ACTIVE WHOLE PLANTS

The World’s Finest Ingredients

Rather than targeting a single issue, our whole plant ingredients provide a rich blend of nutrients that work together for comprehensive, long-term impact, offering your skin visible, multi-beneficial results. Select a category below to learn more.
  • Hydrolyzed Proteins for Barrier Support

    Phyto-fermented nutrients support your skin barrier

    GOTU KOLA ALFALFA ASHWAGANDA MATCHA GREEN TEA
    Utilizing our proprietary Phyto Ferment™ technology, many of our botanical ingredients deliver plant-based hydrolyzed proteins, which help support your natural skin barrier. These nutrients are able to hydrate all skin types, including oily skin, leaving skin looking more balanced and refreshed.
  • Firming Vitamin C

    Naturally occurring, stabilized vitamin C supports a firmer, more lifted appearance

    KAKADU PLUM ACEROLA MICROALGAE MORINGA
    By selecting whole plant ingredients that are rich in vital sources of vitamin C, we are able to help enhance the appearance of skin integrity and visible elasticity. These botanicals also encourage a smoother, more lifted and balanced appearance in all skin types, including in mature skin.
  • Brightening Stem Cells

    A patented plant stem cell complex brightens and evens tone

    DANDELION LICORICE MEXICAN POPPY FOUR O'CLOCK FLOWER
    Many of our botanicals are known to help reduce the appearance of hyperpigmentation and inflammation. Combined with a patented plant stem cell complex, these whole plants work together to reveal an even brighter-looking and more consistent skin tone over time, making them powerhouse ingredients for blemish-prone skin.
  • Hyaluronic Acid for Plumper-Looking Skin

    Multi-weight hyaluronic acid leaves skin feeling plump and soft

    HYALURONIC ACID APPLE ASTRAGALUS MARSHMALLOW
    Using a blend of mini and micro hyaluronic molecules, our ingredients create a hydration matrix across the skin to lock in water. They work alongside humectants, which attract water molecules from the surrounding environment to provide even more hydration, offering continuous support to dry and dehydrated skin.
  • Gentle Micro-Exfoliators

    Gentle plant acids and enzymes reveal a smoother, more polished surface

    PINEAPPLE PAPAYA LACTIC ACID PHYTIC ACID
    Many exfoliators scrub dead skin cells away, leaving your skin even drier and more sensitive. But these gentle plant enzymes help dissolve dead cells and gently slough them off, leaving your skin with the brightness of a peel without the irritation.
  • Antioxidant Nutrient Boost

    A concentrated infusion of superfoods for vibrant, healthy-looking skin

    GREEN TEA MAIDENHAIR TREE (GINKGO) HELICHRYSUM
    This formula contains many vital water-soluble nutrients, selected for their ability to revitalize the appearance of dullness and the visible effects of environmental fatigue in the skin. They leave all skin types looking more healthy and vibrant.
  • Smoothing Ancient Hydrators

    Ancient hydrators smooth and revitalize the skin's moisture levels

    ALOE COCONUT WATER TUBEROSE MULLEIN OAT
    Time-honored ingredients like mineral-rich coconut water, soothing aloe and more deliver a concentrated surge of water-based nourishment to the skin’s surface, softening the appearance of fine lines and leaving skin looking smooth and refreshed.
  • pH-Balancing Toner

    Clarifying botanicals balance and protect the skin

    APPLE CIDER VINEGAR NETTLE VITAMIN B3 (NIACINAMIDE) ROSEMARY
    Your skin is at its most radiant when its surface environment is balanced. This formula is carefully pH balanced in order to help maintain this delicate equilibrium, refreshing skin and leaving it perfectly prepped for the next step in your routine to feel even more effective.

PHYTO RADIANCE INFUSION™
Skincare so advanced, it could only come from nature.

There is no substitute for whole plants. Because these ingredients share the same organic building blocks as your body, they are able to nourish and communicate with your skin on a deeper level.

While most natural skincare begins with processed, powdered or freeze-dried ingredients, ours begins with active, whole plants, infused into our formulas over the course of weeks using our proprietary Phyto Radiance Infusion technology.



Making skincare this way is far more costly, time-consuming and resource-intensive, but we know it is the only way to produce the powerful results your skin deserves.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will Active Treatment Essence work with my skin type?

Active Treatment Essence is designed to support all skin types, including sensitive, combination, blemish-prone, mature and dry skin.

Why does my skin feel sticky after applying Active Treatment Essence?

This “sticky” feeling means that the powerful humectants in Active Treatment Essence have bonded to your skin, creating a hydration matrix that will continue to draw more hydration from the air. After applying, move on to your moisture step to leave your skin feeling smooth to the touch while Active Treatment Essence works its magic underneath.

What is the scent of Active Treatment Essence?

Active Treatment Essence has been fermented for 14 days using our proprietary Phyto Ferment™ technology, which makes nutrients more bio-available, delivers strengthening hydrolyzed proteins and more. This process gives the product its famous, kombucha-like smell.
