$48
15ml · 0.5 fl oz
A waterless concentrate of fermented ʻōhiʻa lehua and noni enzyme that gently lifts melasma without bleaching melanin.
Humidity Promise+
Stable in 95% RH. Will not pill under any mineral SPF or makeup base we’ve tested.
Key Ingredients+
Fermented ʻōhiʻa lehua, Hawaiian noni enzyme, niacinamide (anhydrous form), squalane from sugarcane, polynesian sandalwood absolute.
Ritual+
Three drops, morning or night, into the warm valley of your palms. Press into the cheeks, lateral forehead, and the rim of the jaw. Wait a full minute before any SPF.
Field Notes+
Lehua is the formula we are quietly proudest of. A 22-week fermentation of ʻōhiʻa lehua blossoms and Hawaiian noni produces a copper-bright concentrate naturally rich in azelaic precursors. It addresses tropical hyperpigmentation — the kind that returns within a week of a beach day — by slowing tyrosinase rather than oxidizing what’s already there. No hydroquinone. No retinoids that mis-behave in 90% RH. Just deeply patient brightening for skin that lives in the sun.
