Sunlit Nectar
Age gracefully. Glow deliberately.
The Ritual: 3 Steps
60 mL · Step 1 of the Ritual
Over a third of this bottle is jojoba that has been infused with calendula and chamomile flowers — packed loose, covered in oil, and held in a warm water bath for 12 hours until the oil takes on their colour. It cannot be hurried and it cannot be bought ready-made. It is the reason this cleanser pours chiffon yellow rather than clear, and it is the single largest ingredient here.
Camellia, castor, argan and rosehip sit behind it.
Eight to twelve drops onto fingertips and face. Massage in circles for a minute. It loosens with warm water or a damp cloth, taking makeup and sunscreen with it.
Skin feels soft afterwards, not tight.
No water and no preservative. Morning and night, followed by Golden Mist Toner while your skin is still warm.
60 mL · Step 2 of the Ritual
Just under two thirds of this bottle is flower water — rose, rose geranium and Roman chamomile, distilled. Only a fifth is water. Rose alone outweighs it nearly two to one.
There are no essential oils in here and nothing added for fragrance. What you smell is the distillate.
Two to three sprays from 20–30 cm while skin is still warm from cleansing. Pat, don't rub. Then go straight into Soleil while your skin is still tacky — damp.
Morning and night. Most toners lead with water. This one doesn't, and you can smell the difference the moment you open it.
60 mL · Step 3 of the Ritual
Rosehip seed oil is nineteen percent of this bottle — the first ingredient, and more of it than anything else. Seven more oils sit around it: jojoba, argan, squalane, pomegranate, marula, raspberry seed and macadamia, with CoQ10 and vitamin E.
Three to five drops onto tacky skin, straight from the bottle. Gently rub into the face. It is thin enough to move on contact and it disappears into skin in a few minutes.
Skin looks softer and feels less tight.
Morning and night. Allow ten minutes if applying sunscreen.
Eight oils at this concentration is unusual at this price. If you buy one thing from this line, buy this.
How the three are built around each other

I practise Chinese medicine and pedorthics at Jade Wellness in Revelstoke. Facial acupuncture is part of that work, and these are the same three bottles I use for it.
