The Full Formula.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
