Rose Tulsi Hibiscus Facial Cream

Your face softens into it — cushion at first touch, then it settles in and disappears. Niacinamide at 3% steadies tone and supports the barrier while skin-identical ceramides (NP, AP, EOP, with phytosphingosine) refill what dry air takes out. A fingertip’s worth, pressed into damp skin.

The water phase starts botanical: 4% organic rose and tulsi hydrosols, distilled from the flowers and the herb. Hibiscus arrives twice — cold-weight seed oil at 2% for the lipid layer, flower extract at 0.5% in the water. Sea kelp bioferment at 3% holds moisture at the surface the way marine polysaccharides do: a thin, breathable film you feel as glide, not coating.

Panthenol and allantoin calm. Shea butter and jojoba carry the richness; light plant esters pull it all in so skin finishes soft, not shiny.

Scented lightly, on purpose. A facial cream sits close to your nose all day, so the fragrance load stays low — 0.18%, from a botanical extract, nothing synthetic. Rose leads, floral and unmistakable. Tulsi answers with its herbal green. Underneath, a sweetness of goji berry you almost miss, and a fresh edge of citrus. It settles as the cream does.
