The Go-To Moisturizer

A light, lasting moment of escape

Formulated for all stages of motherhood
Dermatologist founded and tested
Safe for sensitive skin

As a dermatologist and a mom, I needed a long-lasting moisturizer that felt like a light hug for my face—one that kept my skin comfortable and hydrated from drop-off all the way to bedtime. So I created this lightweight cream to deliver lasting hydration, layer beautifully under makeup, and actually improve your skin over time. No heaviness. No greasy film. Just a hint of sandy green woods and a mini mental vacation.
How to Use
  1. AM or PM after applying any actives like vitamin C or retinoids, warm a dime sized amount in your palms.
  2. Smooth over face and neck.
  3. This is enough. You are, too.

I Made This for Us

I wanted a moisturizer that does more than feel good for five minutes. So I chose concentrated lipids that speak your skin's language (ceramides, cholesterol, fatty acids in the ratio your barrier actually recognizes) and glycerin, a humectant that's been trusted in dermatology for decades because it works.

That hydrated, no-midday-flakiness, "my skin just feels good" feeling? That's your barrier finally getting what it needs. We all need a support system.

5-Second Answers from Dr. Aegean

You just want someone to tell you what actually works. My job is to look at the actual research and tell you what really matters, without the fear and without the confusion.
Is this moisturizer non-comedogenic and okay for breakout-prone skin?

Yes, this moisturizer was evaluated through independent non-comedogenic testing, a standard dermatologic assessment to determine whether a product is likely to clog pores when used as directed. In testing, the formula did not show a tendency to contribute to comedone (clogged pore) formation. As with all skincare, individual responses can vary, but the testing supports that it is appropriate for acne- and breakout-prone skin.
Is this appropriate during pregnancy and postpartum, including breastfeeding?

Yes, which means one less thing to second-guess. This moisturizer was thoughtfully formulated for all stages of motherhood, including pregnancy and postpartum. Each formula is reviewed by an independent toxicologist and developed using ingredients with well-established safety profiles at conservative concentrations. For more information, read our full Safety Statement.
Is this safe for sensitive skin?

Yes, this moisturizer was formulated with sensitive and reactive skin in mind. It has been evaluated through an independently administered Repeat Insult Patch Test (RIPT), including individuals with sensitive skin—a standard dermatologic test used to assess irritation potential over time. While no product can be guaranteed for everyone, this testing supports that the formula is well-tolerated when used as directed, even for sensitive skin.
