Everything in the jar

Full INCI list

Every ingredient, in descending order by weight, exactly as it appears on the box. We don't hide actives behind "proprietary blends."

  • Niacinamide 3% active

How it feels

Pearly, slightly silken, and absorbed in about thirty seconds. Closer to a whipped cream than a salve, despite the name. Not greasy under makeup.

  • Texture whipped, light
  • Finish satin, no shine
  • Scent none added
  • Layers under SPF yes, no pilling
  • Layers under makeup yes
  • AM and PM use both
  • Eye area safe yes
  • Pregnancy-safe yes

How to use it, actually.

A pump and a press, twice a day. The whole point of this product is that the routine is short, so we'll keep this brief too.

Step 1
— Step one

Cleanse and pat

Non-foaming cleanser, lukewarm water, pat dry with a press cloth. Leave the skin slightly damp before the pump.

Step 2
— Step two

One pump, press in

One pearl-sized pump for the whole face, half for the eye area. Press into skin with palms — don't rub.

Step 3
— Step three

Layer SPF in the AM

Mineral SPF on top in the morning. That's the entire routine. We'd love to add steps, but we couldn't justify any.
