Product
In your routine, layer products from the lightest to the richest texturesâbeginning with watery essences and finishing with more occlusive or oil-based formulas.
Though NOCTIS was designed as a nighttime serum, it can also be used in the morning. Apply it after your Vitamin C serumâunless your Vitamin C formula is oil-based, in which case, apply NOCTIS first and follow with Vitamin C.
The mechanisms inherent in NOCTIS actually complement and enhance the efficacy of Vitamin C products.
Properly stored, NOCTIS remains stable for up to 12 months after opening, though we recommend using within six months for optimal freshness and efficacy.
We recommend consulting your physician before using any skincare products while pregnant or nursing.
Methylene Blue is a synthetic compound first used in medicine over a century ago, both in research and clinically as a diagnostic dye and to support certain health conditions.
Many studies have recently explored Methylene Blueâs unique use as an antioxidant as well as its potential benefits in topical skincare.
For example one landmark study recently assessed its ability to improve skin hydration and thickness, promote wound healing, and support collagen and elastin production. Other studies have further explored these, or similar positive findings (especially with respect to longevity benefits). You can read more about Methylene Blue in our JOURNAL.
When formulated at appropriate topical concentrations, low-dose methylene blue (LDMB) has been shown to be well-tolerated, beneficial, and very safe (with no systemic effects) when used correctly. This molecule has a well-documented history of over 100 years of use in medical settings. We use USP-grade MB.
Our formula contains very low levels of essential oils, which naturally include trace amounts of fragrance allergens such as linalool, geraniol, and limonene. These compounds are present at concentrations well below IFRA-recommended limits for leave-on products.
However, individuals with heightened fragrance sensitivities should perform a patch test.

The term âclean beautyâ has no formal or regulatory definition. That said, we consciously exclude parabens, phenoxyethanol, paraffins, petrolatum, mineral oils, synthetic fragrance, biome-disruptive solvents, BHA/BHT, cyclic silicones, DEA-forming ethanolamides, polycarbomers, and other non-biodegradable polymers.
Any non-plant-derived ingredients in our formula are limited to lab isolated antioxidants and skin-bioavailable actives specifically chosen for their targeted benefits.
We incorporate essential oils sparingly, all selected for their sensorial qualities, but more importantly their research-backed benefits, particularly with respect to their positive effects on collagen and the skinâs matrix. (Refer to literature here and here)
We are mindful to include these oils in strict accordance with IFRA standards, which set usage limits to minimize allergenic and sensitizing potential. Our formulations are conscious to stay well below these thresholds.
We never test on animals.
Our packaging features heavy glass bottles and recyclable cardboard or paper, deliberately avoiding plastic and PFAS where possible.
Our serumâs lightweight texture comes from a plant-based gum that breaks down easily in the environment, offering the same smooth glide as traditional gelsâwithout relying on long-lasting synthetic ingredients. This natural base also enhances the performance of actives like acids, ferments, and minerals.
In contrast, many gels on the market use carbomers that are not as eco-friendly and may persistent in the environment.
