science-backed, proven to work

Drawing upon the disciplines of biochemistry, neuroscience and the social sciences, our formulations support the body's natural circadian rhythm and are rigorously tested in clinical, fMRI and user studies.

expert advice

"When we sleep, our skin's natural repair processes are activated - detoxifying and renewing skin appearance. Transepidermal waterloss is at its highest overnight, meaning a hydrating moisturiser is essential."

geek mode

During the evening and overnight the skin performs natural processes that cleanse and promote skin renewal. It is whilst you sleep that you experience the highest levels of DNA repair, cell proliferations (where new stem cells replace ageing cells). The skin also experiences it's highest temperature and skin permeability contributing to transepidermal water loss.

Melatonin, released during the night, has an anti-oxidant effect which studies suggest protect skin against damaging UV light directly and also by promoting melatonin dependant biological pathways. Shortening our time exposed to darkness reduces the release of melatonin which can contribute to the adverse effects of UV on the skin.

Chronic short sleep and disruption of circadian rhythm are correlated with signs of accelerated skin ageing and diminished skin barrier function.

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).

Results from our 2014 study* showed 97% of deep sleep pillow spray users said they slept better than normal, 98% were more refreshed come morning and 100% said they’d recommend it to a friend.

Oat Amino Acids

Gently exfoliate and buff away dead skin cells as you sleep.

geek mode

Rich in natural proteins, Oat Amino Acids help strengthen the skin’s moisture barrier, improving hydration and preventing water loss. Known for their soothing properties, Oat Amino Acids help calm irritated skin while softening and smoothing the complexion. Ideal for sensitive or dry skin, they leave skin feeling balanced, protected, and visibly healthier.

Copper PCA

Improves skin barrier functions while firming and plumping the skin by promoting collagen and elastin production.

geek mode

Copper PCA is an essential trace element that plays a vital role in maintaining the structure and function of healthy skin. It’s crucial for collagen and elastin production, promoting skin firmness and resilience. You'll recognise it in our formulations by its distinctive naturally blue lagoon colour.

It effectively regulates sebaceous gland activity, making it particularly beneficial for oily skin. By reducing excess sebum production, it helps minimise shine and prevent breakouts. Its astringent and antimicrobial properties work to keep the skin clear and healthy, addressing concerns commonly associated with oily skin types.

Its effectiveness against unwanted pathogens like E. coli makes it ideal for promoting clearer, healthier skin while also supporting overall skin barrier function and hydration. With many adults in the UK, EU and the USA being copper deficient, incorporating Copper PCA into skincare helps replenish this important nutrient and supports a youthful appearance.

Hyaluronic Acid

Quenches thirsty skin by providing deep and adaptive hydration. Skin appears plumper, smoother and revitalised.
shop Hyaluronic Acid

geek mode

Hyaluronic Acid is a powerful yet gentle hydrating ingredient that can hold up to 1,000 times its weight in water. Its small molecules penetrate deep into the skin, replenishing lost moisture in the dermis, which helps combat wrinkles and signs of ageing. As the skin naturally loses water with age, Hyaluronic Acid helps restore hydration, maintaining skin elasticity and smoothness.

This ingredient is particularly effective in adapting to environmental conditions, adjusting moisture absorption based on humidity levels. It also protects skin from UV-induced damage by scavenging reactive oxygen species, helping to prevent sunspots and age spots. This deep hydration promotes better microcirculation, which further enhances skin health and vitality.

By increasing water content in the skin, Hyaluronic Acid helps to give your complexion, a plumper, smoother and firmer appearance. Its derivative, Sodium Hyaluronate, has long been used for its moisturising and wound-healing properties, further enhancing its role in promoting healthy, youthful skin.
