Midnight Recovery Concentrate

Facial OilPremiumEvening only
A lightweight PM facial oil blending squalane, evening primrose and lavender essential oil. The lavender isn't trace — it's functional and significant, so skip this if you react to essential oils. For everyone else it's a genuinely pleasant ritual oil.

What's actually doing the work

Squalane
Hydrogenated Squalene / Plant-Derived Squalane
Lipid
A saturated, stable form of squalene — a skin lipid that declines dramatically after age 30. Structurally identical to human skin's natural oil: non-comedogenic, non-irritating, suitable for all skin types. Unlike most plant oils, it is oxidatively stable and will not go rancid. Functions as emollient, mild occlusive, and antioxidant.
