A stable form of vitamin C that boosts radiance and supports a more even-looking complexion.
Rosehip, baobab, acerola, and sea buckthorn for botanical C nutrients.
Green tea, vitamin E, and clinically studied hops for a luminous, dewy-looking complexion.
Morning and night, both. It's non-phototoxic, so daylight is fine — apply under SPF. Whether you layer a moisturizer on top is up to your skin; the oil base is nourishing enough to go alone on many people, but drier skin may want a cream over it to seal everything in.
Most vitamin C serums are water-based and often rely on L-ascorbic acid, which needs a low pH to stay active — that acidity is what may cause the sting, redness, and peeling people sometimes associate with vitamin C. Botanical C uses vitamin C ester in a plant oil base instead. No low pH, no acid, and it cushions and conditions while it works.
There isn't a single number, and that's a real answer rather than a dodge. Our vitamin C comes from a stable vitamin C ester plus botanicals naturally rich in it — rosehip, baobab, acerola, green tea, and sea buckthorn. Because most of it is plant-derived rather than lab-synthesized, it can't be reduced to one percentage the way an L-ascorbic acid formula can.
All skin types, especially dry, dehydrated, or sensitive skin. Botanical C was patch-tested under dermatologist supervision on thirty volunteers with sensitive skin, with an irritancy score of 0.00. As with any product, patch test first if you have known allergies or sensitivities.
Yes. Botanical C plays well with moisturizers, facial oils, and SPF. Apply it to damp skin first, then layer whatever comes next.
