This intensely water-drenching elixir – Sea Culture Hydrating Essence softens and hydrates to help thirsty skin look more plump and refreshed. Utilizing a base of chia and algin from seaweed, this formula delivers sea minerals and nutrients to support a radiant, healthy-looking complexion.
No water is added. No synthetics. Just marine actives, bioactive antioxidants and plant-derived hydrators working together at full strength.
Essences work differently from serums and moisturisers. They deliver actives in an ultra-thin, fast-absorbing layer that prepares the skin to receive everything that follows. This formula does that, and more.
DMAE — Dimethylaminoethanol — is the anchor ingredient. It is a bioactive compound that crosses the skin barrier and stimulates acetylcholine production, the neurotransmitter responsible for muscle contraction beneath the skin. The result is visibly firmer, lifted skin over continued use. MSM (Dimethyl Sulfone) complements DMAE with sulphur-based antioxidant and anti-inflammatory action that supports the skin’s own collagen production.
Sodium Hyaluronate and Sodium PCA form the deep hydration layer. Chia Seed Gel holds moisture on the surface. Organic Rose Hydrosol and Witch Hazel calm, tone and minimise pores simultaneously. Saccharomyces Cerevisiae Yeast Ferment — a fermented ingredient popularised by Korean skincare — brightens and strengthens the barrier from within.
This essence is for anyone whose skin feels tight, flat or dull despite regular moisturising. If your moisturiser sits on top rather than sinking in, a hydrating essence used first will solve that. It primes the skin to absorb everything that follows more effectively.
It is particularly valuable for Singapore skin dealing with the dehydration cycle: air-conditioning pulling moisture out indoors, humidity and heat pushing sebum up outdoors. That combination leaves skin simultaneously oily on the surface and parched underneath. The marine actives address both sides of that equation.
Anyone wanting firmer, brighter skin without resorting to synthetics will find the DMAE and niacinamide combination compelling. It delivers the visible tightening effect typically associated with peptides, through a completely clean, plant and marine-derived formula.
Step 1: After cleansing and toning, apply while skin is still slightly damp.
Step 2: Dispense 2–3 drops into your palm or directly onto face and neck.
Step 3: Press gently into skin using upward motions. Do not pull or rub.
Step 4: Allow 30–60 seconds for full absorption before applying serum or moisturiser.
Best used: Morning and evening. For maximum firming benefit, use consistently twice daily.
Tip: Follow with the 100% Pure Green Tea EGCG Serum and Moisturiser for a complete antioxidant and hydration routine.

| Benefits For Users | Who Is It For | Why It Works | Pro Tips |
|---|---|---|---|
| 🌊 Deeply hydrates and plumps skin with concentrated marine moisture | Dehydrated skin types, especially those exposed to Singapore’s air conditioning and indoor environments daily | Sea kelp alginates and hyaluronic acid work together to attract and bind water molecules directly to skin cells, delivering hydration that lasts well beyond the surface | 💡 Pro Tip: Apply immediately after cleansing on slightly damp skin. Damp skin seals in marine hydration before the surface dries, maximising depth of absorption |
| 🛡️ Restores and strengthens the skin barrier against daily damage | Compromised, sensitive, or barrier-weakened skin types struggling with redness, tightness, or reactive skin | Sea kelp polysaccharides form a protective biofilm on skin that reduces trans-epidermal water loss and actively rebuilds the skin’s natural moisture barrier with each use | 💡 Pro Tip: Apply a more generous layer on dry or sensitive areas. The denser the essence application, the stronger and faster the barrier repair effect over time |
| 💧 Primes skin to absorb serums and moisturisers more deeply | Anyone wanting to get measurably more performance from their existing skincare routine | Essences increase the skin’s hydration gradient, creating an optimal absorption environment that allows active ingredients in serums and moisturisers to penetrate deeper into skin | 💡 Pro Tip: Apply before your 100% Pure Multi Vitamin PM Serum or Bakuchiol Oil every night. A properly hydrated base significantly deepens the absorption of every active applied on top |
| 🌿 Clean formula free from synthetic chemicals and ocean microplastics | Eco-conscious shoppers and clean beauty advocates who care about both their skin health and the health of the ocean | 100% Pure sources all marine ingredients sustainably and formulates without synthetic chemicals that contribute to ocean pollution, microplastic contamination, or harm to marine ecosystems | 💡 Pro Tip: Store in a cool location away from direct sunlight to preserve the potency of live marine culture bioactives and extend the product’s active shelf life |

Natural ingredients may vary in color and consistency
A. A toner balances skin pH and removes residual cleanser. An essence goes further. 100% Pure Restorative Sea Culture Essence delivers concentrated marine bioactives — sea kelp, spirulina, algae — that hydrate deeply, restore the barrier, and prime skin for better serum absorption. It is an active skin treatment, not just a prep step.
A. Yes, — this essence has a gel-fluid consistency that absorbs instantly and leaves no residue. Even at 85% humidity outdoors, the chia seed gel base regulates moisture delivery rather than sitting on the skin surface, so it feels comfortable and lightweight. But most customers prefer to use this as a night routine instead.
A. DMAE (Dimethylaminoethanol Bitartrate) is a well-studied antioxidant ingredient. At cosmetic concentrations it is considered safe and well-tolerated for daily application. Cumulative use supports the appearance of firmer, more toned skin
A. Saccharomyces Cerevisiae Yeast Ferment delivers fermentation-processed amino acids, beta-glucans and B-complex vitamins. Fermentation produces smaller particles that penetrate the epidermis more effectively — supporting cell renewal, barrier recovery and a lit-from-within glow.
A.No drying alcohol (SD Alcohol / Alcohol Denat.) is present. A trace of Ethyl (Grain) Alcohol is used as a carrier for essential oil components at a very low concentration. The primary base is organic aloe vera and rose hydrosol, making this alcohol-free in the conventional skincare sense.
A. It delivers deep marine hydration, repairs the skin barrier, reduces trans-epidermal water loss, and primes skin to absorb serums and moisturisers more effectively. Skin appears plumper, more even-toned, and visibly more radiant with consistent daily use.
