First Light is your morning oil — which means it has one non-negotiable requirement: it has to absorb completely before your SPF or makeup goes on. It does. Every time. 2–3 drops pressed into skin, 60 seconds, and it's gone — leaving behind a soft, primed surface that feels like your skin just got its act together. No grease. No shine. No waiting around. The formula is built on a botanical infusion of wild-foraged Yarrow and Calendula grown by the founder — slow-steeped into a sunflower oil base. Bakuchiol at 2% delivers visible improvement in skin texture and tone over time without the UV sensitivity that comes with retinol. Sea Buckthorn CO2 and Rosehip build cumulative radiance. Meadowfoam keeps every active ingredient stable and performing longer. This is what your skin looks like when it's actually taken care of.

After Deep Current, on skin that's fully absorbed the serum.
Press 2–3 drops into face and neck — don't rub, just press. Give it 60 seconds to absorb completely. Then SPF, makeup, or nothing at all. It's ready when you are.
AM use. Every morning.

Calendula + Yarrow Infused Sunflower Oil
WILD-FORAGED + GROWN · CLAM GULCH, ALASKA
Yarrow wild-foraged on the Kenai Peninsula. Calendula grown by the founder in her greenhouse. Slow-steeped into the base oil — visibly calming and skin-conditioning from the first ingredient down.
Bakuchiol 2%
A well-studied botanical retinol alternative. Delivers visible improvement in skin texture and tone over time — without UV sensitivity, without irritation, and without the adjustment period.
Sea Buckthorn CO2 Extract
Carotenoid-rich. Supports a visibly radiant and even-looking complexion over time.
Rosehip Oil
Rich in Vitamins A and C. Supports a brighter, more even-looking complexion with consistent use.
MCT Oil
Fast-absorbing carrier. The reason this oil disappears before your SPF goes on.
Meadowfoam Seed Oil
Keeps active ingredients stable and performing longer. The unsung hero of this formula.

Full Ingredients:
Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Squalane, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil, Cucurbita Pepo (Pumpkin) Seed Oil, Persea Gratissima (Avocado) Oil, Calendula Officinalis Flower Extract, Achillea Millefolium (Yarrow) Extract, Tocopherol, Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Extract, Bakuchiol.

Will it feel greasy or heavy?
No. First Light absorbs completely in about 60 seconds. It's specifically formulated for morning use — no grease, no shine, no heavy feeling before SPF or makeup.

Can I use it without makeup?
Absolutely. It leaves skin soft and primed whether you're wearing makeup or going bare. Either way your skin looks like it has its act together.

Can I use Bakuchiol if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
We always recommend checking with your healthcare provider before introducing any new active ingredient during pregnancy or breastfeeding.

Does it work under SPF and makeup?
Yes. Apply, give it 60 seconds to absorb, then layer SPF or makeup on top. It creates the perfect primed surface for both.
What if I want a richer oil at night?

That's what Last Light is for. First Light is your AM oil — Last Light is the PM version, richer and formulated specifically for overnight wear.

Can I use it with my other treatments?
Yes. Apply Deep Current first, let it absorb, then layer First Light on top as the final step. It works alongside retinol, estriol, and other actives you may already be using.

For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes. If contact occurs rinse thoroughly with water. Discontinue use if irritation occurs. Keep out of reach of children.
