5- Ceramide Complex
A biomimetic five ceramide complex that mirrors the lipids naturally found in skin. It helps replenish the moisture barrier, so skin can better hold on to hydration and feel soft, supple, and resilient.
Omega Fatty Acids
Linoleic, oleic, and linolenic acids help restore the nourishing lipids skin needs to feel balanced and comforted. Together, they support a stronger barrier and help reduce the feeling of dryness.
Ashwagandha
An Ayurvedic adaptogenic botanical traditionally used to support balance through stress. In Seal, it helps comfort skin through daily stress, supporting a calm, balanced, and visibly rested-looking complexion.
Bakuchiol
An Ayurvedic botanical and plant-derived alternative to traditional retinol. It helps smooth and soften the look of texture while supporting skin that appears more refined, supple, and renewed over time.
Polyglutamic acid
A powerful hydration-supporting ingredient that helps draw moisture to the skin and keep it there. It leaves skin feeling plump, cushioned, and comfortably hydrated.
Beta-Glucan
A soothing polysaccharide that helps support lasting hydration while comforting the skin. It reinforces the formula’s nourishing feel, especially when skin feels dry or depleted.
Butterfly Pea Flower
Known in Ayurveda as Aparajita, butterfly pea flower brings its vivid blue anthocyanins to support calm, balanced, luminous-looking skin.
The System
Two formulas. One intelligent system.
Start with spark to reveal a more luminous, even-looking complexion. Follow with seal to strengthen the skin barrier and deliver lasting hydration. Each formula offers its own benefits. Used together, they create a more complete system of care.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does seal do, and which skin concerns does it address?
seal is a daily barrier-focused moisturizer designed to address dryness, dehydration, visible redness, and uneven-looking skin texture.
Its formula brings together five biomimetic ceramides, cholesterol, fatty acids, bakuchiol, ashwagandha, and advanced hydrators.
More than simply adding moisture, seal is designed to replenish essential skin lipids, support the protective moisture barrier, and promote a softer, calmer-looking complexion.

How is seal different from a regular moisturizer?
Healthy-looking skin needs more than hydration alone.
seal combines five biomimetic ceramides with cholesterol and fatty acids, reflecting the key lipid families naturally found in the skin's outer barrier.
These work alongside advanced hydrators and skin-conditioning ingredients, including bakuchiol, ashwagandha, and butterfly pea.
Rather than relying on a single moisturizing mechanism, seal brings together complementary approaches to hydration, lipid replenishment, and skin comfort.

What is 3D Hyaluronic Acid, and how does it work in seal?
Hydration is not only about attracting moisture. It is also about helping the skin retain it.
seal incorporates our 3D Hyaluronic Acid approach, using different molecular sizes to provide complementary hydration benefits.
Larger molecules primarily support surface hydration, while smaller molecules can interact with the skin's outermost layers.
This works alongside polyglutamic acid, saccharide isomerate, and seal's biomimetic lipid blend to combine moisture replenishment with barrier-focused care.

Will seal clog my pores or cause breakouts? Is it non-comedogenic?
seal is formulated to be non-comedogenic, delivering nourishing moisture without an unnecessarily heavy feel.
Its carefully balanced combination of squalane, biomimetic lipids, and hydrating ingredients is designed to provide moisture-barrier support while remaining comfortable across different skin types, including oily and combination skin.

Is seal rich or lightweight, and will it work for oily or combination skin?

For dry skin, it offers a comforting moisturizing layer. For oily or combination skin, begin with a smaller amount and adjust according to your skin's needs.
Because moisture-barrier care matters for every skin type.

Is bakuchiol the same as retinol?
No. Although they are often compared, bakuchiol and retinol are different ingredients.
Retinol is a vitamin A derivative, while bakuchiol is a plant-derived compound studied for some overlapping cosmetic benefits, including improvements in the appearance of fine lines and uneven texture.

Can I use seal alongside retinol or other active skincare products?
Yes. seal can generally complement routines containing retinol, vitamin C, and other active skincare ingredients.
Its combination of ceramides, cholesterol, fatty acids, and hydrators provides a nourishing moisturizing step, particularly useful in routines where stronger treatments may leave skin feeling dry.
Because seal also contains bakuchiol, introduce combinations gradually when using strong exfoliants or prescription retinoids.
A well-considered routine is not necessarily a complicated one.

Can I use seal on its own, or should I pair it with spark?
Absolutely. seal is a complete daily moisturizer, designed to provide hydration, lipid replenishment, and moisture-barrier support on its own.
When paired with spark, each formula serves a complementary purpose.
spark focuses on radiance, even-looking tone, antioxidant support, and hydration. seal follows with essential lipids and barrier-focused care.
Together, they form The System, a simple two-step routine designed around the interconnected needs of skin.

Can I use seal during pregnancy or while breastfeeding?
seal is formulated without retinol, other retinoids, or hydroquinone, ingredients commonly recommended for avoidance during pregnancy.
seal does contain bakuchiol and salicylic acid. While bakuchiol is not a retinoid, pregnancy-specific safety information remains limited, and the finished formula has not been specifically evaluated during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
We recommend reviewing the complete ingredient list with your OB-GYN before incorporating seal into your routine.

Does seal contain fragrance?
seal is formulated without added synthetic fragrance.
Its subtle natural aroma comes from the combination of botanical ingredients within the formula, including ashwagandha, bakuchiol, and other carefully selected extracts, rather than from a single fragrance ingredient.
The scent is soft and understated, typically fading within approximately 10 seconds of application, without leaving a noticeable lingering fragrance.
