What goes on your skin matters.
Here's what's in ours.

Steam-distilled from Damask rose petals, this floral water forms the aqueous base of many YEVÉ formulations. Naturally rich in phenylethanol, it soothes irritated skin, gently balances pH, and delivers a breath of botanical calm with every application.

Fermented from corn sugars, propanediol is a clean-origin humectant that draws moisture to the skin surface and locks it there. Unlike conventional glycols, it glides on weightlessly — no stickiness, no petrochemical concerns — while also helping actives absorb faster and deeper.

Derived from coconut oil and glycerol, this lightweight emollient spreads effortlessly across skin without the heaviness of traditional oils. It reinforces the skin barrier, replenishes lipids lost throughout the day, and leaves a clean, non-greasy finish that absorbs quickly.

Technically a liquid wax, jojoba's molecular structure is remarkably similar to the skin's own sebum — making it one of the most skin-compatible botanicals in formulation. It regulates moisture without clogging pores, softens the skin surface over time, and oxidises far more slowly than conventional oils, giving formulas a naturally long freshness.

A highly refined emollient derived from natural fatty acids. Cetiol CC creates an immediate silky, dry-to-touch skin feel — often described as velvet in a bottle. It helps formulas spread evenly, enhances texture significantly, and absorbs quickly without leaving any greasy residue.

A plant-derived ester made from fermentation and coconut-derived lauric acid. It acts as a gentle skin softener and texture enhancer — imparting a light, powdery-smooth skin feel. Often chosen as a natural, biodegradable replacement for silicones, with none of the environmental concerns.

An olive-derived emulsifier that works synergistically with the skin's own lipid architecture. Unlike conventional emulsifiers, Olivem 1000 forms a liquid crystal structure that closely resembles the skin's natural lamellar layers — meaning it emulsifies and actively supports barrier function at the same time.

A concentrated multi-lamellar system sourced from Trulux that mirrors the architecture of the stratum corneum's own lipid barrier. This blend of three key ceramides (NP, AP, EOP), phytosphingosine, and cholesterol — in a sodium lauroyl lactylate delivery base — fills the gaps between skin cells, sealing moisture in and irritants out. Clinically relevant for ageing, dry, and compromised skin needing structural barrier repair.

High molecular weight hyaluronic acid (1–2 million Daltons) works at the skin's surface, forming an invisible moisture-retaining film that instantly plumps the appearance of fine lines and delivers a dewy, cushioned feel. Its large molecular size prevents deep penetration — instead it creates a breathable protective veil that holds water at the surface and reduces transepidermal water loss throughout the day.

Low molecular weight hyaluronic acid (5,000–50,000 Daltons) is engineered to penetrate the upper epidermal layers where high-weight HA cannot reach. By working below the surface, it hydrates skin cells from within, supports the skin's own hyaluronic acid synthesis over time, and contributes to long-term elasticity and resilience. Paired with HMW HA, it delivers hydration at every depth.

The skincare form of Vitamin B5, panthenol is converted to pantothenic acid once absorbed — a compound your skin cells use naturally for repair and regeneration. It is simultaneously a humectant (drawing water in) and an emollient (sealing it in), while its anti-inflammatory properties make it ideal for reactive or compromised skin.

A naturally derived emulsifier produced from vegetable glycerin and stearic acid, typically sourced from coconut. It helps oil and water phases blend harmoniously in formulas while simultaneously conditioning the skin surface — adding a cushioned, comfortable texture to creams and lotions.

Despite its name, this is not an irritating alcohol — it is a fatty alcohol derived from rapeseed or coconut oil. Behenyl alcohol thickens and stabilises formulas while simultaneously conditioning the skin, giving creams a luxurious, rich feel without heaviness or the drying effect of short-chain alcohols.

One of skincare's most thoroughly validated actives. Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) visibly minimises the appearance of pores, evens skin tone by interrupting pigment transfer at the cellular level, strengthens the barrier by stimulating ceramide production, and reduces redness and excess sebum — all without sensitising even the most reactive skin types.

Revered for centuries in Ayurvedic and traditional Chinese medicine, Gotu Kola is modern skincare's favourite healing plant. Its triterpenoids — including asiatic acid and madecassoside — stimulate collagen synthesis, calm inflammation at the source, and accelerate skin repair, making it essential in any barrier-focused formulation.

A cellular extract from Native Extracts, derived from Tremella fuciformis — a soft, jelly-like fungus native to subtropical and tropical regions across Asia. Extracted under high pressure using purified, deionised rain-harvested water, it concentrates the mushroom's signature polysaccharides, which deliver natural moisturising properties, potent antioxidant activity, and support for collagen and barrier function. Anti-inflammatory and anti-glycation activity contribute to long-term skin resilience and a luminous, firm complexion.

An amino acid derivative originally discovered in microorganisms thriving in extreme desert and salt environments. Ectoin forms a protective hydration shell around skin cells and proteins, shielding them from UV radiation, pollution, and temperature stress. Clinical studies show it reduces sensitivity, supports the skin microbiome, and builds measurable environmental resilience over time.

One of skin's primary fat-soluble antioxidants, Vitamin E neutralises free radicals before they damage lipids in the cell membrane. At 50% natural concentration, it provides potent antioxidant protection, supports skin healing and regeneration, and simultaneously functions as a natural formula stabiliser — extending the product's effective shelf life.

A rosemary oleoresin standardised for carnosic acid, carnosol, and rosmarinic acid — the key actives responsible for its potent antioxidant activity. Suspended in sunflower oil for easy dispersion in formulas, it protects lipid-rich ingredients from oxidising and going rancid, extending product freshness naturally. On skin, it also delivers mild antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits.

Derived from rice bran or corn, sodium phytate binds to the trace metal ions found in water and raw materials that would otherwise degrade actives and encourage microbial growth. By deactivating these ions, it strengthens the broader preservative system and keeps formulas stable for longer — naturally, without acting as a direct antimicrobial itself.

Also known as Geogard ECT or Mikrokill ECT, Plantaserv M is a blend of four 100% natural-origin components that together deliver broad-spectrum protection against bacteria, yeast, and mould. It is paraben-free, formaldehyde-free, and isothiazolone-free, with a pH working range of 3–8. COSMOS and ECOCERT approved. A faint almond note from benzyl alcohol is fully masked in finished formulas.

A mild multifunctional ingredient derived from vegetable glycerin and caprylic acid from coconut. It acts simultaneously as a skin-conditioning emollient and a gentle antimicrobial — disrupting the cell membranes of bacteria and yeast at low concentrations. This dual role means it contributes to preservation while also improving skin feel and moisture retention.

Steam-distilled or cold-infused from Roman chamomile blossoms, this floral water carries azulene — the signature blue compound responsible for chamomile's renowned anti-inflammatory properties. It tones, soothes redness, and calms reactive skin, and forms a gentle aqueous base in sensitive-skin formulations. Sourced from Aussie Soap Supplies as a high-quality Australian botanical.

One of skincare's most time-tested and reliable humectants, vegetable glycerin continuously draws water from the environment and deeper skin layers to the surface. It also forms a breathable protective layer that prevents moisture loss without occlusion, and acts as a gentle solvent that helps botanical extracts disperse evenly throughout formulas.

An amino acid-based surfactant derived from coconut oil and glutamic acid — a naturally occurring amino acid. It cleanses skin without stripping natural oils or disrupting the microbiome, and maintains barrier integrity even after thorough cleansing. Unlike conventional surfactants, it is active and stable at low pH, making it ideal for formulations that also contain AHAs.

Despite the name, cetyl alcohol is a fatty alcohol — not a drying short-chain alcohol. Derived from coconut fatty acids, it serves simultaneously as a co-emulsifier, emollient, and thickener. It gives creams and lotions a smooth, luxurious spreadability and helps stabilise oil-in-water emulsions without adding heaviness or greasiness to the finished product.

A lightweight ester derived from coconut fatty acids, coco caprylate/caprate spreads effortlessly across skin leaving a clean, dry-touch finish with no residual greasiness. It is an excellent silicone alternative, giving formulas a modern sensorial skin feel while conditioning and softening the surface. Readily biodegradable with an outstanding safety profile.

A gentle amphoteric surfactant derived from coconut oil and betaine (an amino acid derivative). It produces rich, conditioning lather and significantly reduces the irritation potential of other cleansing agents in a formula. It also has antistatic and conditioning effects — leaving skin soft and comfortable after rinsing. The go-to secondary cleanser in YEVÉ's rinse-off formulations.

Extracted from the cell walls of oat grains, beta-glucan is a polysaccharide with clinically demonstrated skin-soothing and moisture-binding properties. It penetrates the upper epidermis where it stimulates collagen synthesis, supports wound healing, and calms sensitised or reactive skin. Studies also show it improves skin firmness and visibly reduces fine lines with consistent use.

Cold-pressed from aloe vera leaves, this juice is rich in polysaccharides, vitamins B complex, C, and carotene (provitamin A). The polysaccharides form a hygroscopic mesh that attracts and retains moisture while simultaneously calming inflammation. A versatile aqueous base used to boost hydration and support skin recovery after sun exposure, sensitisation, or compromised barrier events.

Originally found in comfrey root, the allantoin used in skincare is nature-identical — synthesised to match exactly what the plant produces. It accelerates cell turnover by promoting the shedding of damaged surface cells, soothes and conditions the skin, and stimulates tissue repair without causing any irritation. Particularly valuable alongside exfoliating actives like lactic acid to minimise sensitivity.

A patented natural polymer by Seppic, sourced through Trulux, in which acacia gum coats xanthan gum for an optimised texture performance. Unlike xanthan gum alone, Solagum AX dissolves quickly in water to produce non-stringy, non-sticky aqueous gels with a noticeably richer skin feel. It thickens, stabilises emulsions, forms a light protective film, and contributes gentle soothing properties — all from 100% natural, biodegradable materials.

The mildest of the alpha hydroxy acids, lactic acid is derived via fermentation of sugars. It dissolves the bonds holding dead surface cells together, accelerating cell turnover to reveal fresher, brighter skin beneath. Its larger molecular size compared to glycolic acid means gentler penetration and lower sensitivity risk. It also acts as a natural humectant and is the preferred acid choice for reactive and sensitive skin types.

Steam-distilled from the blossoms of bitter orange trees, this fragrant hydrosol — also known as neroli water — tones, gently tightens pores, and mildly brightens the complexion. Rich in linalool and limonene, it delivers a delicate natural floral freshness to formulas while soothing sensitive or reactive skin. Sourced from Aussie Soap Supplies as a premium Australian botanical water.

Derived from the Kakadu plum — an Australian native fruit from Arnhem Land and the Kimberley Region with the highest known natural Vitamin C concentration of any food on Earth. In a glycerin base, this extract delivers powerful antioxidant protection, brightens and evens skin tone, supports collagen synthesis, and protects cells from environmental oxidative stress. Used by First Nations peoples for its healing properties for centuries.

Extracted via supercritical CO₂ — a solvent-free process that preserves the fragile bioactives destroyed by conventional cold-pressing. Rosehip CO₂ oil is exceptionally rich in trans-retinoic acid (a natural retinoid), linoleic acid (omega-6), and alpha-linolenic acid (omega-3), making it one of skincare's most potent regenerative oils. It accelerates skin repair, fades hyperpigmentation, and strengthens the barrier without heaviness.

A cellulose derivative produced from plant-derived cellulose via a cold-process reaction. It creates smooth, clear, transparent gels without the heavy or slimy feel of synthetic polymer alternatives. Used in serums, gels, and emulsions to build viscosity cleanly and evenly — distributing actives uniformly across the skin surface and rinsing clean without any residue.

Green tea leaves extracted in a vegetable glycerin base, concentrating the rich polyphenol content — particularly EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate), one of the most studied antioxidants in skincare. It neutralises free radicals from UV and pollution, reduces inflammation, supports collagen stability, and has demonstrated mild sebum-regulating and brightening activity. The glycerin carrier adds additional skin-softening hydration.

A sugar-based non-ionic solubiliser derived from coconut fatty acids and glucose. It enables essential oils, fragrance, and oil-soluble actives to disperse evenly into water-based formulas without separation. With a high HLB value (~15), it is one of the most effective and skin-compatible solubilising agents available — gentle enough for leave-on products, COSMOS compatible, and completely biodegradable.

A trio of natural plant sugars — xylitol, anhydroxylitol, and xylitylglucoside — that work together to optimise water circulation through all skin layers. Unlike simple humectants, Power Hydrator reinforces the skin's own aquaporin water channels, limits transepidermal water loss, and plumps cells from within. Studies show measurably stronger barrier function within 24 hours of application.

Steam-distilled from lavender flowers, this floral water carries the calming and antibacterial properties of lavender essential oil in a gentle, skin-safe concentration. It soothes irritated skin, reduces redness, and delivers a delicate natural freshness. Its antioxidant content helps combat environmental skin damage, and it functions both as a standalone toner and as the aqueous phase in sensitive-skin formulations. Sourced from Aussie Soap Supplies.

Cold-pressed from the nuts of the marula tree native to sub-Saharan Africa. Rich in oleic acid (omega-9), linoleic acid (omega-6), and natural vitamin E, marula oil is deeply nourishing yet fast-absorbing with a non-greasy finish. Its high oleic acid content delivers long-lasting moisture, while its antioxidant profile protects the skin from free radical damage. Lightweight enough for oily and combination skin types.

Cold-pressed from the seeds of the Plukenetia volubilis vine native to the Peruvian Amazon. Inca inchi oil contains one of the highest omega-3 (alpha-linolenic acid) concentrations of any botanical oil — typically over 48% — alongside significant omega-6 and omega-9 content. This makes it exceptionally effective at repairing compromised skin barriers, reducing inflammation, and supporting the cellular processes that maintain elasticity and firmness.

Pressed from the seeds of meadowfoam (Limnanthes alba), this oil is composed of approximately 98% very long-chain fatty acids — giving it exceptional oxidative stability far surpassing most vegetable oils. It spreads evenly, conditions the skin surface, and helps extend the freshness of other oils in a formula by acting as a natural antioxidant synergist. Lightweight, non-comedogenic, and suitable for sensitive and dry skin.

Extracted from the nuts of the shea tree native to West Africa, refined shea butter is one of the most deeply nourishing emollients in skincare formulation. Rich in oleic acid, stearic acid, and linoleic acid, it softens, conditions, and forms a protective film that seals moisture into the skin without clogging pores. Its natural vitamin E content and antioxidant compounds support long-term skin health and resilience.

Extracted from the bark and leaves of the witch hazel shrub in a water base, this extract delivers tannins, gallic acid, and polyphenols that act as natural astringents. It visibly tightens pores, controls excess sebum, reduces redness and inflammation, and soothes irritated skin — without the dryness associated with alcohol-based witch hazel preparations. Well suited to oily, combination, and sensitive skin types.

Derived from the seeds of Acacia victoriae — the Elegant Wattle, native to inland Australia — and valued by First Nations Australians for centuries. Rich in amino acids, polysaccharides, and flavonoids, this extract stimulates collagen synthesis, improves skin firmness and elasticity, and provides antioxidant protection through its phenolic compounds. Its anti-inflammatory properties also make it beneficial for sensitive, reactive, or acne-prone skin.
