THE LIGHT CREAM

Inspired by over 30 years of research and innovation, The Light Cream is a refreshing, weightless gel emulsion that harnesses the power of our proprietary skincare technology TFC8® to help skin remain deeply moisturized while mattified. A science-backed blend of clean super-hydrators and potent botanicals including Rice Bran Oil, Triple Hydration Complex, Baobab Leaf Extract, and Australian Lemon Myrtle Extract, targets the root causes of overactive sebum, helping to address inflammation and irritation while offering antioxidant protection against pollution, UV rays and other environmental triggers of unwanted shine. This formula absorbs rapidly into the skin for a beautifully balanced glow.

- TFC8®: A complex of natural amino acids, high-grade vitamins and synthesized molecules naturally found in skin, which guides key nutrients and powerful natural ingredients to the skin cells, creating an optimal environment for the body’s innate processes of repair and renewal.

- Australian Lemon Myrtle Extract: Known as the queen of the lemon herbs, Lemon Myrtle (or Sweet Verbena) is a flowering tree that grows wild in the subtropical rainforests of Queensland. Traditionally used for healing and cooking, this polyphenol-rich botanical helps protect skin against environmental oxidation and aggressors such as pollution that can trigger overproduction of oil, while reducing inflammation and promoting oleostatis (balanced sebum levels).

- Rice Bran Oil: A plant-based antioxidant powerhouse that is also packed with nourishing short-chain fatty acids, for dual protection against free radicals and inflammaging (visible signs of premature aging caused by damage). Its natural emollient qualities also make this multitasking active an excellent source of hydration, for skin that is supple, soft and smooth.

- Triple Hydration Complex: An innovative skincare technology for multi-dimensional moisture. Helps to maintain hydration and firmness of the skin by stimulating cellular cohesion, while forming a protective surface layer to increase water content and actively prevent Trans-Epidermal Water Loss, for a complexion that is fresh, supple and soft.

- Baobab Leaf Extract: A plant-based substance sustainably sourced from Burkina Faso that is known to help improve elasticity and tone in all skin types. Lifts and smooths while improving the appearance of wrinkles and visible signs of fatigue.

- Balancing Duo: A blend of potent botanical compounds derived from wetland grasses and the Poria mushroom, traditionally known for its immune-boosting properties. Strengthens the skin while soothing irritation and inflammation, to improve barrier function and increase resilience from external stressors.

- Aloe Vera: An anti-oxidant rich, anti-inflammatory emollient derived from an ancient semi-tropical plant in the tree lily family. Prized for its powerful soothing and calming properties to rebalance, comfort and reduce redness in irritated, reactive skin, while stimulating cell regeneration and flooding skin with moisture.

- Bio-Optimized Green Tea: A potent form of this ancient healing botanical, specifically derived from its key detoxification molecule, which is known to be 25x more effective than Vitamin C. Relieves inflammation, scavenges free radicals, and inhibits the destruction of collagen, for skin that is smooth, toned and more resilient to daily stressors.

We do not believe that CLEAN products are a must or the answer to every skin care problem. But we want to provide a quick guide for those who want to avoid certain ingredients.

Our Clean Beauty concept is primarily defined by the ingredients you won't find in the products with the CLEAN icon:

BHA (butylated hydroxyanisole), BHT (butylated hydroxytoluene), chemical sunscreens, EDTA, ethanolamines, ethoxylated ingredients (Ceteareth-20, emulsifying wax, PEGS, polysorbate-20, polysorbate-40, steareth-20, sulfates), formaldehyde, methylchloroisothiazolinone and methylisothiazolinone, methylcellulose or 2-methoxyethanol, nitro- and polycyclic musk, parabens, petrolatum and paraffin, phthalates, resorcinol, silicones, animal by-products (with the exception of lanolin and beeswax), toluene, triclosan and triclocarban.
