City is a lightweight defense serum formulated to address the visible effects of environmental factors while brightening and revitalizing the complexion. This antioxidant face oil targets the specific challenges faced by skin in urban environments with a blend of antioxidants and brightening agents. Its formulation provides protection without heaviness, making it suitable for all skin types and particularly beneficial for those in high-pollution areas.

Antioxidant Oil for Face

The serum combines botanical oils rich in essential fatty acids that help maintain the skin's lipid barrier. Rice bran oil provides a stable, non-comedogenic base, while hemp seed, camelina, raspberry, and cranberry seed oils contribute complementary fatty acid profiles and natural antioxidants. Plant-derived hemisqualane enhances spreadability and absorption without residue. As an antioxidant oil, City delivers broad-spectrum environmental defense in a texture that works for all skin types.

City's brightening capabilities come from vitamin C (as tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate), niacinamide, and licorice root extract—ingredients shown to reduce hyperpigmentation, even skin tone, and enhance radiance. Used as a tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate serum, City addresses dullness caused by environmental exposure, inflammatory responses, and natural aging processes without causing irritation. This THD ascorbate serum delivers results as a brightening face oil that visibly improves luminosity with consistent use.

As a comprehensive anti pollution skincare solution, City features a multi-layered antioxidant system. Beyond vitamins C and E, the formula incorporates specialized botanical extracts including olive leaf, edelweiss, and elderberry that provide broad-spectrum protection against various environmental factors. This brightening oil neutralizes free radicals and supports the skin's own protective mechanisms, reducing reactivity and supporting long-term skin health.

Scented version is an evergreen/herbal blend of yarrow, black spruce, clary sage and geranium. Unscented naturally smells a little like fresh cut grass.
