived from sugarcane — never from sharks. This lightweight emollient reinforces the skin's moisture barrier, softens texture, and creates the perfect canvas for the active ingredients in our Day Cream to work.

Squalane is naturally present in human skin but declines with age. By replenishing it topically, we help restore the suppleness and resilience your skin had in its youth, without any heaviness or greasiness.
