At Day + West, we believe the path to radiant, healthy skin lies in nature's vibrant botanicals. Our thoughtfully curated blends harness the potent properties of plant extracts to nourish, protect, and transform your complexion from the inside out. Let's take a look at some of the botanical stars that make up our products:
The Brightening Berry Blend
Our proprietary Photo Resilience Blend features a powerful trio of berry extracts - strawberry seed, blueberry, and blackberry fruit. These antioxidant-packed berries work in harmony to shield skin from environmental stressors like UV radiation, pollution, and free radicals that accelerate signs of aging.
Strawberry seed oil is a vitamin-rich elixir containing up to 50% linoleic acid - the major fatty acid naturally found in skin. It fortifies the skin barrier while imparting a radiant glow. Blueberries' anthocyanin compound calms inflammation and evens skin tone. Finally, blackberry extract's wealth of vitamins A, C, and K brighten and renew dull, lackluster complexions.
The Skin-Soothing Botanicals
Calendula flower extract offers unmatched skin-soothing properties with its anti-inflammatory agents and hydrating oils like calendic acid. It reduces irritation and redness while conditioning skin with nourishing linoleic acid.
Oat kernel extract forms a botanical shield to support skin's microbiome and barrier function while calming eczema, dermatitis, and itchiness. Prickly pear seed oil also contains highly effective anti-inflammatory fatty acids and antioxidants to subdue inflammation and oxidative stress.
The Concentrated Extracts
We fortify our formulas with pure, concentrated botanicals like radish root extract and rosehip fruit oil to amplify their benefits. Radish contains hyaluronic acid to intensely hydrate while its antibacterial agents help clarify acne and blemishes. Rosehip is a regenerative powerhouse packed with vitamins A and C to smooth wrinkles, fade dark spots and discoloration.
Our sweet almond and bakuchiol plant oils deeply replenish and firm the skin. Bakuchiol, derived from the Babchi plant, offers all the anti-aging powers of retinol without any irritation or sun sensitivity.
These botanical blends found in each of our products are thoughtfully crafted to address every skin concern and reveal your most vibrant, healthy radiance yet. This spring, discover the transformative power of plant-based ingredients with Day + West.
