OUR INGREDIENTS
Do you know up to 10% of global greenhouse gases comes from food that is produced, but not eaten?
Food waste is a pervasive problem all around the world, not just among developed nations. Currently, over 800 million people are suffering from severe malnutrition, a shocking thought when one-third of all the food that is intended for human consumption is wasted or lost. Food waste negatively affects the environment, the economy, food security, and nutrition
Roughly one-third of the food produced that is intended for human consumption every year- around 1.3 billion tons and valued at USD$1 trillion- is wasted or lost. This is enough to feed 3 billion people. (source: earth.org)
Moreover, if food loss was a country, it would be the third-largest greenhouse gas emitter, behind China and the US. (source: earth.org)
Being on a mission to create ‘low-waste superfood skincare’, we are always looking to incorportae a circular economy model – avoiding reliance on fossie fuels and virgin raw materials . To achieve this goal, we collect lots of discarded seeds from local food suppliers and cold press them to produce unique antioxidant rich oils for our skincare formulations. By doing so, we are converting waste into treasure – utilising perfectly nutritious raw materials that would otherwise be disposed of.
''We design our products keeping the health of our skin and planet in mind''

Function/Properties
Cranberry seed oil provides a heaping dose of omega fatty acids. This alone isn’t all that extraordinary; plenty of other plant oils are chock full of omegas. What makes cranberry oil truly unique is the particular proportion of omegas. It imparts a 1:1:1 ratio of omegas 3, 6, and 9.
Omega 3 works in this trio by fighting inflammation and protecting the skin against oxidative damage. Omega 6 assists in strengthening and replenishing skin’s barrier. Omega 9, though not an essential fatty acid like the other two, still plays an important role in the oil’s texture. It lends an emollient quality that leaves skin feeling smooth and supple.
When combined, they offer a lot in terms of protecting and restoring skin’s overall health. Most importantly, this balanced ratio lends itself to a quick-absorbing oil that sinks in beautifully and never feels heavy on the skin.
The oil from cranberry seeds contains tocopherols and tocotrienols—potent forms of vitamin E that soothe skin and fight free radical damage. It also contains polyphenols, which are among the most powerful and efficient forms of antioxidants.

This lightweight oil fights acne, inflammation, and signs of premature aging.

Grapeseed oil contains high levels of linoleic acid which can help improve your skin’s moisture level by reducing transepidermal water loss (where the skin loses water to the surrounding environment via evaporation). It’s also anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial, making it an ideal sidekick in your fight against breakouts. The antioxidants found in grapeseed oil, such as vitamin C, vitamin E, and proanthrocyanidin, can help to prevent and undo pollution and UV-induced free radical damage to the skin.
Besides fatty acids, grapeseed oil contains polyphenols, which help fight premature aging. “Polyphenols have been known to not just slow the aging process, but reverse signs of aging, like sun spots, fine lines, and wrinkles.
