Introducing Next Gen Hydration

Beloved by many, our bestselling Ultra Hydrating Serum has been elevated to new heights of hydration and skin perfection. Building upon its already iconic formula, we've introduced a groundbreaking new ingredient to complement our potent bioactive blend.



Our coveted Ultra Hydrating Serum is back and better than ever. This isn't just a relaunch; it's a hydration revolution! Still packed with the skin-loving powerhouse duo of Niacinamide and Hyaluronic Acid, we've added a new superstar 💫 ingredient. 



Building upon its already iconic formula, we've introduced hydration hero SQUALANE, to complement our potent bioactive blend and lock in moisture like never before.


Get ready to experience fresher, plumped and dewy baby soft skin. Our cult-classic formula has been honed to perfection and delivers longer lasting hydration without compromising the lightweight, refreshing texture you adore.


If this wasn't enough, we have gone a stretch further to ensure the potency and purity of our formula lasts until the final drop. To do this we’ve housed it in beautiful ultraviolet glass, protecting against degradation by light preserving our serum in perfect fresh condition.



Let's dive in and discover why this serum is about to become your new skin obsession.

Who Is The Fourth Muskateer?

SQUALANE


To find out more about Squalane and why it is a skincare game-changer, read on:


  • Mimics your skin's natural oils: Our skin naturally produces squalene, but production declines with age. Applying squalane topically helps restore the skin's natural balance.
  • Locks in moisture: Squalane forms a protective barrier on the skin's surface, preventing moisture loss and keeping hydration levels healthy.
  • Lightweight and non-comedogenic: Unlike some oils, squalane is incredibly lightweight and absorbs quickly without clogging pores, making it suitable for all skin types.
  • Improves skin texture: Regular use can help smooth and soften the skin, reducing the appearance of rough patches.
  • Antioxidant properties: Squalane helps protect the skin from environmental damage caused by free radicals, contributing to a healthier complexion.

By incorporating squalane into your skincare routine, you're giving your skin a hydration boost that lasts.



A Dynamic Quartet : Squalane, Niacinamide, Starflower and Hyaluronic Acid


Our serum features a powerful combination of three skincare superstars: niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, and squalane. Imagine them as the Three Musketeers for your skin, each playing a vital role in achieving a hydrated, radiant complexion.


  • Niacinamide is the problem-solver, addressing concerns like uneven tone, enlarged pores, and dullness.
  • Hyaluronic acid is the hydration hero, drawing moisture into the skin and plumping it up.
  • Starflower brings it to the party with brightening, moisturising properties to die for.
  • Squalane is the moisture-locking guardian, sealing in all that goodness and creating a protective barrier.

Together, they create a synergistic effect, working in harmony to deliver exceptional results. Squalane enhances the hydrating properties of hyaluronic acid while niacinamide helps to improve the skin's texture, creating a perfect canvas for optimal hydration.

This potent combination ensures your skin is not only deeply hydrated but also nourished, protected, and revitalised.

Address Skincare Concerns with the Hydration Power Pack

Hydrated skin offers a multitude of benefits for your complexion and well-being. Primarily, it helps to retain moisture, preventing dryness and reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. 


Hydration also helps to improve the elasticity and firmness of your skin, giving it a youthful and plump appearance. Hydrated skin also  promotes a healthy skin barrier, protecting against environmental aggressors and reducing the risk of irritation and inflammation. It also improves the overall texture of your skin, leaving it smooth, soft, and supple. 


Finally, well-hydrated skin tends to have a natural radiant glow, enhancing your complexion and boosting your confidence. In a nutshell, keeping your skin properly hydrated is not only essential for its health but also for achieving a vibrant and youthful appearance.


The combination of squalane, hyaluronic acid, starflower and niacinamide offers a powerful solution for various skincare concerns. Let us explain how this dynamic cohort tackles some of the most common issues:

Dryness and Dehydration:

  • Hyaluronic acid acts like a moisture magnet, attracting and retaining water in the skin, leaving it plump and hydrated.
  • Squalane helps prevent moisture loss by creating a protective barrier without clogging pores.

Fine Lines and Wrinkles:

  • Continued hydration from hyaluronic acid plumps the skin, minimising the appearance of fine lines.
  • Niacinamide can stimulate collagen production, which helps maintain skin elasticity and reduce wrinkles over time.

Acne and Blemishes:

  • Niacinamide regulates sebum production, which can help prevent breakouts.
  • Its anti-inflammatory properties can soothe existing blemishes and promote healing.

Uneven Skin Tone and Hyperpigmentation:

  • Niacinamide helps fade dark spots and hyperpigmentation by inhibiting melanin production.
  • It can also improve overall skin tone and radiance.

Enlarged Pores:

  • Niacinamide helps minimise the appearance of pores by regulating sebum production and keeping them clear.
