Botanical Wisdom

Quandong and Desert Lime are desert survivors. They store what is precious, water, deep within. This ritual invites the skin to learn the same rhythm: to take in, hold, and protect water slowly. To be nourished, not overwhelmed.

Ritual Note

Let each layer land like morning dew on thirsty ground. Slow down. This is not just hydration, it’s replenishment.

Pair With + Tips

  • Barrier repair: Add B3 + B5 Serum beneath oil

  • Winter boost: Use Banksia Night Cream instead of or with Moisturiser

  • Morning prep: Perfect under sunscreen and makeup for smoother texture

  • Dehydrated but oily skin: Use mist + HA + moisturiser only — skip oil when needed

Educational Sidebar

What’s the difference between dry and dehydrated skin? Dry skin lacks oil. Dehydrated skin lacks water. You can be oily and dehydrated, especially after travel, sun exposure, or over-cleansing.

Do I need all 5 steps? Only if your skin is truly thirsty. On minimal days, try cleanser → mist → moisturiser. But when your skin is calling out, layering water + oil is key.

Did You Know? When applied to damp skin, Jojoba Oil not only nourishes but helps lock in water, enhancing hydration instead of replacing it.
