Bacuri + Monk Fruit - Pressed Facial Serum

A deeply penetrating balm, made with organic, unrefined Amazonian butters (Bacuri, Tucuma & Ucuuba) and 16 other therapeutic herbal oils, this rich, silky serum soothes & lulls troubled, inflamed skin into a calmed, serenely hydrated state. All the ingredients have been intentionally chosen to support your skin’s microbiome and its natural healing process which makes this serum a great option for sporadic breakouts, redness, severe dehydration or simply to elevate your skin’s suppleness and elasticity during a particularly dry, harsh season.

Bacuri Butter : Extracted from the seeds of a beloved local fruit in the north of Brazil, this dark, richly scented, velvety butter is typically used as a treatment against eczema, problematic skin and insect bites. Rich in methionine, it has excellent anti-bacterial & anti-fungal properties.

Tucuma Butter : High levels of lauric, myristic & oleic fatty acids makes this sensorial, creamy butter an excellent emollient with a natural silicone feel that forms a protective barrier over skin without clogging pores or feeling greasy.

Ucuuba Butter : Naturally a very hard butter that has a dry, almost waxy consistency with a warm, smoky scent, we love using Ucuuba for its ability to treat dry, irritated skins and to replenish mature, aging ones. Exceptionally rich in lauric, myristic & palmitic acids to aid in skin regeneration and healthy cell development.

Babassu Oil : An oil that is semi-solid at room temperature, Babassu melts upon contact with skin, and is our key ingredient in combating redness, dryness, itchiness and other discomforts, all with a non-greasy, velvety consistency that feels supremely luxurious.

Buriti Oil : With its high levels of carotenoids, particularly beta-carotene (which gives this potent oil its characteristic golden-orange color), oleic acid and antioxidants, this viscous oil neutralizes free radicals to keep skin soft and is particularly used to target sun damaged, prematurely aging skin. Rich in Vitamin C, it also helps to boost collagen production and cell renewal.

Perilla Oil : A highly nutritious oil, our organic version has been harvested and cold-pressed to preserve its potent content of rosmarinic acid to reduce inflammation and redness in sensitive skins. Over time, Perilla Oil has been shown to fight against harmful bacteria that can cause acne, infections as well as improve the appearance of fine lines & wrinkles.

Copaiba Balsam : This sunshine-colored resin is traditionally used to treat wounds, being ingested as a natural remedy against digestive issues & skin disorders. We use it for its antimicrobial & antifungal properties as well as its spicy, sensuously warm scent to calm and ground the entire formula.

Honey Locust & Monk Fruit : Our in-house maceration of whole Honey Locust pods & the beautifully sweet, rotund Monk Fruit allows us to extract their rich source of natural AHAs that help exfoliate the skin for a more even tone & texture. Monk Fruit has natural humectant properties to bind moisture to the skin to rescue even the most parched, reactive complexions. 

The Scent : Only the magic of Mother Nature and her natural bounty can invoke this earthy, faintly smoky rainforest scent that comes from unrefined Amazonian butters as well as organic Perilla, Buriti and Babassu oils. This grounding aroma creates a calming energy that truly soothes the senses. It then shapeshifts slowly but purposefully to a creamy bouquet with sweet green undertones thanks to Copaiba Balsam, Honey Locust, Monk Fruit and our precious Ambrette.
