Key Ingredients + Origins

Quandong (Santalum acuminatum) – WA + SA deserts
Brightens and hydrates with bioflavonoids, rutin, and desert-adapted resilience.

Hyaluronic Acid – Biotech-derived from fermented glucose
Draws and binds water deep into the skin for all-day hydration.

Emu Apple (Kunzea pomifera) – South Australia
Soothes irritation and boosts hydration with natural waxes and antioxidants.

Desert Lime (Citrus glauca) – QLD + NSW
Protects against dehydration and promotes moisture retention.

Layering Logic

Cleanse → Mist → HA Serum → Moisturiser → SPF (AM only)
For deeper hydration, mist again after serum before moisturiser.

When + How to Use

Use: AM + PM
How:

  • AM: Full ritual before SPF

  • PM: Repeat without SPF

  • Use daily or build into other rituals for an added hydration layer

Botanical Wisdom

Quandong and Desert Lime don’t just survive in drought, they thrive. This ritual follows their logic: draw water in, hold it, seal it. Hydration is a rhythm, not a single step. When performed slowly and mindfully, your skin learns to remember water again.

Ritual Note

Let hydration be the softest ritual. Not a flood, a return. A quiet reintroduction of water to land.

Pair With + Tips

  • With Jojoba Oil: Add at night to seal moisture during sleep

  • With B3 + B5 Serum: For stressed or sensitive skin needing hydration + calm

  • In summer: Use as a light ritual under SPF

  • For deep winter skin: Mist between every step for hydration layering

Educational Sidebar

What’s the difference between hydration and moisture? Hydration = water. Moisture = oil. This ritual delivers hydration (via mist + hyaluronic acid) and locks it in with a moisturiser, preventing evaporation and supporting skin’s long-term resilience.

Can oily skin be dehydrated? Yes. Many people over-strip their skin, leading to dehydration beneath the surface oil. This ritual rehydrates without heaviness, ideal for all skin types.

Did You Know? Quandong can survive years of drought by storing water at the cellular level. This same mechanism is echoed in the humectants and antioxidants within this ritual, helping skin retain water from within.
