Traditionally Innovative: TCM Skincare for the Modern Age

Traditionally Innovative: TCM Skincare for the Modern Age

It feels like it’s been a lifetime of imagining, researching, experimenting, testing, and refining our new line of skincare–and in a way, it has. Having dealt with so many skin issues throughout my life, and firmly believing in the holistic treatment approach that pairs internal remedies and lifestyle factors with topical bioactives, our foray into more explicit skincare offerings was only natural. As true to our mission as ever, these new products reflect our passion for exploring and sharing ancient wisdom that supports modern wellness. Of course, we prioritize practices and traditions that deeply nourish the essence so it can exude radiance far into the future. 


In the same way that Yin and Yang complement one another to cultivate balance and wholeness, our skincare duo is a synergistic pair. Together, this treatment regimen provides comprehensive support for a wide variety of concerns, expertly protecting from environmental stressors and stimulating the skin’s remarkable capacity for regeneration on a cellular level. Though rich in its own benefits, the Hydrating Botanical Mist is a precursor, helping the skin more deeply receive the healing facilitated by our Copper Peptide Serum. 


The Copper Peptide Serum perfectly represents the powerful merging of Eastern herbs with Western actives in a way that creates something groundbreakingly innovative, yet grounded in time-tested wisdom. With 14 key active ingredients, this offering is wildly “extra” but phenomenally functional, and each compound has been carefully chosen for the special layer of value that it adds to the formula. Much more than the sum of its parts, these bioactives build upon one another to target every possible skincare angle in support of multi-directional healing. 


While each ingredient plays an important role, there are two stars that really make this product shine. Copper Tripeptide-1 is a peptide complex that prompts the skin to increase the production of collagen, elastin, and glycosaminoglycans, providing essential structural support for firm, youthful skin. Our serum uniquely contains a remarkable clinical strength 0.75% copper peptide concentration that stimulates meaningful repair from deep within. Apple Stem Cells support tissue regeneration, as well as the longevity and vitality of dermal stem cells, thus helping to repair the skin barrier and promote optimal cellular function. This bioactive is prized for its power to affect long-term skin health, enhancing the skin’s ability to renew itself over time, which naturally slows down with age.


The rest of the serum’s potent bioactives harmoniously work together to soothe, protect, hydrate, and heal in different ways:

Boswellia Hydrosol – soothes and softens the skin, helps tame inflammation

Green Tea Extract – potent antioxidant, protects against oxidative stress

Butterfly Bush Extract – helps protect from blue light exposure and environmental stress

Brazilian Ginseng Extract (Pfaffia) – reinvigorating, supports circulation, promotes elasticity

Muira Puama Extract – enhances skin vitality, traditionally used for toning

Madonna Lily Extract – brightening, improves skin tone and helps with pigmentation

Schizandra Berry Extract – strengthens and repairs the skin barrier, antioxidant protection and dermal detoxification support

Portulaca (Purslane) Extract – rich in vitamins, calming and anti-inflammatory

Tremella Mushroom Extract – deeply hydrating and plumping, supports a healthy skin barrier, natural and more powerful alternative to hyaluronic acid

Gotu Kola Extract – boosts collagen synthesis, promotes wound healing, barrier support

Kakadu Plum Extract – high in vitamin C, brightens and firms the skin, supports moisture retention

Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E) – antioxidant, supports skin repair, improves texture


The Hydrating Botanical Mist prepares the skin by delivering moisture directly to the cells, allowing the serum to then seal and lock that hydration in. These products complement one another by first supplying deep nourishment, and then forming a protective barrier that supports the Wei Qi (TCM’s conceptual shield). Boasting a rich profile of bioactives, the mist also brings support to a range of skincare concerns with its cooling, toning, and reparative properties.

Together, our new skincare duo supports healing that is decidedly more than skin-deep. By targeting the cellular level, we invite the spirit of regeneration into our reality, while strengthening the barrier enhances our protective shield. As always, our holistic approach prioritizes support on multiple levels; while there are many tonic herbs that we can ingest to support our beauty and radiance, our skincare offerings now make it even easier to expertly nourish your skin.
