Beta 4
Beta 4 is a limited release of three 50 mL facial serums: PRIMA, EQUILIBRIUM SERUM, and NIGHT SERUM.
Skin care is a daily ritual of attention to the body: not another measure of adequacy, and not another private act of care to be absorbed by trends.
With Beta 4, I am building toward a system I would want to use for the next decade: effective enough to remain present in my daily life, and refined as science and ingredients improve. I believe this standard is worth sharing, and I invite you to join the beta.
The System
The idea behind the set is simple: a moisturizer can feel good in the morning and still leave skin feeling dry or tight a few hours later. These serums are anhydrous lipid layers designed to sit after moisturizer and help keep the skin surface comfortable for longer.
The full Beta 4 set is the clearest way to understand the release; individual bottles are available if one direction feels more useful to you.
EQUILIBRIUM SERUM is active-free barrier support. PRIMA is the morning Vitamin C version. NIGHT SERUM is the evening bakuchiol version.
Ingredients
The ingredients are organized by role: the carrier oils make the lipid layer, the antioxidants support the formula, and the actives define the morning and evening versions.
Hemisqualane, squalane, jojoba, meadowfoam, and rosehip were used. Light, skin-compatible lipids chosen for slip, cushion, and daily wear.
CoQ10, Vitamin E, Lipochroman-6, rosemary oleoresin, and Vitamin C were used. A restrained antioxidant structure, not decorative botanical noise.
EQUILIBRIUM SERUM is active-free. PRIMA uses oil-soluble Vitamin C. NIGHT SERUM uses bakuchiol.

The morning serum
A lightweight lipid layer with Vitamin C, for radiance and a more even-looking tone. Use a small amount after moisturizer and before SPF.
The evening serum
A richer nighttime lipid layer with bakuchiol, for surface comfort and the look of smoother texture. Use as the final evening layer.
How to use
Start with less than you think you need. Amount will depend on your skin, the weather, indoor air, SPF, and whether you wear makeup.

Before reserving
This is a small beta release. The price reflects the feedback nature of the release, not a lower formula standard. If you try it and decide you do not want to continue using it, I will refund you in full. No one should feel pressure to keep using something that is not right for their skin.
