Restorative Body Serum

Yes. Our formulas were tested on sensitive skin and are safe and effective for all skin types.

We avoid SLS, synthetic fragrance, drying alcohols, and silicones. Our active ingredients (hyaluronic acid and niacinamide) are safe and gentle. We have found that the niacinamide can leave a slight tingling feeling on the skin.

Our chosen floral and citrus essential oil blend avoids the harsher herbs that may cause a skin reaction.

We follow the Environmental Working Group, EU and Credo clean beauty standards.

We choose the most gentle ingredients that we can. We do not use artificial colours or fragrances, SLS, harsh chemicals, silicones or barrier-stripping acids.

Our products are very lightly scented with flower and citrus essential oils, which are gentler on the skin.

No synthetic fragrance is used. Our subtle scent comes from natural essential oil blend of rose, sandalwood, neroli, grapefruit, well within IFRA dermal limits.

We prioritize olfactory wellness and skin integrity. Our scent profiles evoke the a luxurious experience without triggering fragrance sensitivities.

We use a low percentage of niacinamide, a well-tolerated concentration backed by clinical studies to:

• Improve skin tone and texture
  
• Support ceramide synthesis (for barrier repair)
  
• Calm redness and inflammation
  

It’s pH-balanced and paired with soothing agents like aloe vera and algae, which reduce the risk of sensitivity. However, we always recommend patch testing for extremely reactive skin.

Our formulas are free from retinoids, parabens, synthetic fragrance, and known endocrine disruptors. Some of our early product testers used Maris Dae throughout pregnancy and breastfeeding and reported great benefits from our hydrating formulas.

Essential oils are present in low concentrations, if you have a strong scent aversion, we recommend reviewing with your healthcare provider, especially during the first trimester.

We recommend using our bodycare line for any of your dry skin from the neck down. Our formulas are safe and gentle, however, we are formulating a unique product for the more sensitive and hydration-hungry face.

Despite the name, hyaluronic acid has nothing in common with exfoliating acids like AHAs or salicylic acid. It doesn't resurface, strip, or irritate, it hydrates.

Hyaluronic acid is a humectant: a naturally occurring molecule your body already produces, found in your joints, connective tissue, and skin. Its job is to attract and hold water (up to 1,000x) its own weight. As we age (or as cold, wind, and sun take their toll), our natural hyaluronic acid levels drop. Applying it topically replenishes that moisture reservoir directly in the skin.

It's one of the most well-tolerated ingredients in skincare, suitable for sensitive, reactive, and compromised skin types. We use it in both our Body Wash and Body Serum specifically because it hydrates without disrupting the skin barrier, which is the opposite of what harsh acids do.

Use it daily. It works best applied to slightly damp skin, which gives it water to draw from. That's exactly why we recommend massaging the Body Serum in right after the shower.

• Mazzaella Japonica + Bull Kelp Complex — A red seaweed and brown seaweed that is only found in BC, rich in bioactive polysaccharides, amino acids, and antioxidants; shown to improve hydration and reduce UV-induced oxidative stress
  
• Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) — Clinically shown to improve skin tone, texture, and barrier strength
  
• Hyaluronic Acid — Binds up to 1,000x its weight in water, improving elasticity and hydration
  
• Aloe Vera & Glycerin — Calming, moisture-binding botanicals that support post-exposure repair
  
• Vitamin E (Tocopherol) — A fat-soluble antioxidant that helps combat lipid peroxidation in the skin
  

All are chosen for biocompatibility, clinical support, and sensory elegance.

We pride ourselves on ingredient transparency. Our hero algaes, are sustainably sourced directly from seaweed farmers off coast of Vancouver Island, a region known for pristine marine ecosystems. We ferment the complex in our lab, and convert it into our high performing products.

Other ingredients are COSMOS-compliant, EWG-rated, and chosen for efficacy, purity, and performance.

Our products are made small batch in our lab in Vancouver, Canada.

Our line was built to support skin exposed to environmental stressors — especially sun, salt, wind, cold, and pollution. Our products work on three key levels:

1. Protect — Antioxidants from red algae, kelp and Vitamin E defend against free radicals
   
2. Hydrate — Hyaluronic acid, glycerin, and marine polysaccharides deeply hydrate the skin
   
3. Repair — Niacinamide supports lipid barrier function and reduces inflammation
   

Think of it as your skin’s daily defense and a restorative ritual after every adventure.

The magic lies in polysaccharides: long-chain natural sugars found in sea algae. These compounds help hydrate and protect skin, reduce inflammation, and feed beneficial gut bacteria. They’re antioxidants, anti-inflammatories, and prebiotics.

We are a health care company disguised as a skincare brand. We are extremely passionate about supporting women who are starved for time and the endless pursuit of feeling (and looking) better.

We wanted to make natural products that are safe on you and the environment, and found that many products fall short, offering underperforming formulas with questionable ingredients that push women toward expensive face serums, filler injections, or unproven supplements. The result is frustration, a lot of wasted money, and ultimately not feeling better in their own skin.

We are also passionate about pioneering biotechnology, sustainable agriculture and local supply chains to create beautiful products. When we discovered the benefits of sea algae, and the untapped quality of the algae grown in our hometown of Vancouver, we knew this had the potential to create truly spectacular results.
