Why it works

The ritual
sealed in.

Step 04 is where everything locks in. A breathable yet nourishing cream that preserves the hydration and actives built up by Steps 01–03, while actively reinforcing the skin's natural lipid barrier.

→

Locks in the ritual

Creates a breathable occlusive layer that seals in the essence and serum actives, maximising their overnight or all-day effectiveness.

→

Barrier repair

Ceramide NP, AP, and EOP mimic the skin's natural lipid ratio, actively repairing compromised barrier function with consistent use.

→

Redness reduction

Madecassoside — a purified extract of Centella Asiatica — calms inflammation and reduces visible redness without irritation.

→

Weightless comfort

Squalane provides deep nourishment without greasiness. Works for all skin types including oily and acne-prone skin.

Key ingredients

What's inside
and why.

Biotech · Barrier

Ceramide Complex

Three types of ceramides (NP, AP, EOP) in the same ratio found naturally in healthy skin. Actively rebuilds the lipid matrix and reduces transepidermal water loss long-term.

Plant · Calming

Madecassoside

The most potent purified active from Centella Asiatica. Reduces visible redness, accelerates skin recovery, and strengthens connective tissue with regular use.

Plant · Emollient

Squalane

A stable, non-comedogenic plant-derived emollient that mimics the skin's natural sebum. Softens without greasiness and supports the skin's own moisture retention system.

African · Nourishing

Shea Butter

Rich in fatty acids and vitamins A and E. Deeply nourishes and provides lasting protection for the outer layers of skin while supporting barrier recovery overnight.

How to use

Step 04
of 05.

Apply after serum

Use once the Step 03 — Serum has fully absorbed. The cream seals everything underneath.

Warm in palms

Take a pea-sized amount and warm between fingertips. This softens the formula for easier, more even application.

Press and blend

Press gently into skin starting from the center of the face outward. A light patting motion ensures even coverage without disrupting the serum layer.

Finish with Step 05

In the AM, follow with Step 05 — SPF Balm for complete protection. In the PM, skin works overnight with this cream as the final layer.

Ritual tip Apply slightly more at night — skin is in repair mode while you sleep and will absorb the extra nourishment. In the morning, one thin layer is enough before SPF.

Step 04 — Cream

Calm. Resilient. Protected.

"The texture is unlike anything I've tried — rich enough to feel nourishing but it disappears into skin completely. Zero greasiness, zero residue. My oily skin loves it."

"I started using this after a chemical peel left my barrier completely wrecked. Within two weeks my skin was calmer than it had been in months. This is now a non-negotiable."
