Soothing care for dry, sensitive & barrier-stressed skin
Restore Elixir is a calming botanical face oil created to comfort skin that feels dry, fragile, reactive, or overwhelmed.
Formulated with barrier-supportive oils, soothing botanical extracts, and naturally calming actives, this lightweight yet nourishing serum helps replenish moisture, support skin resilience, and restore softness and comfort without heaviness.
Designed for skin that struggles with dryness, sensitivity, irritation, over-exfoliation, or environmental stress, Restore Elixir helps support healthier-looking skin while respecting the skin barrier.
Why skin loves it
- Helps comfort dry, reactive skin
- Supports the skin barrier
- Lightweight nourishment without heaviness
- Helps reduce feelings of tightness and discomfort
- Supports softness and skin resilience
- Fragrance-free and essential oil-free
Powered by barrier-loving botanicals
- Evening Primrose & Oat Kernel Oils help replenish moisture while supporting delicate or compromised skin.
- Bisabolol, Calendula & Chamomile help calm visible redness and support skin comfort.
- Olive-derived Squalane & Jojoba Oil help maintain softness and reinforce the skin barrier without greasiness.
- Tamanu & Rosehip Oils help nourish stressed skin while supporting smoother-looking texture and resilience over time.
Why restorative skincare matters
Skin that is constantly exposed to harsh actives, over-exfoliation, environmental stress, or dehydration can become reactive, uncomfortable, and weakened over time.
Restore Elixir takes a gentler approach by helping support and replenish the skin barrier rather than aggressively correcting the skin.
Who it’s for
Ideal for skin that feels:
- Dry or dehydrated
- Sensitive or reactive
- Tight or uncomfortable
- Over-exfoliated or barrier-stressed
- Fragile, compromised, or easily irritated
Suitable for minimalist skincare routines and those looking for calm, nourishing support without unnecessary fillers or fragrance.
Size: 30ml
Notes
Free from added fragrance and essential oils. The pure botanical oils give the serum a naturally soft, earthy aroma reflective of its active plant ingredients.
Packaged in amber glass to help protect delicate botanical oils and reduce exposure to plastic-derived microplastics.

I'm new to using a face oil but I must say it's already made quite a positive difference to my skin in the past two weeks alone it really does "restore", my dry patches are gone and my skin doesn't feel tender it feels much smoother and looks healthy, will see how I get on but so far I'm very pleased I didn't expect a face oil to work better than all my old creams and I've tried them all after suffering with very sensitive dry skin that gets easily inflamed. It's unscented but does carry a sort of "herby" scent.
Does the job. Skin feels more nourished and not tight and irritated, will continue use and report back.
Super product! I have very sensitive, dry and reactive skin and really struggle finding gentle products that work, in the past weeks my skin is healed, no longer dry and flaky and I feel like a new woman, very gentle ingredients that really work when using twice a day, my old product was three times the price and didn't work as well I'm really happy with this brand and use the face and body balm for my body.
This oil is perfect for dry and sensitive skin types to support and restore the skin barrier while nourishing, hydrating, and replenishing the skin.
This botanical blend is crafted with barrier repairing oils and soothing actives to strengthen resilience and restore comfort.
Formulated with Evening Primrose, Eat Kernel, Rosehip, Calendula, and Chamomile.
Description says that it's fragrance-free. However, I can notice delicate, herby, and enjoyable scent.
Bottle made from glass and easy to use because of pump dispenser.
I would recommend using it overnight to wake up to glowing, hydrated, and healthy looking skin.
I suffer with really sensitive and dry skin and some rosacea, this has really worked wonders for me, it's so gentle and full of some quality ingredients, a little goes a long way so the bottle is lasting me ages. I've fallen in love with this little brand and have tried their sensitive skin friendly body oil as well and the detox bath for my little ones and I'm so pleased with everything.
