Nordic Ingredients

Every ritual starts somewhere wild. Ours starts on the coastlines, in the hedgerows and across the bogs of Scandinavia, where a handful of unruly little fruits have spent centuries heartily outlasting the cold, the wind, and the short, precious light.

Sea Buckthorn Oil

This thorny little shrub that clings to rocky Nordic shorelines produces the most improbable orange berries you've ever seen. The sea buckthorn berry tastes and smells golden and faintly tart, carrying its sun-warmed, apricot-like richness into everything it touches. Its oil contains Vitamin E and carotenoids, good for barrier repair and cell regeneration.  What we most love is its feel on your skin: silky, light, and deeply nourishing.

Cloudberry Oil

If sea buckthorn is bold, cloudberry is its shy but strong friend.  Cloudberries grow wild in Arctic and sub-Arctic bogs, each stem producing only a single flower and a single berry each year. They need to be hand-picked, and only during the few short weeks each summer when they ripen. Long considered precious across Scandinavia, Cloudberry oil contains Vitamin C and ellagic tannins, good for brightening and for evening skin tone. We love it for its delicate, honeyed and faintly floral quality that feels soft on the skin, like a summer evening.

Rosehip Oil

Pressed from the seeds of the fruit left behind after the wild rose blooms, rosehip oil is rich, warm, and a little velvety on the skin. Because rosehip oil contains Linoleic Acid, it’s good for smoothing, balancing oiliness, and repairing the skin barrier.   It’s the soothing element in our body oil.

Raspberry Oil

Raspberries are the taste of a Swedish July, picked warm from the garden or the edge of the forest and eaten before they ever make it indoors. The oil comes from the tiny seeds inside, and it is light and silky, quick to soak in, and never greasy. High in omega-3 & 6 and phytosterols, raspberry seed oil soothes inflammation and calms redness. In our body oil, it leaves behind skin that’s soft and a little glowy.

Why we do it this way

Nordic beauty rituals are not about a sixteen-step routine. They are about a handful of things the land gives us, that we can use with care, in a moment worth slowing down for. That's the spirit we're bottling: a few lovely ingredients, chosen for their nourishment and pleasure on your skin.

A moment just for you.
