Active Ingredients and Their Benefits
FAQs
Why do I need to shake it before use?
Because we avoid harsh synthetic emulsifiers, the formula naturally rests in two layers: a water-based botanical layer and a ghee-based nourishment layer. Giving the bottle a gentle shake "activates" the elixir, marrying these two worlds so your skin receives a perfectly balanced dose of hydration and lipids in every drop.
How do I use it for the best "Shvéta Glow"?
Apply 2–3 drops to freshly cleansed, slightly damp skin. Massage in upward strokes to boost circulation and help the Hyaluronic Acid pull moisture deeper into the skin. Use it morning and night—it’s light enough to wear under makeup and potent enough to act as an overnight repair treatment.
How long will one bottle last me?
With twice-daily use, one bottle is designed to last 3 months. The formula is highly concentrated, so a few drops are all you need to cover the face and neck.
Do I really need to patch test first?
While our formula is crafted with gentle, skin-loving botanicals, we always recommend a patch test—especially if you have a history of reactive skin. Apply a drop behind your ear or on your inner wrist and wait 24 hours to ensure your skin is as in love with the elixir as we are!
Is it suitable for my skin type, even if I’m oily or sensitive?
Yes. This serum is designed to be universally gentle. It delivers essential fatty acids that actually help balance oily skin, while the Rose and Bisabolol calm redness in reactive skin. It is non-comedogenic, meaning it provides a dewy finish without clogging pores.
What exactly does this two-phase serum do for my skin?
This isn’t just a serum; it’s a skin ritual in a bottle. The dual-phase formula combines the deep nourishment of Ghee with the calming, toning properties of Rose. By blending Bakuchiol (a natural retinol alternative) and Hyaluronic Acid, it works to hydrate, brighten, and visibly smooth fine lines. It supports a healthy skin barrier while promoting a soft, radiant glow—giving you "lifted" and dewy skin without the heavy weight of traditional oils.
Can I use this serum if I’m pregnant or breastfeeding?
Because we use Bakuchiol (a plant-based alternative) instead of traditional Retinol, our elixir is a popular choice for those looking for aging support without the safety concerns or irritation of Vitamin A derivatives.
[Note: We always suggest checking with your doctor before starting new products during pregnancy.]
Does this serum make my skin sensitive to the sun?
Unlike traditional Retinol, Bakuchiol does not increase sun sensitivity. However, to maintain the brightening results and protect your new glow, we always recommend pairing it with our Daily Mineral SPF every morning.
Is this a serum or a face oil? Do I still need a moisturizer?
It’s a hybrid! The water-phase acts as a hydrating serum, while the ghee-phase acts as a nourishing oil. For oily or combination skin, this elixir is often enough on its own. If you have very dry skin, you can layer your favorite cream on top to "lock in" the elixir’s nutrients.
