Our Calming Duo is one of our team-favorites, and also one of our most universal pairings. Most major skin imbalances fall into the category of oil imbalance (oily/dry/combination), or an excessive of heat (troubled, irritated, sensitive, reactive).

Rosehip Calming Serum is our favorite choice for skin that is scarred, hyperpigmented, sun-damaged, reactive, irritated, red, or sensitive. With its naturally occurring abundance of trans-retinoic acid (precursor to authentic Vitamin A), carotenoids, lycopene, and essential fatty acids, rosehip seed oil is one of the most rejuvenating, restorative and transformative oils on the planet. Paired with german chamomile, immortelle, lavender, and carrot seed essential oils, the deep restoration is amplified exponentially.

In addition to being extremely hydrating, our refreshing Lavender HydroSoul is profoundly cooling, calming, and soothing. It is our first choice for hot, irritated, and reactive skin. Its sweet scent is herbaceous and honeyed.

This duo supports cool, tranquil peace in all skin.

Oil + Water: By using Oil and Water we support and mimic the skin's protective hydrolipid barrier. This simple pairing realigns our skin with its own innate rhythm, supports the skin's own natural defenses, enhances the skin's ability to detoxify, and encourages the skin's own moisturizing and hydration strategy. When layered together oils hold the waters to the skin, while waters anchor the moisture from the oils more deeply. This pairing is a perfect delivery system for nutrients. Essential fatty acids, antioxidants and both water-soluble and fat-soluble phytonutrients are delivered and completely bioavailable in this form. Most people who apply a twice daily application of their Oil Serum and HydroSoul find that this simple pairing provides enough moisture and hydration so that they need nothing else for their skin to feel properly hydrated and moisturized.
