Twenty botanical extracts, blended into one facial oil. Your skin's own oils are made of the same fatty acids. Each plant brings a different mix, so your skin gets the full spectrum it needs.
Most premium skincare sells one hero ingredient. But skin doesn't run on one ingredient: it is held together by a whole mix of natural oils, and the plants we use carry the same ones.
Twenty plants. Each with a job. One bottle.
Some rebuild your skin's barrier, some help it stay firm, some protect it from daily damage, and some calm it down, with proven actives layered through for collagen, antioxidant defence and calm.
Bakuchiol drives 147% Collagen I synthesis, higher than retinol. Rosehip delivers trans-retinoic acid; a 2025 pilot showed visible wrinkle reduction in five weeks. Pomegranate's punicic acid stimulates procollagen while blocking the enzyme that breaks collagen down.
Five oils carry this work — rosehip, chia, pomegranate, broccoli and sunflower — and between them they give skin back the fatty acid it runs short of first. Chia adds +58% hydration in 24 hours. Jojoba and squalane give slip and a finish that will not block pores.
Broccoli's sulforaphane cuts UV cellular damage up to 37%. Blueberry defends against blue light. Sea buckthorn activates the SIRT1 longevity pathway and boosts telomerase. Marula reduces reactive oxygen species up to 50%.
IBR-TCLC® reduces visible redness 14% in one hour and PGE-2 three times better than CoQ10. Frankincense lowers cortisol when inhaled. Lavender and calendula calm topically and aromatically.
Most serums list ingredients. Here we map the compounds those ingredients carry: the omegas, vitamins, minerals and phytochemicals twenty whole-plant botanicals deliver to your skin in every application.
Making collagen takes three steps, and most products help with one. Bakuchiol stimulates the fibroblasts that produce it. Botanical vitamin C is the cofactor skin cannot build collagen without. Copper from sea buckthorn and calendula assembles the fibres into their triple-helix structure. This formula carries all three.
Boswellic acids from frankincense (NF-κB inhibition). Quercetin from calendula (mast-cell stabilisation). Linalool from lavender (histamine modulation). Omega-3 from chia (resolution pathways). Calophyllolide from tamanu (cytokine reduction). Beta-sitosterol from every oil (barrier strengthening). When we say this calms reactive skin, the science runs six pathways deep.
The omega spectrum
The vitamin network
Cell turnover, collagen synthesis, photoprotection: natural carotenoids from sea buckthorn, rosehip, calendula, blueberry, broccoli seed and apricot, plus bakuchiol's retinoid-pathway activation.
The cofactor skin cannot make collagen without. Sea buckthorn (12× more than an orange), rosehip and marula, all gentle and oil-borne, so it brightens without the sting.
The primary lipid antioxidant, present in every oil in the formula plus added tocopherol. A distributed defence network.
Vascular support and redness reduction from broccoli seed, sea buckthorn, blueberry and rosehip.

Bakuchiol is no longer just an ‘alternative’ to retinol. Head-to-head supplier data shows it outperforms retinol on the specific molecular markers that matter most for anti-ageing, without any of retinol's downsides. 147% Collagen I synthesis versus retinol's 119%. 9× elastase inhibition. −40% COX-2 inflammation where retinol raises it. 60× more effective than vitamin E against lipid peroxidation. The 2018 British Journal of Dermatology trial found bakuchiol matched retinol on wrinkle and pigmentation reduction while being significantly better tolerated, with no irritation, no photosensitivity and no pregnancy risk.

A colourless tomato carotenoid complex that works as a biomimetic photoshield. Unlike sunscreen, which sits on the skin, these carotenoids are absorbed and distributed through the skin matrix, neutralising reactive oxygen species at the cellular level. −20% wrinkle count in 28 days. +19% firmness, +23% elasticity. −14% visible redness in one hour. −47% PGE-2 inflammatory molecule, three times better than CoQ10. Upcycled from surplus tomato production.

Our blueberry seed oil (Vaccinium myrtillus, the European wild blueberry) is upcycled from berry surplus, around 800,000 wild blueberries per kilogram of oil. The concentration is so high the resulting oil is 14% richer in ORAC than standard blueberry preparations. Blueberry is a high-energy defender against blue light (HEV radiation), increasingly recognised as an ageing accelerator in screen-dominated lives. Its anthocyanins absorb HEV wavelengths and dissipate the energy as heat.
Supplier clinical testing dataSkin is a living organ, not an impermeable barrier. Its outermost layer, the stratum corneum, is held together by a specific cocktail: roughly 50% ceramides and waxes, 25% cholesterol, 10% free fatty acids, and the cells they surround. When that cocktail is intact, skin protects and breathes. When it is depleted, everything goes wrong at once: dryness, sensitivity, inflammation, even acne.
The oil your skin makes on its own, sebum, is structurally the same class of molecule as a botanical seed oil. A well-formulated plant oil does not sit foreign on the surface. It is recognised. It is a top-up.
Of all the fatty acids skin depends on, the most important (and the most often missing) is linoleic acid.
Dermatological research cited in Susan Parker's Power of the Seed shows that topical linoleic acid can restore barrier function in as little as four weeks. Low linoleic is also associated with breakout-prone skin, where the problem is not excess oil but imbalance. Peace & Pure is built on this thesis: linoleic-rich at its core (rosehip, chia, pomegranate, broccoli seed, sunflower) and balanced with oleic-rich oils that give the texture its slip. The full fatty-acid spectrum is the argument; single-hero oils cannot deliver it.
Nature's gentler retinoid. Rosehip contains trans-retinoic acid, the bioactive form receptor-positive cells can use immediately, without the metabolic conversion synthetic retinol requires. The mechanism is dual: it builds new collagen while protecting existing collagen via MMP-1 inhibition. A 2025 pilot study showed visible wrinkle reduction within five weeks. Combined with bakuchiol, you get retinoid activity without the irritation profile.

70–80% punicic acid, a rare omega-5 polyunsaturated fatty acid found in few plant sources. Punicic acid inhibits MMP-1 while stimulating procollagen synthesis, working on both sides of the collagen equation. Pomegranate also activates phytoestrogen pathways that thicken the epidermis and improve barrier function, which matters most in post-menopausal skin where oestrogen decline correlates with measurable loss of epidermal thickness.
Source · Ismail et al. 2024The only cosmetic oil with published telomerase activity, the enzyme that rebuilds the protective caps at the ends of DNA strands that shorten with age. Its omega-7 profile is native to human skin lipids, so it integrates seamlessly into the stratum corneum. A landmark wound-healing study showed it accelerated healing from 24.8 days to 16.3. It also activates SIRT1, the sirtuin pathway linked to resveratrol-driven longevity.

Johns Hopkins research published in PNAS demonstrated that sulforaphane reduces UV-induced skin damage by 37%. The mechanism is distinct from sunscreen: sulforaphane works intracellularly, inducing phase-2 detoxification enzymes that neutralise damage at the DNA level. The protective effect lasts several days after a single application. It primes the cell's own defence machinery rather than providing momentary external protection.

In clinical study, chia-based formulations showed +58% hydration in 24 hours, with measurable results within two hours of application. Omega-3s restore skin barrier integrity and reduce transepidermal water loss. For dehydrated, stressed or sensitive skin, chia is a fast-acting hydration anchor that works at the surface and at the deeper dermal-epidermal junction.

Marula contains 60% more antioxidants than most botanical oils. In oxidative stress models it reduced reactive oxygen species by 30–50%. Unlike some high-antioxidant oils that sensitise reactive skin, marula is non-irritant and has been validated for sensitive skin populations in dermatological testing, a powerful but gentle workhorse.
Source · Dermatological sensitive-skin validationFrankincense contains boswellic acids that deliver anti-inflammatory and photoprotective benefits at the molecular level. But there's a second mechanism: the olfactory-psychological pathway. The aroma reduces cortisol and activates the parasympathetic nervous system. When parasympathetic tone increases, skin barrier function improves, inflammation decreases, and wound healing accelerates. This is the ingredient that literally delivers the mind–skin connection.

So the formula works on your skin and on how you feel, at the same time. Frankincense, lavender and orange are in the blend because they calm inflammation in the skin and quiet the mind as you breathe them in, not because they make it smell nice.
Boswellic acids from frankincense help calm inflammation, linalool from lavender settles reactive skin, and omega-3 feeds the process that switches inflammation off. Taking the time to warm the oil and breathe it in lets all of that work properly, and gives you a quiet moment while it does.
