If your skin has particular needs or sensitivities, one of the best ways of approaching skincare is to have it custom made.

The serums I make have two options: jojoba oil-based and glycerin-based.

Jojoba oil is technically a wax that is cold pressed from the fruit of the Simmondsia chinensis plant. It is well-known for being high in antioxidants, Vitamin E and of the same consistency as skin sebum (your skin’s natural barrier). Jojoba is also known for being hypoallergenic, meaning most people do not have an allergic reaction when it’s topicallty applied.

Glycerin is known for being naturally super hydrating despite being oil-free. Glycerin is a water attractor (more so than hylauronic acid) and promotes skin cell turnover. It’s also non-comedogenic, meaning it will not clog pores. People who have sensitive skin that is dry or prone to acne may really benefit from using a glycerin-based serum.

Both are restorative, hydrating and infused with botanical extracts that can be customized to address particular issues that can include redness, dryness, breakouts, large pores, aging, restoration and/or inflammation.
