Our Functional Fragrance blend has been shown to prepare you for sleep, dispel anxiety and improve restorative sleep.

Aside from smelling luxuriously inviting, our Deep Sleep Functional Fragrance interacts with the limbic system — the area of the brain associated with emotions, pleasure and calmness — when tested in an fMRI study in 2017, which indicated that the fragrance has the potential to encourage a pre-disposition towards sleep.

Studies, testing our pillow spray vs a placebo on 200 male and female panelists with mild sleep anxiety, found that using deep sleep pillow spray before bedtime helped them fall asleep faster, enjoy a deeper sleep, feel less anxious before sleep and less tired in the morning (and throughout the day).

Granactive Retinoid, or Dimethyl Isosorbide, is a 10% advanced retinoid complex which offers superior skin benefits. Unlike traditional retinol, this innovative formula has a much lower irritation profile, making it safe for sensitive skin and suitable for use around the delicate eye area. Users can expect smoother skin, reduced wrinkles, unclogged pores, and lightened superficial brown spots, resulting in a more radiant and youthful complexion.

This retinoid complex includes Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate (HPR), a powerful non-prescription ester of all-trans retinoic acid. HPR outperforms many other retinoids, including retinol and retinyl palmitate, delivering enhanced anti-ageing effects without the harsh side effects typically associated with retinoid use. The result is firmer, tighter skin with improved texture and a more even skin tone.

With its low irritation index and enhanced stability, Granactive Retinoid makes it an effective anti-ageing solution without compromising comfort or safety, ensuring visibly improved skin clarity and softness.

Vitamin E, a natural skin-conditioning agent and antioxidant. It is commonly used in formulations to increase the moisturisation of the horny layer improving the skin surface relief, increase the enzyme activity in the skin, prevent skin damage induced by free radicals; Protect the skin against sun burn, can increase the sun protecting factor (SPF) Protection against damage by reactive oxygen.

A unique bio-functional complex of Vitamin E that helps reduce the appearance of redness and swelling, evening skin tone and helping to conceal imperfections. Vitamin E is a naturally occurring a-tocopherol derivative and has been detected in several human tissues and plants. In this form, it is said to regulate cell inflammation and act as an antioxidant.

When Vitamin E is effectively delivered to the outer epidermis through topical formulations, it reduces many of the symptoms associated with sensitive skin such as redness, irritation, swelling and itching.

As a sensitive skin treatment, Vitamin E is very mild and particularly effective for anti-acne, anti-ageing, anti-wrinkle action. It reduces the appearance of redness and swelling of acne and minimises redness and irritation caused by UV exposure, acting as an effective after-sun treatment. It also strengthens resistance to inflammation caused by environmental stress, decreases skin's sensitivity to harsh environmental factors, and reduces stinging, redness and burning caused by abrasion.
