This age-defying gel blends plant-based potency with functional actives that target dullness, fine lines, and uneven skin tone. Moringa — called “the miracle tree” — is rich in antioxidants, helping detoxify and restore tired skin. Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) boosts elasticity and controls pigmentation, while green tea and aloe calm inflammation and hydrate.
Inspired by the fusion of South Asian herbal traditions and minimalist modern skincare, this gel has a fresh, green tint (from natural chlorophyll) and a light, non-sticky texture — suitable for layering under moisturizers, oils, or makeup. With consistent use, it can enhance your skin’s suppleness and visibly smooth fine lines.
