Renewing Polish // Renewed

Renewing Polish, we love you. The gooey formula that makes us admire our complexion the second you've washed it off. The results are undeniable. Smooth, brand new, fresh skin. The formulation is one of the originals from 2009. True and tested, tested and true. So, how could we possibly make it better?

When we learned about the power behind raw buckwheat honey we had to test it. And we did so for nearly a year.

What we found out

Buckwheat honey is a gorgeously delicious, full-bodied polyphenol-rich dark honey endowed with notable antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. It has been clinically compared to manuka honey, in some instances surpassing its healing and antioxidant activity. This clinical study, also shows buckwheat exhibiting better absorption rate over manuka. So, the more we learned, the more we thought that Raw Buckwheat Honey deserves some spotlight. And, it's in our own Pacific Northwest backyard.

What changed?

Renewing Polish will remain 100% true to its original formula with the substitute of this powerhouse superfood in its raw form. One thing to note is the scent. If you loved the old scent, this scent... the dark molasses, caramel-like notes mixed with rich brown sugar and lemon... It simply must be experienced.

Summer essential

If you're human, you need to exfoliate. Renewing Polish is packed with natural source of glycolic acid, vitamin C, enzymes and minerals. This formulation is the one product that will save your skin from dry patches, sun kisses (buy a hat!) and post blemish marks. Always follow with a toner and a nourishing oil.

Rose Soufflé Cloud Masque - Limited Edition

$ 30.00

Description

Meet the Rose Soufflé, a collagen-boosting, antioxidant-packed masque designed to heal, hydrate, and rejuvenate the skin. We first introduced this innovative formula over a decade ago, as part of a 4 step Spring treatment series. This year, we are bringing this powerhouse masque back as a limited edition treatment.

The pillow-like texture of this gorgeous treatment feels like floating on a cloud of rose petals. The spotlight of the Rose Soufflé is the harmonious sweetness of honey mixed with the Queen of Flowers, the Rose. Potent yet skin soothing ingredients like MSM and Rose harmonize the skin and the senses. Willow Bark is a natural BHA alternative that is extracted from mature willow bark and works like a gentle form of salicylic acid to help to unclog and minimize the appearance of pores. Evening Primrose protects and replenishes skin with high levels of antioxidants.
