Refills allow single-use glass containers and plastic parts like droppers, pumps and lids to become multi-use, reducing plastic by >80% and emissions by >99% — far better outcomes than recycling.

But it's not a 100% perfect solution (yet), and we've explored many questions and concerns in the FAQ here.

Active Hydration is a bestseller because it helps skin go from dull to healthy-looking and radiant while being supremely gentle.

This light, fast-absorbing liquid leads with a powerful dose of antioxidant vitamin C and other antioxidants to brighten and prevent hyperpigmentation caused by sun damage or breakouts, as well as ward off DNA-damaging free radicals that cause visible signs of premature aging. It also provides serious hydration to help skin feel more plump, firm and supple.

Because we use a gentle, stabilized form of Vitamin C, you won’t experience the sensitivity or redness that other C serums may cause. It’s also packed with Vitamin B5 (Panthenol) and Amino Acids to truly nourish skin. Get ready to show off a more luminous complexion and notice your inner glow shining through.

How to use this product

We recommend first misting clean skin with Healing Water Toning Mist. Then, use fingertips to smooth a small amount of serum onto the skin. Follow with Precious Oils Active Infusion.
