N° 01
CAPRYLIC / CAPRIC T... PHOTO · PLANT-DERIVED
N° 01 · Primary carrier

Caprylic / Capric Triglyceride

Cocos nucifera derivative
28%Plant-derived

A fractionated, ultra-fine carrier ester pressed from coconut. Molecular weight low enough to slip past the skin's outermost barrier rather than sit on top — the reason Queen disappears in seconds while still depositing every active where it works.

8 seconds
Absorption vs. ~6 minutes for a standard body lotion
N° 02
JOJOBA OIL PHOTO · SONORAN DESERT
N° 02 · Primary base

Jojoba Oil

Simmondsia chinensis
20%Sonoran DesertCold-pressedOrganic

A near-perfect mimic of human sebum, structurally a wax ester rather than a triglyceride. The skin recognises jojoba as its own oil — stable, non-comedogenic, and the quiet backbone of every well-made botanical formula.

99% sebum match
The closest plant analogue to human sebum
N° 03
CAMELLIA JAPONICA S... PHOTO · IZU ISLANDS, JP
N° 03 · Hero active

Camellia Japonica Seed Oil

Camellia japonica
12%Izu Islands, JPCold-pressed

Tsubaki oil has been used by the women of the Japanese Imperial Court for over a thousand years. Its oleic-acid profile mirrors human sebum, allowing it to disappear into the skin while leaving an unmistakable satin finish.

1,000+ years
Of recorded ritual use
N° 04
PASSIONFLOWER SEED OIL PHOTO · ANDEAN HIGHLANDS
N° 04 · Hero active

Passionflower Seed Oil

Passiflora incarnata
8%Andean HighlandsCold-pressedOrganic

First cold press only. The exceptional 72% linoleic-acid content reinforces the lipid barrier and is shown to improve overall luminosity. Non-comedogenic and entirely odourless — the silent workhorse of the formula.

72% linoleic
ω-6 essential fatty acid
N° 05
HIGH-OLEIC SUNFLOWE... PHOTO · PROVENCE, FR
N° 05 · Secondary base

High-Oleic Sunflower Oil

Helianthus annuus hybrid
6%Provence, FRCold-pressed

Standard sunflower oil destabilises in air. The high-oleic hybrid we use was developed for cosmetic-grade longevity — it stays fresh and effective for the entire life of the bottle while delivering the linoleic acid your barrier craves.

82% oleic
Shelf-stable, no oxidation
N° 06
RICE BRAN OIL PHOTO · PIEDMONT, IT
N° 06 · Secondary base

Rice Bran Oil

Oryza sativa bran
5%Piedmont, ITCold-pressed

Cold-pressed from the bran of Italian heirloom rice. Naturally rich in gamma-oryzanol, tocopherols, and squalene — all three of which the skin loses progressively after 40.

γ-oryzanol
Rare antioxidant complex
N° 07
BRAZIL NUT SEED OIL PHOTO · AMAZON BASIN
N° 07 · Nourishing oil

Brazil Nut Seed Oil

Bertholletia excelsa
4%Amazon BasinCold-pressed

Cold-pressed from wild-harvested Brazil nuts. The selenium content supports the skin's own antioxidant defenses and counteracts the oxidative load of urban living.

Selenium-rich
From a single wild-harvested Brazil nut
N° 08
EVENING PRIMROSE OIL PHOTO · YORKSHIRE, UK
N° 08 · Active oil

Evening Primrose Oil

Oenothera biennis
3%Yorkshire, UKCold-pressedOrganic

One of the few botanical sources of gamma-linolenic acid. GLA is anti-inflammatory at the cellular level and is consistently linked in dermatological literature to improvements in skin density — particularly during the hormonal shifts of midlife.

10% GLA
Anti-inflammatory ω-6
N° 09
ASCORBYL TETRAISOPA... PHOTO · BIO-STABILISED, JP
N° 09 · Hero active

Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate

Stabilised Vitamin C
2%Bio-stabilised, JP

Unlike L-ascorbic acid, ATIP does not oxidise or destabilise in an oil formula. It penetrates deeper than water-based Vitamin C and converts to active ascorbic acid inside the skin — where it does its work.

Stable Vit C
Oil-soluble, deep-penetrating
N° 10
BAKUCHIOL PHOTO · COLD-EXTRACTED, INDIA
N° 10 · Hero active

Bakuchiol

Psoralea corylifolia
1%Cold-extracted, IndiaCold-pressed

Bakuchiol delivers the cellular-turnover effects associated with retinol without the photo-sensitivity, dryness or flushing. Safe for daily morning and evening use, and safe on the most reactive skin.

Retinol-like
Zero photosensitivity, zero irritation
N° 11
LAMINARIA OCHROLEUC... PHOTO · BRITTANY COAST, FR
N° 11 · Active

Laminaria Ochroleuca Extract

Golden Algae
1%Brittany coast, FR

Wild-harvested off the Breton coast. A powerful marine antioxidant shown to reduce inflammation pathways triggered by environmental stressors — UV, infrared, blue light, urban particulates.

Marine antioxidant
From the cold Atlantic
N° 12
SEA BUCKTHORN FRUIT... PHOTO · HIMALAYAN PLATEAU
N° 12 · Microactive

Sea Buckthorn Fruit Oil

Hippophae rhamnoides
0.8%Himalayan plateauCold-pressedOrganic

One of the rarest fatty-acid profiles in the plant world. The deep orange colour comes from a uniquely high concentration of carotenoids and palmitoleic acid, both critical for skin barrier repair and a healthy, lit-from-within tone.

Omega-7
+ carotenoids, palmitoleic acid
N° 13
TOCOPHEROL PHOTO · SUNFLOWER-DERIVED
N° 13 · Antioxidant

Tocopherol

Natural Vitamin E
0.8%Sunflower-derived

Mixed natural tocopherols — not the cheap synthetic α-tocopherol acetate. Acts as both a skin-active antioxidant and a stabiliser that keeps the polyunsaturated oils in this formula fresh, batch after batch.

Mixed tocopherols
Natural, not synthetic
N° 14
ROSEMARY LEAF EXTRACT PHOTO · PROVENCE, FR
N° 14 · Antioxidant

Rosemary Leaf Extract

Rosmarinus officinalis
0.1%Provence, FROrganic

A botanical CO₂ extract from the rosemary fields of the South of France. Rich in carnosic acid, which protects the delicate PUFA oils in this formula from oxidising — so what is in your bottle on day 90 is exactly what was in it on day one.

Carnosic acid
Nature's preservative
N° 15
MEDITERRANEAN CYPRE... PHOTO · GRASSE, FR
N° 15 · Scent anchor

Mediterranean Cypress Oil

Cupressus sempervirens
0.5%Grasse, FR

Steam-distilled in Grasse, the perfume capital of the world. Cypress lends depth and serenity to the formula without any of the phototoxic compounds found in many citrus and aromatic oils. Safe for daytime use.

No phototoxicity
Daylight-safe
N° 16
CYPRESS, LEMON & RO... PHOTO · GRASSE, FR
N° 16 · Scent

Cypress, Lemon & Rosemary Parfum

Essences naturelles
1.5%Grasse, FR

Blended by a third-generation parfumeur in Grasse. The scent is the ritual — earthy cypress, bright citrus, the green of fresh rosemary at dawn. Settles into the skin within 90 seconds and never competes with your fragrance.

No synthetic parfum
