The Story
This is our ultimate take (well, ultimate for now) on an anti-aging serum with incredible youth-returning powers in an ultra-light, fresh, aloe-gel format. Resiliency has long been a cult favorite among our customers for its ability to fix nearly every skin concern—it has immediate smoothing, firming, depuffing, and brightening effects, and can gradually decrease skin discolorations, dark spots, and scarring over time. We have even had reports of this serum removing skin tags. Resiliency has been one of our most-asked-for products through multiple iterations, and over the years we have updated the formula to make it more suitable for sensitive and allergy-prone skin types. The current Resiliency formula is a soft, fine-textured, non-sticky gel with a host of powerful skin-rejuvenating properties.
Benefits
This formula is incredibly light, yet powerfully effective, with a wealth of healing properties. The rejuvenating serum has strong anti-aging and sun-damage-preventing properties, and works to return a youthful appearance to the skin. Resiliency removes puffiness, heals and reduces acne, reduces fine wrinkles, and lifts and firms the skin for an instantly pulled-together appearance. It can also be used as an eye serum by those who can tolerate more active ingredients on their under-eye skin: it instantly firms and depuffs the under-eye area, and because the light formula absorbs quickly, it works well under makeup.
Carrot seed: The main active ingredient here is carrot seed oil, one of the most effective yet very gentle skin-tissue-regenerating ingredients, which also contains natural sun-blocking and sun-damage-preventing and -correcting properties. This oil is incredibly rich in betacarotene, which makes this gel a great help to anyone with acne tendencies.
Chamomile: We have added anti-inflammatory German blue chamomile to reduce any possible skin irritation and redness.
Helichrysum: Also called Italian everlasting, helichrysum is one of the top oils for scar and other spot reduction and for wrinkle reversal, and is also used in wound and burn healing by medical aromatherapists. We use a carefully sourced helichrysum from Bosnia. (We are no longer using Corsican helichrysum due to concerns about overharvesting in the region.)
Aloe leaf juice: The high content of top-quality, truly minimally processed aloe plus a touch of spearmint offers a slightly cooling and definitely de-puffing quality. Our organic aloe juice is thickened with xanthan gum (rather than with carbomer, like some other varieties), which means it is 100 percent natural, vegan, and ideal for use on sensitive skin.
The gentle preservative used in this formula is ECOCERT approved for use in certified organic cosmetics. We have also updated the formula to use natural, vegan xanthan gum as its thickener and gel-maker. The environmentally friendly xanthan gum gives the serum a soft, delicate texture and makes it suitable even for use on sensitive and allergy-prone skin.
Skin Types
For all skin types, especially mature, wrinkled, acne-prone, scarred, combination, and lacking firmness.

Due to the very high cost of our ingredients and the labor-intensive (highly time consuming) small-batch production process, we are unable to accept returns of opened or unopened products at this time. But most products have a sample size option for purchase, so we encourage you to buy a sample first to ensure that the product suits your skin's needs and that you enjoy the texture, fragrance, and healing properties.
