Where it sits on the ramp
Five flood bands, F-100 to F-500, by how dilute the formula is.
F-200
The daily routine: hydrate, barrier, protect, mist, lip.
How to use it
- 01Anywhere below the jawline, on the areas where the texture has changed.
- 02Use it morning and night.
- 03Introduce one new active at a time, so an irritation has one obvious cause.
What’s inside
Every active, and what it is doing there.
The number on the bottle is a position on a scale. This is what sits behind it.
-
ACTIVE
Signal peptide
A short chain used widely for the appearance of firmness and smoothness. Same peptide class as the face range.
-
SUPPORTING
Ceramides
Barrier lipids. Skin makes its own; these top up what cleansing and actives take out.
-
SUPPORTING
Shea butter
A rich occlusive used where skin is thick and washed often.
These are the actives and the supporting ingredients we formulate around. The complete INCI list is being added to every product page.

I wash my hands forty times a shift and they were cracking at the knuckles. Two weeks of this and they are properly soft. It does not leave a film so I can go straight back to work.

Sinks in immediately, no slippery phone
That alone is worth it.

Lovely texture and no scent
Slightly small tube for the price, but it is concentrated so it lasts.

Questions
Frequently asked
Common questions about the hand cream
What does the colour on the bottle mean?
It is the dose. Every product floods one of five steps of the same blue: the palest is the cleansers, where water does the work, and full-strength cupric is reserved for the four copper products. A product cannot change band because of a season or a repackage.
Why is copper limited to four products?
Because a flagship that can be extended forever is not a flagship. GHK-Cu at full dose is the most expensive thing we make and it stays on the face, in four products. If we launch a fifth copper SKU, we will have changed our minds in public rather than quietly.
Do you publish the percentages?
On every product, in the first chapter of the page, before any claim is made about it. Where a formula is a blend rather than a single active, the page shows the blend instead of inventing a headline number.
How do I know what not to layer?
It is printed in the how-to-use block on each product, not buried in an FAQ. The short version: copper peptides and direct acids do not go on together, and a retinal night is followed by SPF in the morning.
Where do I start?
The copper protocol — the blue serum, the barrier cream and the daily spf. Treat, repair-adjacent support, and protection, which is the whole argument of the system in three steps.
Before you buy
The number is a position, not a grade.
Every active at the percentage it is used at, and what not to layer it with — stated before any claim is made about it.
