Ingredients Are Key

Ingredients are something I love to research and experiment with, especially when it comes to formulating Grace | Rae every aspect gets noticed. You'll notice here at Grace | Rae is the unique ingredients that come with each product. From the start of the Barrier Balm back in 2024, the key focus was to bring together a product that didn't have fillers or synthetics and offered multiple healing avenues for the skin. 

From Aloe Butter to Blueberry Oil to Red Raspberry Seed and more, the adventure began as passion formed behind researching the best ingredients your skin can absorb for optimal performance. 

I wanted to take a deeper dive into some unique ingredients your skin will love and nurture within our four step line.

Starting with the Nourish Cleanser, this is a unique one as it is a cleansing oil that acts as a magnet to remove dirt and bacteria and clogged pores while seamlessly cleansing the skin without stripping it of it's natural properties. Notice how using a traditional cleanser, your skin feels dry and tight after? That means your skin was stripped of everything, leaving it completely vulnerable to damage and losing resiliency. With the Nourish Cleanser, key oils like Apricot, Carrot, Hemp and Sweet Almond come together to remove makeup, dirt and bacteria while nourishing the skin's barrier. Meadowsweet is a natural skin Salicylic Acid that helps reduce clogged pores and brightens along with reducing inflammation and excess oil production so your skin looks and feels amazing all day long. Infused with Pineapple Enzymes, you also get a gentle exfoliation as the enzymes break down dead skin while brightening with naturally occurring Bromine that comes from Pineapple. 

The Evoke Essence is a refreshment for your skin, the moment you put it on you will feel a cooling, tingling sensation from our Mint and Bergamot that awakens the skin and feels like you are stepping out into the mountainside. The essence has two main pivotal ingredients for your skin, Dragon's Blood Resin and Tomato Seed Oil. Dragon's Blood Resin is an antioxidant for your skin along with soothing dry, inflamed skin. It also is Antimicrobial that prevents and kills acne-causing bacteria which means it is constantly treating the skin both morning and night. It also is protective, shielding the skin from both UVA and UVB rays along with free radicals and pollution that are known for premature aging of the skin. Tomato Seed Oil is not only anti aging but also a brightening agent that improves skin texture, brightens your skin tone and hyperpigmentation along with healing irritation and rashes and acne. A true versatile product to throw in your bag when your skin needs a refreshment! 

Our Repair Serum is a do it all product. My main goal for this serum was to truly take the confusion out and combine multiple steps into one! Repair focuses on bringing together a vitamin c, hyaluronic acid, antioxidant and defense together in one easy step. Kakadu Plum is the main ingredient that is a powerhouse for skin brightening, antioxidants and collagen production replacing a synthetic vitamin c! With Licorice, Rice and Nettle Extracts you also have a triple threat in combatting acne, redness, inflammation and dull skin while firming the skin and giving a beautiful glow all day long! This can be used both morning and evening as well. 

To finish your routine, it is important to find a product that continues to nurture your skin continuously throughout the day and that is exactly what the Barrier Balm does. Regardless of your skin type or age, the Barrier Balm transforms your skin and balances without the unneeded fillers or synthetics that majority of skincare products do have. The Barrier Balm has a base of Beeswax and Mango Butter that create a barrier to the skin while shielding against free radicals, pollution, harsh UVA and UVB rays and more. With nurturing oils like Camellia, Blueberry, Red Raspberry and more your skin also will get a plethora of antioxidants and vitamins to help brighten, reduce inflammation, heal, renew collagen production and continue to give the glow from within finish without being greasy! It truly is a elevated skincare product we guarantee you've never tried before!

We hope you enjoyed this deep dive into the ingredients we use and the purpose behind them, it is so memorable to be able to create these products for you and see your skin transform with each use!
