Why this one
For skin that still feels thirsty by afternoon.
- What it does
- Gives skin water, not oil. That's usually the missing part.
- How it feels
- A cactus-bloom dollop that sinks in and stays put.
- How to use
- Morning. 2 or 3 drops on damp skin, then moisturizer and SPF.
A chrysalis is where the change happens.
What's in it
Saccharide Isomerate
A plant sugar that grabs water and holds on, so your face still feels hydrated at 2 PM.
Ceramide NP
Something your skin already makes to keep water in. This one just tops it up.
Polyglutamic Acid
Holds a lot of water for its size, so skin feels plumper without feeling greasy.
Prickly pear cactus
The cactus-bloom part. A desert plant that knows a thing or two about hanging onto water.
Made for my own face first.
The chemistry, if you want it
Ceramide NP. The exact lipid your skin's barrier is built from replenishes what daily wear strips away, so moisture stays where it belongs.
Saccharide Isomerate. A plant-derived humectant that bonds to your skin's natural moisture-binding sites for deep, lasting hydration.
Polyglutamic Acid. Pulls water into the deeper layers of skin, plumping from the inside without heaviness or shine.
Niacinamide. Supports the skin barrier and helps skin retain moisture over time.
Ceramide NP supports the layer that holds moisture in. Saccharide Isomerate pulls water into the deeper layers of skin.
