We don’t just use nature—we refine it. Every ingredient we choose has a purpose, and every process we use makes it better. From deep-sea kelp to high-altitude botanicals, we take what’s already powerful and push it further.


TIME IN A BOTTLE

Nature doesn’t rush, and neither do we. Our fermentation process is designed to extract the best from every ingredient, breaking down complex compounds to make them more potent and bioavailable.

- Kelp from pristine seas is packed with minerals and fucoidan, but its dense structure makes absorption difficult. We use enzyme fermentation to break it down, followed by lactobacillus fermentation to optimize bioavailability.

- Jeju green tea is rich in catechins, but exposure to heat and oxygen weakens its antioxidant power. We use a slow, low-temperature fermentation process to preserve its potency.

- Rice bran, naturally high in gamma-oryzanol, undergoes solid-state fermentation to enhance its stability and absorption.

The result? Ingredients that work harder, absorb faster, and deliver more.


BLUEPRINTS OF NATURE

Nature has always known how to heal itself. Across ecosystems, organisms instinctively seek out plants, minerals, and elements that restore balance and resilience. We take inspiration from these natural strategies, studying how the most adaptive species interact with their environment to unlock the true potential of botanical ingredients.

Take, for example, Smilax, a plant revered for its rapid regenerative properties. In spring, as nature awakens, white-tailed deer—commonly found in Texas and other parts of the southeastern United States—experience a dramatic growth in their antlers. This rapid transformation is fueled by the protein-rich nutrients of Smilax. Thriving in the moist forests and understory of the southeastern U.S., Smilax becomes a key dietary component for these deer during this critical period, providing them with essential energy and nutrients for antler development.

Inspired by this natural phenomenon, we began studying Smilax in 2007, focusing on its plant-derived saponins and their ability to support skin resilience and elasticity. These compounds reflect the plant’s regenerative abilities and offer transformative benefits when applied to skincare.

This is just the beginning. By decoding nature’s own solutions—like the instinctive wisdom of the white-tailed deer—we refine and elevate every ingredient, transforming what’s already powerful into something even more effective.


REWRITING SKINCARE

We believe great skincare takes time—and a little bit of magic. It's in the patient art of fermentation, the precise moment of harvest, and the cutting-edge science that amplifies nature's genius. Some might call our approach unconventional. But we've learned that the most extraordinary results come from embracing both ancient wisdom and modern innovation. This isn't just skincare. This is nature's power, amplified by science, perfected by time. Because your skin deserves nothing less than extraordinary.
