During summer, the skin's surface pH rises and sebum production increases, causing the microbiome to shift. UV exposure generates free radicals that deplete the skin's antioxidants, while the barrier works harder to retain moisture. The result is skin that may feel oilier, yet become more reactive, congested, and dehydrated.
 
Healthy summer skin depends on three things: a barrier that can retain moisture, antioxidant protection that limits damage from daily UV exposure, and a balanced microbiome that helps regulate inflammation.
 
French plum, camellia, jojoba, and Kalahari melon replenish the lipids that make up the skin barrier, reducing water loss while keeping skin smooth and supple. Calendula, hibiscus, cranberry, pomegranate, rosehip, and vitamin E provide carotenoids, polyphenols, and tocopherols that help neutralize free radicals generated by daily UV exposure, preserving a brighter, calmer, more resilient complexion. Balsam fir, copaiba, frankincense, gotu kola, and spilanthes help maintain a balanced microbiome, supporting the beneficial microbes that regulate inflammation and barrier function while reducing congestion, redness, and reactivity.
