Blue Velvet

Our Blue Velvet takes on more of a green hue, a luxurious skincare innovation that seamlessly marries the timeless elegance of Korean beauty (K-beauty) principles with the purity and sustainability of clean beauty. This exquisite oil is crafted to deliver a silky, dewy finish to the skin, reminiscent of the radiant glow that K-beauty is renowned for.

The Essence of Silk and its Asian Heritage

Our star ingredients contain:

Camellia Seed Oil

• What It Is: Extracted from the seeds of the Camellia plant, also known as Tsubaki in Japan and Korea, this oil has been a beauty secret in East Asia for centuries.

• Benefits:

  • Rich in omega-6 fatty acids and antioxidants like vitamin E, it deeply nourishes and protects the skin.

  • Lightweight and easily absorbed, it hydrates without clogging pores, making it suitable for all skin types, including sensitive and acne-prone.

  • Improves skin elasticity, giving a youthful, plump appearance.

• K-Beauty Connection: Camellia seed oil aligns with Korean beauty's focus on hydration and long-term skin health, making it a staple in many traditional and modern skincare products.

Blue Tansy

Features a star ingredient: our premium-grade, true blue tansy. Rich in chamazulene, this potent extract effectively minimizes skin sensitivity, offering relief from inflammation and irritation. Its vibrant blue essence also serves as a powerful vasoconstrictor, helping to tone and revitalize tissues while reducing redness and calming hypervascularized, vasodilated areas—making it a game-changer for conditions like rosacea.

• Clean Beauty Appeal: Blue tansy oil is often a hallmark of clean beauty due to its natural, effective skin-soothing abilities and eco-conscious sourcing.

Sea Buckthorn Berries:

We could not resist adding this to our formulation, and so this is why the oil has a green hue from the vibrant orange berries of the most nutritional plant profile. This is packed with vitamins A, C, E and Omega-3, 6, 7 + 9.

Vitamin: A: contain alpha- and beta-carotene, which produce vitamin A, which can help reduce fine lines.

Vitamin C contain about 10 times the amount of vitamin C as an orange, which can help brighten skin, even out skin tone, and prevent premature signs of aging.

Vitamin E: an antioxidant that helps with free radicals and oxidative stress.

Omega-7

Sea buckthorn oil contains omega-7, which can promote collagen synthesis and suppress inflammation

Gamma-linolenic acid

Sea buckthorn oil contains gamma-linolenic acid, an omega-6 fatty acid that can help reduce signs of aging.

Squalane

What It Is: A highly stable, lightweight oil derived from plants (like olives or sugarcane), squalane is a bio-identical match to the skin’s natural oils.

• Benefits:

  • Deeply hydrates by mimicking the skin's own sebum, balancing oil production and locking in moisture.

  • Non-comedogenic and fast-absorbing, leaving no greasy residue.

  • Improves skin’s texture, reduces the appearance of fine lines, and supports the skin barrier.

• Clean Beauty Connection: Squalane is a clean beauty favorite because it’s plant-derived, biodegradable, and an excellent alternative to traditional, animal-sourced emollients.

Marula Oil

• What It Is: Extracted from the kernels of the marula fruit, native to Southern Africa, this oil is prized for its rich concentration of fatty acids and antioxidants.

• Benefits:

  • Packed with oleic acid, it provides intense hydration, making it ideal for dry or mature skin.

  • High levels of antioxidants like vitamin C and E protect against environmental stressors and promote skin repair.

  • Reduces redness and irritation, while also improving skin elasticity and smoothness.

• Sustainability: Marula oil is often sustainably sourced from wild-harvested fruits, supporting local communities and aligning with clean beauty values.

At the heart of this product lies the inspiration of silk—a material deeply rooted in Asian culture, particularly celebrated in Korea, China, and Japan for centuries. Silk symbolizes elegance and refinement, and its use in skincare evokes the same qualities. Silk proteins, rich in amino acids, are known to help the skin retain moisture, improve elasticity, and create a smooth, luminous complexion. Cerulean Silk Oil incorporates these benefits, offering a sensory experience that feels like a veil of silk gliding onto your skin.

The color "cerulean," a serene shade of blue, is a nod to the calming and soothing effects this oil provides, both for the skin and the senses.

How is it K-Beauty?

Multi-Step Skincare Philosophy

K-beauty emphasizes a multi-step routine that focuses on building hydration and layering lightweight products for optimal skin health. Cerulean Silk Oil fits perfectly as a final step to lock in moisture or as a hydrating layer within a routine. Its silky texture and quick absorption align with the K-beauty ethos of achieving glowing, "glass skin" without heaviness.

Korean Ingredients and Inspirations

Silk, a material with deep roots in Asian culture, including Korea, has traditionally been used in textiles and now inspires skincare. While silk proteins are celebrated for their ability to hydrate and smooth, Cerulean Silk Oil draws on K-beauty innovation by enhancing the formula with clean, botanically sourced oils and extracts, inspired by Korea’s use of natural, gentle ingredients like rice bran and fermented botanicals.
