The Averelé Ingredient Library
At Averelé, every formula begins with purpose.
We choose botanical oils, plant extracts, vitamins, and skin-supportive actives for the role they play within the formula, not simply because they sound beautiful on a label. Each ingredient is selected to help nourish the skin, support its natural moisture barrier, improve the feel of the product, or protect the integrity of the formulation.
Our formulas are inspired by the coast and countryside of Normandy, where land and sea exist side by side. This balance shapes our approach to skincare: botanical nourishment, thoughtful formulation, and ingredients chosen with intention.
Below, you can explore the ingredients used in our Radiance Barrier Oil and learn why each one was included.
Radiance Barrier Oil Ingredients
Jojoba Seed Oil
INCI: Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil
Jojoba is a lightweight, golden liquid wax with a composition that closely resembles the skin’s natural sebum. It helps soften the skin, reduce moisture loss, and support a smooth, supple finish without feeling overly heavy or greasy.
Meadowfoam Seed Oil
INCI: Limnanthes Alba (Meadowfoam) Seed Oil
Meadowfoam seed oil is valued for its exceptional stability and silky texture. It helps seal in moisture, soften dry skin, and improve the overall longevity and sensory feel of the formula.
Squalane
INCI: Squalane
Squalane is a lightweight emollient that helps reinforce the skin’s moisture barrier while leaving the complexion soft and comfortable. It absorbs easily and provides nourishment without a heavy or oily residue.
Cacay Seed Oil
INCI: Caryodendron Orinocense (Cacay) Seed Oil
Cacay seed oil is a richly nourishing botanical oil naturally containing essential fatty acids and antioxidant compounds. It helps soften the skin, improve the appearance of dryness, and support a smoother, more radiant-looking complexion.
Coco-Caprylate/Caprate
INCI: Coco-Caprylate/Caprate
Coco-caprylate/caprate is a plant-derived emollient that gives the oil a light, elegant slip. It helps the formula spread smoothly across the skin and reduces the heavy or greasy feel sometimes associated with facial oils.
Rosehip Fruit Oil
INCI: Rosa Canina (Rosehip) Fruit Oil
Rosehip oil is naturally rich in essential fatty acids and carotenoids. It helps nourish dry or depleted skin and supports a more even, luminous, and revitalized appearance.
Pomegranate Seed Oil
INCI: Punica Granatum (Pomegranate) Seed Oil
Pomegranate seed oil is a concentrated botanical oil prized for its unique fatty-acid profile and antioxidant content. It helps condition the skin and supports the appearance of softness, resilience, and vitality.
Oil-Soluble Vitamin C
INCI: Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate
Tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate is a stable, oil-soluble form of vitamin C. It is included to help brighten the appearance of dull skin, support a more even-looking complexion, and provide antioxidant protection against environmental stressors.
Bakuchiol
INCI: Bakuchiol
Bakuchiol is a plant-derived active known for supporting smoother, firmer, and more refined-looking skin. It is often used as a gentle alternative to traditional retinoids and is included to help improve the visible appearance of texture, tone, and fine lines.
Sea Buckthorn CO₂ Extract
INCI: Hippophae Rhamnoides (Sea Buckthorn) CO2 Extract
Sea buckthorn is a deeply colored botanical extract naturally rich in carotenoids, fatty acids, and antioxidant compounds. It helps nourish dry skin and supports a healthy, radiant-looking complexion.
Because sea buckthorn is highly concentrated, only a small amount is needed to bring its benefits and distinctive golden-orange color to the formula.
Calendula Flower Extract
INCI: Calendula Officinalis Flower Extract
Calendula is traditionally used in skincare for its soothing and conditioning properties. Our calendula extract is infused into olive oil, allowing its skin-comforting botanical compounds to become part of the oil phase.
It is included to help calm the appearance of stressed or dry skin and support a soft, comfortable finish.
Olive Oil
INCI: Olea Europaea (Olive) Fruit Oil
Olive oil serves as the carrier for our calendula infusion. It is naturally rich in fatty acids and antioxidant compounds and helps nourish, soften, and condition the skin.
Vitamin E
INCI: Tocopherol
Vitamin E is an antioxidant that helps condition the skin while also supporting the stability of the botanical oils within the formula. It helps protect the oil blend from premature oxidation and contributes to the product’s nourishing feel.
Neroli, Palmarosa, and Lavender Essential Oil Blend
INCI: Fragrance components declared according to final labeling requirements
A delicate aromatic blend of neroli, palmarosa, and lavender gives the oil its soft botanical scent.
Neroli contributes a fresh, floral-citrus character. Palmarosa adds a gentle rosy note, while lavender brings a soft herbal balance. The blend is used at a restrained level to complement the ritual of application without overwhelming the formula.
Rosemary Oleoresin Extract
INCI: Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Oleoresin Extract
Rosemary oleoresin extract is a natural antioxidant used to help protect botanical oils from oxidation. It supports the freshness and stability of the formula and is included for product preservation rather than for fragrance.
Why We Created This Blend
The Radiance Barrier Oil was designed to do more than simply coat the skin.
Its combination of lightweight emollients, nutrient-rich botanical oils, antioxidants, and oil-soluble actives helps replenish the feel of dry or depleted skin while supporting softness, luminosity, and a healthy-looking moisture barrier.
The result is a concentrated facial oil that feels silky rather than heavy and leaves the skin nourished, comfortable, and visibly radiant.
A Note About Natural Variation
Botanical oils and extracts may vary slightly in color or aroma from one batch to another. These natural differences are expected and do not affect the quality or performance of the product.
The golden tone of the Radiance Barrier Oil comes naturally from ingredients such as rosehip, pomegranate, calendula, and sea buckthorn.
