Morning sets the tone of the skin.
The second step of the morning. Two percent ascorbyl glucoside, stabilised, slow, consistent.
Ascorbyl glucoside is vitamin C bonded to a glucose molecule. The skin's enzymes release the active as it needs it — stable, gentler, slower, and over weeks more consistent than raw L-ascorbic acid.
Ferulic acid alongside it is the stabiliser that plant chemistry has used for the same purpose for as long as plants have needed protection from sun. Carried through sea buckthorn, sweet almond, avocado, rosehip — four oils that carry the actives through the outer layer without the photosensitivity of raw ascorbic.
A vitamin C that stays vitamin C.
Stabilised, carried through oils, worn under the sun.
Ascorbyl Glucoside
Vitamin C (stabilised) · 2% · Ferulic Acid 1%
Pure L-ascorbic acid at 15 or 20 percent is the form most often marketed as vitamin C. It is also the least stable, the most irritating, and the one most likely to oxidise between the bottle and the skin. Ascorbyl glucoside is vitamin C bonded to a glucose molecule; the skin's enzymes release the active as it needs it. Stable. Gentler. Slower — and therefore, over weeks, more consistent. Ferulic acid alongside it is the stabiliser plant chemistry has used for the same purpose for as long as plants have needed protection from sun.

What you might ask.
Your place is held.
Confirmed. The doors open the thirtieth of May.
I have your address. There will be two letters between now and the launch — a few days before First Circle private access opens, then on the morning the doors do. No urgency in between.
Your only task is to forget about us.
30 May 2026 the doors open.
19 June 2026 the public follows.
The journal is open. Three pieces, written before the products were ready.
