I created Shield with a simple philosophy: skincare should make sense.
After twenty+ years as an esthetician, I'd seen enough products that promised the moon while delivering nothing but empty wallets. Shield is my logical response—an oil that's lightweight by design, sinking into the skin quickly without leaving any sticky or viscous residue.
What most brands won't tell you is that even oily skin needs the right fats. Our bodies don't produce essential fatty acids necessary for keeping skin blemish-free, which is why I've packed Shield with Sea Buckthorn Fruit, Cloudberry Seed, and Rosehip Oil to neutralize free radicals while nourishing your skin's barrier. Plus a healthy dose of oil-stable Vitamin C.
I chose bakuchiol as a plant-based retinol alternative because it works with your skin rather than against it. The data speaks for itself—equivalent results on fine lines and texture without the irritation typically associated with conventional retinol products.
What sets Shield apart is its multifunctional approach to skin health. The squalane mimics your skin's natural sebum, helping to regulate oil production rather than stripping it away. I've formulated Shield to correct sun damage with its stable Vitamin C while the complete omega essential fatty acids provide optimal nutrition at the cellular level. When you apply it, you'll notice how it creates a protective barrier—not by sitting on top of your skin, but by integrating with it. Most users report a noticeable boost in radiance overnight, and over time, they experience improved texture and a reduction in hyperpigmentation. This isn't just moisturizing; it's skin rehabilitation.
This isn't another miracle in a bottle. It's rational skincare formulated by someone who understands the chemistry of healthy skin. No pseudoscience, no marketing hyperbole—just a precisely calibrated formula that respects your skin's intelligence as much as your own.
Cult of Reason: Because I believe the only thing that should be radical about skincare is how well it works.
