What this bottle brings
- 01
Invisible antioxidant support in any moisturiser
- 02
Water-light gel, no residue finish
- 03
More even, quietly vital-looking skin
Why this exists
Daily environmental stress from UV exposure, pollution, and oxidation builds gradually, often showing first as dullness, uneven texture, and a loss of surface vitality. This booster exists to make antioxidant support easy to include consistently, without changing the feel of the ritual you already use. It is built around four organic plant extracts, each selected for recognised antioxidant activity, and kept in a clear gel base so it can mix cleanly into any serum or moisturiser. Rather than asking skin to accept another heavy layer, it adds a concentrated plant antioxidant complex in a format that stays light, seamless, and compatible with the rest of the ritual.

The application
How to layer this
-
1
Add to your base
Mix one to three drops, or a small amount, into your chosen serum or moisturiser immediately before application.
-
2
Apply to clean skin
Smooth the combined product over clean skin morning or evening, depending on how you are structuring the rest of the ritual.
-
3
Use it alone if needed
If preferred, apply the gel on its own before moisturiser for a lighter antioxidant layer.
What to expect
On the skin, over time
Day 1
The booster blends invisibly into serum or cream, and the finished layer feels smoother and lighter on the skin.
Week 1
Skin can feel more consistently comfortable through the day, with less of the settled, fatigued feeling that builds by evening.
Week 4
With regular use, the surface may look more even and carry a quiet vitality that feels built in rather than temporary.
The deeper detail
The formulation, the provenance, the standard
Formulation
The base is a water-alcohol gel structured by Carrageenan (a marine polysaccharide), Cellulose Gum, and Ceratonia Siliqua Gum (locust bean gum). This three-gum system creates a smooth, clear texture that emulsifies easily with cream and serum bases without clumping or separating.
Ginkgo Biloba Leaf Extract, organically sourced, leads the active complex : it is high in flavonoids and terpenoids, two classes of antioxidant compounds with well-documented free-radical scavenging activity. Camellia Sinensis (Green Tea) Leaf Extract, organically sourced, provides catechins, particularly EGCG, among the most-studied polyphenolic antioxidants in cosmetic science. Quercus Robur (Oak) Bark Extract, organically sourced, contributes tannin-derived astringent and antioxidant activity that supports skin tone and surface resilience. Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Seed Extract, organically sourced, provides OPCs (oligomeric proanthocyanidins), which provide potent antioxidant and barrier-protective effects.
Glycerin and Glucose support hydration and the skin-compatible base. The texture is a clear, water-light gel that applies cleanly, disappears on contact, and leaves no residue. Fragrance is included at a low level for a clean, fresh finish.
Provenance
A small-batch boutique skincare house, made to order.

Because every bottle is bottled to order, what arrives at your door is at the peak of its actives : nothing has been sitting against light, heat, or oxygen for months. Two-day production is the price of formulation freshness, and the boutique standard we hold ourselves to.

proper step tbh
The bit I stir into my face cream.
-

mixes neatly
Reactive skin, no problems. I mix it into serum and it just vanishes. Fresh finish.

In my morning cream
On cold Nottingham mornings, I added this to my face cream before work and it sat well under my SPF. My combo skin stayed comfortable and looked less shiny by lunch.

Slots into my serum without changing how it feels.

good daily layer
Wanted something for daily defence, not another heavy cream. Layers into moisturiser cleanly, zero oil feel.

Light Gel Booster
I mix a small bit into my morning cream and it stays light. No clumps, just a clean finish. The 20 ml size is a bit small if you use it every day, but the ginkgo and green tea are a nice touch.
