FOR SKIN THAT WANTS HYDRATION... LOTS OF IT!
Designed for menopausal or perimenopausal skin that needs hydration.
Hormonal changes can affect how your skin looks, feels and behaves. It might feel drier than usual, become oilier or more sensitive, or feel hot and flushed...
That’s why we created Ceramide Gel Moisturiser:
✔️ Delivers deep hydration without feeling heavy on the skin
✔️ Cooling sensation on contact leaving the skin feeling soothed
✔️ Helps keep face & neck firm and supports the skin barrier
HOW DOES IT WORK?
ENCAPSULATED CERAMIDES
Loose ceramides break down the moment a formula is opened. Ours don't. Ceramide NP is sealed inside tiny lipid parcels, protected until it reaches your skin barrier, where it releases gradually for HOURS.
9 HYDRATING INGREDIENTS AT 3 DIFFERENT LEVELS.
On the surface: Glycerin and eight other water-loving ingredients pull hydration into the top layer of skin.
Paired with upcycled maca peptides, it works from underneath while the gel itself stays weightless and cool on top.

THE UPCYCLED HEROES✨
Rescued from wild bilberries after their colour is extracted. Rich in omega fats, it melts into skin, leaving it soft, smooth and never greasy.
Traceably grown in Peru, then sealed inside its own protective shell. Released slowly underneath the surface, for comfort that keeps working hour after hour.
What's left behind after sugar is made becomes something skin can't get enough of. Myo-inositol helps skin hold onto its own hydration, keeping it plump, comfortable and never sticky.
Hydrates Instantly. Cools skin. Wears Under Anything.
✔️COOLS SKIN UPON APPLICATION
Calms flushed and overheated skin almost instantly, no sting, no fragrance or menthol.
✔️ HYDRATES INSTANTLY WITHOUT ADDED WEIGHT
Skin stays comfortable and hydrated for hours, thanks to our encapsulated ceramides, never greasy, never heavy like a cream.
✔️ DISAPPEARS UNDER MAKEUP AND SPF
There's no heavy oil base to leave residue, and the hydrating ingredients bind into your skin instead of sitting on top, so makeup has nothing to grab onto.

ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW
We’re here to help!
Can I wear it under SPF or makeup?
Yes, it's designed to sit under both without pilling or sliding.
How do I use it?
Morning and evening, on clean dry skin, massaged into face and neck.
What's upcycled in this formula?
Bilberry seed oil rescued after the berries are used for their colour, myo-inositol recovered from a sugar-production side stream, and peptides from maca root that arrives via the food industry.
Is there menthol in it?
No. The cooling comes from an ingredient that speaks to TRPM8, your skin's coolness receptor. No sting, no minty smell.
Can I use this if my skin has become more sensitive?
Yes, just introduce it slowly. Patch test first and build up from there.
What are the ingredients?
95% NATURAL INGREDIENTS: Aqua (Water), Propylene Glycol, Glycerin, Inositol, Polysorbate 20, Vaccinium Myrtillus Seed (Bilberry) Oil, Lepidium Meyenii (Peruvian Ginseng) Root Extract, Ceramide NP, Saccharide Isomerate, Mannitol, Citric Acid, Sodium Citrate, Maltodextrin, Phosphatidylcholine, Cetyl Alcohol, Sorbitan Isostearate, Polyglyceryl-10 Laurate, Methylpropanediol, Sodium Hydroxide, Methyl Diisopropyl Propionamide, Hydroxyethyl Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer, Hydroxyacetophenone, Caprylyl Glycol, Pentylene Glycol, 1,2-Hexanediol, Phenylpropanol.
Is this actually made for menopausal skin?
Yes. It was formulated with mature and hormonally fluctuating skin in mind, including menopause and perimenopause, but it also works well for skin that's simply oily, combination, or different every week.

What Moisturiser Is For you?
The Ceramide Gel Moisturiser is our go-to for menopausal skin, and it's just as strong for dull, dehydrated, or flushed skin that wants real hydration without the heavy, greasy feeling of a cream.
Delivers deep, lasting hydration while cooling flushed or overheated skin on contact. Encapsulated ceramides and maca root peptides support the barrier underneath. Works under makeup, no adjustment needed.
Skin that's normal or everyday, no specific concerns? The Vitamin E Face Moisturiser is the better fit day to day.
Need stronger overnight repair for menopausal, oily, or dehydrated skin? The Pro-Retinol Night Cream is built for that, used after dark only.

Siblings by chance, business partners by choice!
When we discovered that more than 500,000 tonnes of coffee grounds are sent to landfill per year in the UK, my brother Will and I started collecting brewed coffee from cafes across London and transforming it into skincare products.
Now, 10 years later, we've saved 450 tonnes of coffee and rescued other
ingredients from the argan, tea, juice, olive, date and wood industries.
We're now the #1 upcycled beauty brand in the UK, backed by dermatologists and celebs. We're proud to have proven to the world that beauty products can be circular, affordable and performance-led!
