Sublime hydration for stronger, deeply soothed skin.

At once lightweight and deeply replenishing, this micro-cloud of moisture prevents trans-epidermal water loss and oxidative stress to restore stronger, brighter, visibly quenched, soothed and radiant skin. 

The Royal Revival Serum will diminish the look of fine lines and wrinkles and instantly plump your skin upon application, while delivering results in the long-term. 

Declared a Royal Tree in 1792, Indian sandalwood’s barrier-building benefits are boosted by its regal consort of Frankincense, the resin of Kings, and antioxidant powerhouse Queen’s Garnet.

Multiple Sources of Vitamin C, together with Hyaluronic Acid, Niacinamide, and resilient Australian botanicals including Tasmanian Kelp, Snake Vine and Blue Cypress all work together to feed your skin the foundational elements of what it needs to be its most buoyant incarnation. 

The Royal Revival Indian Sandalwood Hydration Serum is fast absorbing and effective for use at night and light enough to use during the day, synergising seamlessly with your skincare regime.

INDIAN SANDALWOOD BENEFITS

1. CALMS INFLAMMATION + REDNESS

When tested on skin cells in a 2021 study, Indian sandalwood oil was found to inhibit the movement of a protein complex known as NF-κB, which is involved in triggering the body's inflammatory response. 

2. BREAKS DOWN HYPERPIGMENTATION

The sesquiterpene α-santalol, a key component of sandalwood oil, is an effective natural inhibitor of the enzyme tyrosinase, which plays a central role in the production of melanin, the group of molecules responsible for pigmentation of skin. 

3. PRESERVES SKIN ELASTICITY

Indian sandalwood oil is proven through in vitro testing to preserve skin elasticity by inhibiting the activity of collagen-degrading enzymes. 

4. PREVENTS PREMATURE AGING 

When tested on human skin cells and tissues exposed to blue light and cigarette smoke, sandalwood oil outperformed even vitamin E (alpha tocopherol) in its ability to protect and rejuvenate the skin via its antioxidant potency.

5. IMPROVES HEALTHY SKIN CELL TURNOVER

When tested on human skin at low concentrations, Indian sandalwood oil has been proven to help eliminate damaged skin cells, allowing for the regeneration of new, healthy skin cells, resulting in younger and brighter looking skin.

6. SHRINKS PORES + FINE LINES 

The bioactive compounds in sandalwood oil help to improve overall skin texture, contributing to the appearance of smaller pores and reduced fine lines.

7. TREATS + PREVENTS BREAKOUTS

Due to its abundance of alpha santalol compounds, Indian sandalwood oil has been proven to be a safe antiseptic agent, making it an ideal treatment for acne, enlarged pores, congestion, and break-out prone skin.

HOW TO APPLY

In the morning and before bed, apply a small amount to clean (ideally slightly damp skin).

Follow with Heartwood Royal Oil or your favourite face oil/moisturiser/SPF to lock in the goodness.

CORE INGREDIENTS

INDIAN SANDALWOOD

Written into some of the world’s oldest beauty books for its ability to brighten, tighten, cool, protect and calm the skin, modern science is now validating what the ancients knew long before us about the power of Indian sandalwood:

1. CALMS INFLAMMATION + REDNESS

When tested on skin cells in a 2021 study, Indian sandalwood oil was found to inhibit the movement of a protein complex known as NF-κB, which is involved in triggering the body's inflammatory response.

QUEENS GARNET

The Queens Garnet plum contains a potent antioxidant called anthocyanin. Considered a flavonoid and part of the phenol group, anthocyanin not only helps to increase collagen protein synthesis to repair damaged skin, its anti-microbial properties help to treat and prevent breakouts.  

FRANKINCENSE

Known as ‘The Resin of Kings’, Frankincense helps to boost skin cell renewal and deliver naturally youthful radiance, boosting microcirculation and decreasing red and dark circle pigmentation.  A naturally potent remedy for scarring and inflammation, Frankincense is known for its ability to improve scars and stretch marks by encouraging moisture retention in the skin.
