Dry, tight skin that needs comfort that lasts.
A lightweight, deeply nourishing moisturizer built around the lipids healthy skin is made of. Made with jojoba, sunflower oil, squalane, pomegranate sterols and lanolin, for a soft satin finish.
Think of your skin as a brick wall: water hydrates the bricks, and lipids are the mortar that holds them together. The Lipid Lotion blends lipids that work like that mortar with lipids like your skin’s own sebum on top.
Use it after the Hydration Mist so hydration stays in and the difference builds over a few days.

Reclaim your bloom
Hydration gets most of the attention in skincare, but moisture only stays where it is held in. That job belongs to the lipid layer: the waxes, fatty acids and sterols that keep skin soft, flexible and comfortable. Just as the bloom on fruit helps hold in moisture, The Lipid Lotion was created to replenish that layer with skin-compatible lipids like jojoba, sunflower oil, squalane and pomegranate sterols. The result is skin that feels nourished and protected, with a soft satin finish that never feels heavy.
How to use
A little reminder: Your skin produces its own oils, and the amount varies across your face and throughout the seasons. Lipid Lotion is designed to complement your skin's protective lipid environment, so customize how much you use rather than applying more than your skin needs.
a liquid wax that closely resembles skin's own sebum
rich in linoleic acid, an essential fatty acid
a lightweight lipid that adds softness and flexibility
plant lipids that add a velvety cushion and help skin hold moisture
naturally occurring cholesterol and lipids that slow water loss
Formula notes
The Lipid Lotion was developed from a simple question:
What if a moisturizer focused less on adding water and more on replenishing the protective lipids healthy skin naturally depends upon?
This formula was built around ingredients selected for the unique roles they play within a healthy barrier system.
Jojoba is technically a liquid wax ester rather than an oil. Wax esters make up a significant portion of healthy human sebum, making jojoba one of the most biomimetic ingredients available in skincare.
I chose jojoba because it closely resembles the skin's own protective wax layer while remaining exceptionally stable and well tolerated.
Rich in linoleic acid, an essential fatty acid required for healthy barrier function.
Research has demonstrated that linoleic acid plays an important role in moisture retention, balanced sebum composition, and barrier resilience.
Squalane is a stabilized form of squalene, one of the primary lipids naturally present within human sebum.
It helps improve softness, flexibility, and skin comfort while supporting the skin's natural lipid environment.
One of nature's most effective moisture-retention ingredients.
Lanolin is naturally rich in cholesterol and helps create a breathable protective layer that slows water loss while maintaining flexibility and comfort.
I selected lanolin because few ingredients rival its ability to support long-lasting moisture retention.
Included in a small amount for its contribution of naturally occurring cholesterol, fat-soluble vitamins, and supportive fatty acids.
Combined with pomegranate sterols, lanolin, jojoba, and squalane, it helps support the broader lipid environment healthy skin depends upon.
One of the most exciting ingredients in this formula.
Rich in naturally occurring phytosterols, pomegranate sterols have been studied for their ability to support moisture retention and enhance skin resilience.
Their velvety texture creates a luxurious cushion on the skin while supporting long-term barrier function.
Lecithin is naturally present within healthy skin and helps organize lipids into functional barrier structures.
It improves compatibility between the formula and the skin's own lipid layers while supporting the delivery of nourishing oils.
Rich in ricinoleic acid and valued for its ability to soften and condition the skin.
Castor oil contributes lasting comfort while helping stabilize the protective bloom created by the formula.
The Lipid Lotion was created to replenish the waxes, sterols, fatty acids, and protective lipids that help healthy skin remain soft, resilient, and comfortable.
When the bloom layer is supported, the skin is better able to hold moisture, defend itself, and function as nature intended.

Water hydrates, but lipids help hold it in. This formula focuses on the waxes, fatty acids and sterols healthy skin depends on, so moisture stays comfortable for longer.
No. It has a soft satin finish and absorbs without a heavy film.
Face, neck, hands, body and scalp.
Lipids work best over a water-based step, where they help hold that hydration in. Use it after the Hydration Mist and/or Jelly Plump.
Both bring naturally occurring cholesterol and skin-compatible lipids, and tallow is used in a small amount. If you avoid animal-derived ingredients, this one is not for you.
