Unseasonal Kind ™ Lipid Replenishment Oil
About This Formula
The skin's surface lipids — squalene, CoQ10, and vitamin E — are the first line of defense against the oxidative and environmental accumulation that ages skin from the outside in. They decline naturally with age and deplete faster than the body replenishes them under the sustained conditions of modern life — UV exposure, pollution, chronic stress, and the nutritional gaps that leave the skin's antioxidant reserves consistently short.
Unseasonal Kind was formulated to give back what daily life consistently takes. Nineteen plant-based oils, selected for their bio-compatibility and their specific contribution to the skin's lipid and antioxidant environment — not as a single hero oil elevated above the rest, but as a complete botanical system. Each ingredient present for what it does. Each season of the year accounted for.
Esthetician developed. Made without parabens, fragrance, phthalates, or dyes. Sustainably manufactured in the United States.
The Formulation
Unseasonal Kind is built around plant-derived squalane — bio-identical to the skin's own squalene, weightless, non-comedogenic, and deeply compatible with every skin type. Alongside it, micro-encapsulated CoQ10 protects mitochondrial function and provides targeted antioxidant defense precisely where surface lipid oxidation begins. Two forms of vitamin E — water and fat-soluble — provide antioxidant coverage across every cellular environment. And Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate, an oil-soluble vitamin C, converts to L-ascorbic acid after absorption — delivering collagen synthesis support and antioxidant defense without pH instability or barrier disruption.
The remaining botanical oils each address a specific dimension of lipid replenishment — from sea buckthorn's exceptional omega-7 concentration to rosehip's vitamin A precursors, prickly pear's anti-inflammatory fatty acids, and strawberry and raspberry seed oils' ellagic acid photoprotection. Together they form a bio-identical lipid environment that the skin recognizes and integrates with a compatibility that synthetically constructed alternatives do not achieve.
Plant-Derived Squalane — Bio-identical to the skin's own squalene. Protects, nourishes, and supports barrier function without comedogenic weight.
Micro-Encapsulated CoQ10 — Targeted antioxidant defense that protects mitochondrial function and surface lipids from oxidative depletion.
Vitamin E — Two Forms — Water and fat-soluble tocopherols providing antioxidant coverage across all cellular environments.
Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate (Vitamin C) — Oil-soluble vitamin C that supports collagen synthesis and antioxidant defense without barrier disruption.
Sea Buckthorn — Among the highest natural concentrations of omega-7 available in any plant oil. Supports barrier repair and skin recovery.
Rosehip Seed Oil — Vitamin A precursors and essential fatty acids that support cellular renewal and collagen synthesis.
Prickly Pear Seed Oil — Rich in omega-6 and -9, vitamin E and K — reduces inflammation and supports healthy cellular turnover.
Meadowfoam Seed Oil — Locally grown and harvested. Locks in moisture and softens skin with a lightweight, non-greasy finish.

How to Use
Apply 2–3 drops to clean, slightly damp skin — or over Immersion and Essentialist as the final nourishing step. Press gently across face and neck using fingertips. Allow the warmth of the hands to support absorption.
AM: Last step before sunscreen.
PM: Last step after water-based treatments or creams.
Can be used daily or 2–3 times per week — follow what the skin is asking for, season by season. Suitable for all skin types. Particularly beneficial for depleted, dry, and environmentally stressed skin states.
