Founder's Note

“It really is my base for anything in the morning and evening. It’s the first thing I use on my skin after it’s washed. The intention is to soothe, prep, and nourish with a boost of moisture. I can’t live without it!”

    Part of my routine now!

    I wear the Base Face Milk under the Super Serum Face Tint and under a heavier moisturizer at night. I have dry sensitive skin and this face milk calms and moisturizes .

    Perfect Base

    The base milk is silky smooth and doesn’t dry out or irritate my sensitive skin.

    Great Product!

    I’m at the age of really needing to care for my skin! Many products I’ve tried are irritating, and I welcome this beautiful product. No irritants, and leaves my skin refreshed.

    Feels good

    I use it under primer & foundation and it works well. I have mature skin so I do use a different moisturizer when no makeup, but this feels like a splash of milk & does leave skin feeling soft.
