What's in the bottle?

We are obsessed with finding the highest-quality, most nutrient-rich, and most efficacious ingredients out there. But we also leverage our North Star and choose only those that do more than one thing! That means our ingredients are all multi-tasking, multi-benefit superstars.

We are also dedicated to responsible and ethical sourcing practices that honor people and planet, and rest assured you won't find anything in our formulas that may raise concerns while pregnant, nursing or trying to conceive.

acai berries on tree

Açaí Berry

One of the most nutrient-dense "superfoods" in the world, acai berry oil is especially concentrated in plant sterols and antioxidants. It's an incredible emollient that is extremely moisturizing and strengthening for both skin and hair.We source this gorgeous, deep green, wild-harvested, organic oil directly from a B Corps in Brazil dedicated to renewable agriculture practices that help preserve the Amazon and promote fair trade for local workers.
Bakuchiol

Bakuchiol

Natural alternative to retinol that is non-sun sensitizing or irritating. Can be used for all types of skin: dry, oily or sensitive. Seeds are carefully harvested and has been long used in Ayurvedic medicine. Clinical trials show: After 12 weeks, improved in lines and wrinkles, pigmentation, elasticity, firmness and overall photo-damage, with no irritating effect on skin.·  After 6 weeks, reduced acne by >50%. Bakuchiol is helpful for acne, enhancing cellular turnover, and improving skin firmness while being appropriate for all life stages and sensitive skin.
Stem of Blackcurrants

Black currant

We love this zero-waste ingredient, particularly for the high content of a special Omega 6 - gamma-linolenic fatty acid (GLA). Studies have shown plant oils high in GLA can reduce the symptoms of atopic dermatitis (eczema) in both adults and children. Black currant seed oil is excellent for maintaining a healthy, strong skin barrier - and for treating itchiness, redness and irritation. The high GLA content also nourishes hair follicles and may promote hair growth. We use it in all of our oil-based products.
ceramides in cells

Ceramides

Ceramides make up ~50% of the skin's lipid profile, but get diminished from stressors including pollution, weather, harsh cleansers, hormonal changes, and as we age. They restore barrier function, reduce sensitivity, improve skin texture and firmness and retain moisture. Our plant-derived ceramides are of natural origin, but lab-synthesized for precision, so that they are “skin identical” for optimal efficacy.
chamomile flowers

Chamomile

Chamomile is a fantastic ingredient for soothing skin. Our chamomile extract is standardized to ensure effective levels of the bioactive plant compounds, bisabolol and matricin. These compounds provide incredible anti-inflammatory and regenerative effects, which make chamomile especially effective at calming, and are supportive for dry, mature, damaged and sensitive skin types. We source our organic chamomile extract from sustainable farms in Europe.
CoQ10 powder

CoQ10

This powerful antioxidant protects skin from both chronological aging (loss of firmness in skin as you get older) and photoaging (wrinkling and drying of skin from excessive sun exposure). Clinical studies found that the long-term topical use of CoQ10 effectively reduces wrinkles and protects against environmental stressors. In addition to being one of the best antioxidants and multi-tasking skincare actives,
Oil dispersed sodium hyaluronate

Hyaluronic Acid (Oil Dispersed)

Critical to our skin’s ability to retain water and “bounce”, hyaluronic acid (HA) decreases as we age. HA is a popular ingredient usually found in water-based skincare, but our special oil-soluble, low molecular-weight version is extremely biocompatible and penetrates deep into the skin. It provides excellent hydrating and plumping qualities, and helps both skin and hair feel soft and healthy. In addition to being one of the most effective skin hydrators, hyaluronic acid is safe for pregnancy and breastfeeding.
Jojoba

Jojoba

A unique liquid wax that has a molecular structure that mimics skin sebum, jojoba offers a multitude of skin benefits and is great for all skin types- including oily and acne prone.It is a drought-tolerant plant that can reduce the effects of desertification, and sequester high volumes of CO2. We source our organic, golden jojoba oil from a supplier that does not use pesticides - even for their non-organic crops- and upcycles the seed meal, making it a zero-waste ingredient.
Lavender

Lavender

We love lavender for its naturally gorgeous smell and its skin benefits. It has excellent healing, calming, and antimicrobial properties that help clear and soothe the skin. However, lavender essential oil is the most common form used in skincare. As an essential oil, it is primarily composed of tiny fragrance compounds. This is why, even when diluted, it can lead to contact dermatitis, immediately or over time. Instead, Syll uses a whole herb infusion that - due to the larger molecular structure - is non-irritating and retains it beneficial components. It also imparts a softer, sweeter scent that we love.
Passionfruit growing on a vine

Passion fruit

Fresh, virgin passion fruit (aka maracuja) seed oil is a silky, fast-absorbing cold-pressed oil that is high in skin and hair loving linoleic fatty acid (Omega 6), vitamins A, C & E, and the antioxidant lycopene. Unrefined, cold pressed is hard to find and smells amazing - like the passionfruit pulp - and we're mildly (OK, very) obsessed. We prioritize zero-waste suppliers that utilize sustainable practices that help preserve deforestation and promote fair trade for local workers.
Pomegranate fruit on tree

Pomegranate

Pomegranate oil is a particularly rich source of plant sterols (critical for healthy, moisturized skin) and punicic acid (Omega-5, known to improve skin elasticity and even skin tone). Pomegranate oil is an excellent antioxidant that nourishes, soothes, and stimulates epidermal tissue regeneration.This is a zero-waste, organic product that uses seeds discarded from the juice industry.
Pracaxi Seeds & Pod

Pracaxi

Pracaxi is a unique ingredient because it is the highest known natural source of behenic fatty acid (shown to promote skin elasticity, improve skin discoloration, stretch marks, scarring -- and provide regenerative and softening properties to skin, hair and scalp). It's also a great source of the nourishing Omega 9. Ours is sourced directly from a B-Corps in Brazil working to promote renewable practices that help preserve the Amazon and promote fair trade for local workers.
Rosehip fruit growing on a bush

Rosehip

This nourishing yet clarifying "dry" oil is well-known, but our variety is special. It has higher linolenic acid and bioactive Vitamin A content compared to the common Rosa Canina. The result is superior anti-inflammatory and skin-regenerating properties. It also has less oleic acid, making it more suitable for acne-prone skin types. Our supplier is Fair for Life Certified and this beautiful organic, wild-harvested crop is grown using sustainable water sources from natural runoff. It boosts the efficacy of The Face & Eye One as retinol alternative that is safe for pregnancy and sensitive skin.
branch of sea buckthorn berries

Sea Buckthorn

Sea buckthorn berries will uplevel pretty much anyone's skin. They boast literally hundreds of bioactive compounds such as antioxidants, minerals, vitamins (including C, A, E and B complex) and a unique combination of Omegas 3, 6, 7 & 9. The berries are rich in flavonoids, sterols and skin-loving acids (e.g. malic, tartaric, ferulic).The expansive benefits include skin regeneration, repair, free-radical protection and hyperpigmentation reduction. It softens, soothes and strengthens the skin barrier, helps to promote skin elasticity, and improves hydration. We source our sea buckthorn berry oil from a supplier in the Himalayas, where the plant is able to capture the highest possible nutrient value. They utilize Supercritical CO₂ Extraction to make sure the final product retains the berry's vast bioactive properties. Their self-sustaining organic farm also utilizes circular inputs and prioritizes fair-trade partnerships with local farmers.
Squalane

Squalane

A stabilized version of squalene, which is found in human sebum, squalane is an extremely lightweight, super-fast absorbing emollient that is great for everyone’s skin and hair.Squalane effectively locks in moisture, fights dullness, and reduces skin roughness for smooth, hydrated, vibrant skin. Squalane is also an awesome sustainable silicone alternative, as it protects the hair shaft without weighing it down, reduces frizz, and contributes to shinier hair with less breakage. This is a zero-waste, vegan product sourced from sugar cane or olive oil.
Strawberry

Strawberry

Strawberry seed oil is fast-absorbing and contains many nutrients that contribute to soft, glowing skin and health, shiny hair. It is a uniquely fruity, deliciously fragrant superfruit oil that smells like it's fruity pulp. This oil contains high amounts of essential fatty acids, Omega 6 (linoleic) and Omega 3 (linolenic), to help condition and restore the skin. It also has a high concentration of ellagic acid - a powerful antioxidant that helps preserve and boost collagen, and protect hair and skin from environmental stressors. Sustainability bonus: this is a zero-waste ingredient that utilizes seeds discarded from the fruit juice or jam industries.
Unripe vanilla bean growing on the vine

Vanilla
