I created Quench because I believe that hydration shouldn't be complicated. After years of watching clients layer product after product in pursuit of moisture, I wanted to develop a single solution that actually works.
When formulating Quench, I approached it like a scientist designing the perfect water delivery system for skin. I selected polysaccharide-rich snow mushroom as my star ingredient—not just because it's trendy, but because it works better than hyaluronic acid. The molecules are smaller, allowing for deeper penetration into the skin, and it can hold up to 500 times its weight in water.
I added panthenol and glycerin as complementary humectants, creating a moisture cocktail that doesn't just sit on the surface but actually integrates with your skin. For those concerned about dullness and uneven texture, I incorporated mandelic acid—a gentle alpha hydroxy acid that exfoliates without irritation. The niacinamide serves dual purposes: it regulates oil production while strengthening your skin barrier and reducing hyperpigmentation.
What makes Quench truly special is its practical simplicity. It eliminates the guesswork from moisture layering by delivering intense hydration, brightening benefits, and barrier protection in one silky serum. I designed it to be versatile—whether you're oily and need just this one step followed by SPF, or dry and want to seal it in with Shield. (Though the two together, The Duo bundle, are the chef's kiss of complete hydration for all skin types!) The texture is intentionally lightweight and non-sticky, absorbing quickly so you can get on with your day.
In my twenty+ years as an esthetician, I've seen every hydrating ingredient come and go. Snow mushroom isn't just another fad—it's a logical solution to trans-epidermal water loss, the fundamental issue behind most skin concerns. When water leaves the skin from the dermis through the epidermis, dehydration quickly follows. Quench addresses this at the source, particularly in challenging environments like low-humidity climates or after intensive treatments.
I didn't create Quench to be another bottle on your shelf. I created it to replace multiple steps in your routine with something that actually works—because rational skincare should deliver measurable results, not empty promises.
