first Prep — 3-in-1 Face Mist: Toner, Essence & Serum
The Calm Layer
A milky mist · 100ml
When your hormones shift, skin can turn reactive, dry, and quick to flush, and formulas that used to feel fine start to sting. Prep is the milky mist made for exactly that: it quiets the look of redness, floods in lasting hydration, and refines the look of texture, in one weightless step. Sea fennel, five-form hyaluronic acid, nigella, prickly pear, and a triple-mushroom complex, each doing more than one job, because skin in flux needs more than one thing at once. Wear it under makeup, or refresh over it midday. Made for hormonal skin longevity.

Where Botanicals Meet Biotech
Inside the mist.
Skin keeps changing through pregnancy, postpartum, perimenopause, and menopause. That’s what we mean by hormonal skin longevity. Every ingredient below does more than one job for skin in transition, each rooted in our heritage.
Bisabolol + panthenol
Chamomile's calming molecule with pro-vitamin B5, to quiet reactive, hormonal skin into comfortable balance.
Multi-molecular hyaluronic acid
Multiple weights of hyaluronic and polyglutamic acid flood water in at every depth, for dewy comfort.
Sea fennel + Nordic lichen
A gentle, retinol-free way to support smoother-looking texture, without acids, peeling, or a purge period, leaving skin baby-soft.
Nigella + grape seed
Nigella (black cumin) oil, grape seed, and a triple-mushroom complex offer antioxidant support, helping reduce the impact of everyday stressors and supporting a more even, radiant-looking complexion.
Full ingredient list (INCI)
Aqua, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Propanediol, Coco-Caprylate/Caprate, Nigella Sativa (Black Cumin) Seed Oil, Opuntia Ficus-Indica (Prickly Pear) Seed Oil, Bisabolol, Trametes Versicolor (Turkey Tail) Extract, Lentinus Edodes (Shiitake Mushroom) Extract, Crithmum Maritimum (Sea Fennel) Extract, and more.
How to use
- Hold 15 to 20cm from your face and mist 4 to 5 times to cover face and neck.
- Let it settle for a moment, then follow with Plump, or with your own moisturizer and SPF.
- Morning and night, under a minute.
- Mid-day, mist lightly over makeup to refresh.
- A brief, gentle zing on first use is normal and subsides quickly.
The story behind Prep
Prep opens the routine the way the old traditions opened a remedy, calming and preparing the skin before anything else is asked of it. Its heart is Kalonji (Nigella sativa), the “seed of blessing” named across Ayurveda, Unani, and Siddha and carried in Gujarati kitchens for generations. Around it, sea fennel and a triple-mushroom complex begin the work of renewing and steadying tone.
The botany begins it. Kalonji calms; sea fennel gently loosens dull surface cells; mushrooms defend. The biotech carries it. Multi-molecular hyaluronic acid and bisabolol flood water in and quiet reactivity, so skin is left soft, hydrated, and ready.

In their own words
With my sensitive skin it’s hard to find things that don’t overwhelm.
My pores are shrinking and skin has become brighter than before.

Do I still need a moisturizer with Prep?
Prep does the work of a toner, essence, and serum, so it covers the treatment steps of a routine. Follow it with a moisturizer to seal everything in. Plump is designed as its second half.
Why do I notice a scent if Prep is fragrance-free?
Prep's botanical ingredients can have a light, natural scent of their own. We never add synthetic fragrance, masking fragrance, or parfum, since added fragrance is a common trigger for skin sensitivity, especially during hormonal shifts.
When will I see results?
Softness comes first. Sea fennel gently clears the dull, worn-out cells sitting on the surface, no acids, no scrubbing, and that is where the baby-soft feel comes from. Used daily, it keeps skin clear as fresh cells surface, while Plump seals the moisture in. The deeper changes in barrier strength and tone build week over week. That is what our 8-week study measured.
How long does a bottle last?
Prep is 100ml. At 4 to 5 mists morning and night, a bottle typically lasts around two months of daily use.
What should I expect on first use?
Prep contains potent botanicals and biotech actives. You may notice a brief, gentle zing on first application. This is normal and subsides quickly. Prep has been clinically tested for sensitive skin by SGS, an independent third-party lab. For very sensitive skin, patch test before use and apply every other day to build tolerance.
