The summer pair. Soothe first. Refine second.
The Logic
Aloe Vera Gel is a calming, water-based gel that brings inflammation down and rehydrates the skin's surface. Cyperus Rotundus Oil is an active refinement oil that needs calm skin to do its work. Stacking the two in the correct order — Aloe first, Cyperus second — gives you both outcomes in a single ritual.
Morning vs Evening
Aloe in the morning. Cyperus at night. Never the other way around. Aloe's job is to prep and protect the skin against the day; Cyperus's job is to refine during the body's overnight repair window.
Summer Application
This pairing is the backbone of the Summer Silk Ritual. The 24-hour loop — Aloe AM, Cyperus PM — turns sun-stressed skin into the smoothest version of itself within three weeks. It is also the gentlest entry path for customers new to oils.
