From Field, Garden, and Forest
Many years ago, we created an eye cream that developed a devoted following. We loved its soothing, nourishing feel and the way it cared for the delicate skin around the eyes. Yet despite our affection for the formula, there were aspects we could never fully resolve. It lacked the stability we needed to confidently bring it to you again and again. So, reluctantly, we let it go.
But we never stopped thinking about it.
Over the years, we returned often to our old formulation notes, asking ourselves what worked, what didn't, and what might be possible with the ingredients, extraction methods, and botanical innovations available to us today. Eventually, we pulled that beloved recipe from the shelf and began the process of reimagining it.
Reishi Green Tea Eye Cream is the result.
It carries the spirit of the original formula we loved, but with a new generation of botanical actives, in-house extracts, and improved structure that allows the cream to perform beautifully while remaining true to our philosophy.
Over time, the delicate skin surrounding the eyes begins to tell its own story. Like all of our formulas, this eye cream begins with the plants themselves.
Many of the botanical extracts and infusions are prepared in-house using herbs grown by our regenerative organic farm stewards at Oshala Farm. Through slow infusions, tinctures, extracts, and ferments, we work to preserve the character of each plant and bring its fullest expression into the finished formula.
Three allies gathered from field, garden, and forest.
Cornflowers by Clive Nichols
Cornflower blooms like scattered blue stars among fields. For generations, herbalists have turned to this cooling flower to comfort tired, puffy, and delicate eyes. Gentle enough for even sensitive skin, cornflower has long been associated with clarity, calm, and restoration.
From the garden comes green tea, an ancient plant revered for centuries as a tonic for vitality and resilience. Rich in protective antioxidants, green tea helps defend the skin against the visible effects of environmental stress. Our green tea extract is prepared in-house from regeneratively grown leaves sourced from Oshala Farm, carrying with it both the intelligence of the plant and the vitality of the soil from which it came.

Deep within the forest, reishi mushroom emerges from fallen wood, growing slowly and patiently. Known as the "mushroom of longevity," reishi has been treasured for centuries as a symbol of endurance, balance, and renewal. In this formula, a reishi-derived mushroom peptide helps support smooth, supple-looking skin and a visibly rested appearance.
Their benefits are carried in a nourishing cushion of plant oils and butters chosen for their affinity with the skin. Combined with niacinamide, they help support a stronger-looking barrier, lasting hydration, and a smoother, more rested appearance.
The result is a rich yet delicate eye cream that melts effortlessly into the skin, enveloping the eye area in lasting moisture and comfort.
More than a new formula, Reishi Green Tea Eye Cream is a return to an idea we weren't ready to abandon. It is a reflection of what we've learned through years of formulation, stewardship, and listening closely to the plants themselves.
