The Better Oil Nourishing Emollients
Fast-absorbing face oil powered by clinically-tested bio-active lipids for softer, more resilient skin
The Better Oil is our chemists’ take on the perfect face oil—a tightly edited blend of five essential fatty acid–rich botanicals that hits the sweet spot between nourishing and lightweight. One drop leaves skin soft, cushioned, and glowing. Backed by clinically tested bioactive lipids, it helps strengthen the skin barrier and smooth the look of fine lines over time.

How to use
NIGHT
A little goes a long way. Use 1–2 drops as the final step in your nighttime routine for a boost of nourishment. You can also mix it into your night cream for a more refined finish. Pairs well with your actives. Use nightly for best long-term results.
DAY
We don’t recommend applying the oil neat right before sunscreen or makeup—it can disrupt their finish. Instead, mix a small drop into your hydrating serum or moisturizer for a soft, natural glow.
GET CREATIVE
Since launch, our community has found countless ways to use The Better Oil—cuticles, hair, and beyond. You can even extend the application to the décolleté. Our barrier-supporting active, GGP, has been clinically tested there too, for smoother, brighter-looking skin.
Pssst...did you know?
When the chemists first started scouring the planet for the right plant oils, we stumbled upon a beautiful texture that we had to kick to the curb pretty quickly. There was no chemist magic that was able to subdue the fragrance, which the chemists describe as “beautifully-aged broccoli”.
