THE SERUM — Woody Amber & Leather
Four actives. Thirty-four ingredients in all.
Hyaluronic acid·Sodium PCA·Jojoba oil·Rosehip oil
A serum, not a heavy oil. This lightweight, fast-absorbing formula delivers intense hydration without sitting on the skin — jojoba and rosehip oils working to improve texture and elasticity, while hyaluronic acid and sodium PCA pull moisture in and keep it there. Woody amber and leather sit close to the skin as it absorbs — warm, dark, a little worn-in.
Two areas. That is all anyone actually touches first. Woody amber, worn leather, worked into the forearms and the chest and nowhere else — because a body that smells like effort everywhere has confused ritual with marketing. This is not for covering ground. It is for the two places someone actually gets close enough to notice.
What it does
- Lightweight, fast-absorbing hydration
- Improves skin texture and elasticity
- Hyaluronic acid and sodium PCA hold moisture in
- Woody amber and leather scent, close to the skin
What is in it
- Hyaluronic acid
Humectant; pulls water into the upper layers and holds it there, so skin reads plump rather than merely damp. Used here at multiple molecular weights so it works at more than one depth.
- Sodium PCA
Part of skin's own natural moisturising factor. Replaces what washing takes out, and keeps the hydration from evaporating off again.
- Betaine
Sugar-beet humectant. Draws in moisture and takes the edge off surfactants, which is why a wash built on it rinses without that tight, squeaky finish.
- Jojoba seed oil
Technically a wax ester, and close enough to skin's own sebum that it absorbs instead of sitting on top. Conditions without the grease.
- Rosehip seed oil
Cold-pressed, high in linoleic acid. Works on texture and elasticity over weeks, not overnight.
- Watercress extract
Organic. Mineral-dense botanical support in the water phase.
- Ginkgo biloba leaf extract
At 1%. Antioxidant and circulatory support, sitting under the peptides.
How to use
Apply to clean, damp skin. Massage in until fully absorbed. Daily, or as needed for dry or dehydrated areas. Layers over THE WASH and under any body cream.
There's a smell that belongs to rooms you're not supposed to be in yet — a study, a tailor's back workshop, the inside of a coat that's been worn for years by someone else. Amber and leather, worn-in rather than new. We built this serum around that instinct: something that reads as lived, not applied.
