Emerald · Calm & Restore

Calm skin, without the strip‑and‑flare cycle.

Emerald pairs chlorella, a freshwater algae, with blue tansy in a waterless oil made for redness-prone, reactive skin. It works with your barrier instead of against it.

  • Soothes the look of redness. Blue tansy is rich in chamazulene, a naturally calming compound.

  • Feeds skin instead of stripping it. Chlorella brings omega fatty acids and carotenoids straight to your skin.

  • Made for skin that reacts. No water, no synthetic preservatives or fragrance, on a base close to your skin’s own oils.

Why Emerald is different

Four jobs, one bottle.

Reactive skin usually gets a separate product for every job, and every extra bottle is another chance to flare. Emerald does four of them in one waterless step.

A single drop of Emerald in the centre, surrounded by four jobs: calm, feed, seal and protect. A light travels around the ring and each job lights up in turn.
  • CalmBlue tansy soothes the look of redness and heat.
  • FeedChlorella brings omega-3, -6 and -9, the fats your barrier is built from.
  • SealSqualane and jojoba lock moisture in without feeling heavy.
  • ProtectChlorella’s natural carotenoids add antioxidant support.

Fewer products, fewer chances to react.

Straight answers

My skin reacts to almost everything. Will it react to this?

Emerald was made for that skin: no water, no synthetic preservatives, no synthetic fragrance, and a base close to your skin’s own oils. Blue tansy is a botanical, so if you’re very reactive, patch-test on your jaw for a few nights first.

Won’t an oil make me break out?

Squalane and jojoba are close to your skin’s own oils, so they sink in rather than sitting on top, and both are considered non-comedogenic. Oil isn’t the enemy. Stripping is.

Why is it a night product?

Your skin does most of its repair overnight, and Emerald is made for those hours. Make it the last step before bed. For daytime, that’s what Ruby is for.

Can I use it with my other products?

Yes. It goes on last, over any serum or treatment. If you use prescription skincare, check with your dermatologist first.

When will I notice a difference?

Skin feels calmer and more comfortable from the first night. A calmer, more even look builds over weeks of nightly use.

Is it vegan?

The oil is. The salve uses beeswax to seal moisture in overnight, so it isn’t.

A single chlorella cell divides into two, then four, then settles back into one and begins again. 1 → 2 → 4

The algae behind it

An algae that rebuilds itself in a day.

Chlorella has lasted more than two billion years by renewing itself fast. In good conditions, one cell becomes four in about a day. We grow ours in sealed freshwater tanks and extract it into oil, so its fat-soluble nutrients make it into the bottle.

Farm-to-Face

Cultivated with care, not in a corporate lab.

For a long time, we couldn't find what we were looking for. There were harsh prescription treatments on one side, and feel-good natural products with little science behind them on the other. Nothing in between — especially not for sensitive skin.

So we did the research ourselves.

My wife has always been passionate about skincare — the rituals, the ingredients, what actually works and why. I came at it from a different angle. I'd struggled with acne most of my life, and I'd also become fascinated with microalgae — not just as an ingredient, but as one of the most important organisms on the planet. The more scientists study it, the clearer it becomes: algae is going to play a significant role in how humans live and eat sustainably. That felt worth paying attention to.

When we started combining those two interests — her deep knowledge of what skin actually needs, and my obsession with what algae is capable of — something clicked. We spent months researching, formulating, and testing on ourselves. What we discovered is that the skin doesn't need more actives thrown at it. It needs ingredients that work with it, delivered in a way the skin already understands.

These products came out of that process. They're what we actually use. Every morning, the two of us still do our skincare rituals together — and that hasn't changed since the beginning.
