Seven plants from seven regions, each chosen for what it does for deeper skin and each traced to the people who have used it longest.
We formulate for that skin first, and only that skin. Every active is chosen for how it behaves on Fitzpatrick types IV to VI, and every finish is tested there before it ships.
