Facial serum for calming angry skin
This is a potent thin serum, jam-packed with plant actives to help keep bacteria in check and calm down misbehaving skin, with a unique INCI list of unrivalled quality.
The oils in this blend are raw and cold-pressed, extracted without chemical solvents and unrefined to preserve the maximum potency of the plants.
Note from the founder: "I was often asked to make an oil for oily skin, for breakouts, stress pimples, flareups... so here it is! Simmer Down Serum was formulated especially for these things. The scent is earthy and garden-like, to me it's reminiscent of tomatoes, twigs and moss. It smells real, because it is! I wanted the feeling of the label to convey that organic nature. I found the artist Catie St Jacques on Instagram and thought her illustration style was perfectly matched with this serum."
