Icon Reformulated
Things get better with time and in the case of our beloved Illuminating Serum nothing is more true. Welcome, an improved formulation with the same gorgeous ingredients. An oil-based, anti-oxidant serum-highlighter that can be mixed with skincare or foundation or applied directly to skin for a natural, dewy finish. Because this formulation is so stellar, we are expanding the variants of the Illuminating Serum! A little story behind the name: the original Illuminating Serum shade was nearly named "Drops of Jupiter" back when we first launched it in 2013. We've decided to stick to the original plan and finally name it by it’s official name: Drops of Jupiter.

Why we use Broccoli Seed Oil as the first ingredient in all of our complexion pigments (Illuminating Serum included)
Nature's Glow Getter: This powerhouse oil makes our pigments skincare. It is nature's alternative to silicones that provide the incredible, radiant, skin-like finish.
Packed with Goodness: We use broccoli seed oil as the very first ingredient – undiluted! That means every bottle is brimming with natural forms of skin-loving vitamins like Vitamin C (a UV-protective antioxidant) and Vitamin A (nature's retinol).
Gentle & Effective: Unlike harsh synthetics, broccoli seed oil is milder and gentler on your skin, offering the same benefits without the side effects.
"Unlike any illuminater I’ve used before. Brings such a glow to the skin, it’s lovely."
