Fresh Essentials for Combination Skin

Your T-zone and your cheeks want different things, and these formulas are gentle enough to give both what they need

Start with these three

Begin here

Gaea's Gala

Galactomyces ferment and niacinamide do the balancing here, in a formula built on six functional ingredients. It refines the look of pores across your T-zone and evens the look of tone everywhere else.

B-Meltee

A gel cleanser lifts the day off your T-zone and leaves your cheeks alone, and its niacinamide keeps working while you wash.

When you want more

D.B.T. Baba Yaga

The drier half of your face is the half that wants ceramides, so use it where you feel tight and go lighter down the middle.

Answered

The first question is the one our own line raises. Here is the honest answer.

My T-zone shines by lunch and my cheeks feel tight. Which of these do I buy?
Start with Gaea's Gala, since a balancing toner is the one step that suits both halves at once. B-Meltee is the next thing to change, if your current cleanser leaves your cheeks tight before you have reached the towel. Then use D.B.T. Baba Yaga only where you feel dry, which for most people means cheeks and jaw rather than forehead and nose. Three steps cover both halves without buying two of everything.
Is incorporating a toner in my skincare routine really necessary?

If you want healthy skin, then the answer is yes! Gaea’s gala helps to rebuild your skin’s microbiome so it retains moisture better, heals more easily, and absorbs your skincare products better.

Is Cryo-C okay to use on oily skin?

Yes! Think of Cryo-C like an essential vitamin. Your skin needs it, no matter what condition it’s in. We’ve formulated Cryo-C as a balancing oil-based serum that supports all skin types—including oily skin.

What exactly is niacinamide? Will it help with my sun spots?

Niacinamide is the active form of Vitamin B3--meaning it’s readily usable for your skin! Clinical studies have shown that topical niacinamide is not only super-safe, but it’s effective at improving skin texture and the appearance of dark spots and fine lines.

Is B-Meltee made with artificial dyes?

Absolutely not. Just like all of our other products, B-Meltee is made with only organic and natural extracts. That stunning blue color is a gift from nature!

What's actually in your products? Any hidden nasties?

Nothing hidden. Ever.

Thanks to cold preservation, we never need:

  • Parabens
  • Sulfates
  • Phthalates
  • Synthetic fragrances
  • Formaldehyde-releasing preservatives
  • BPAs
  • GMOs
  • Petroleum derivatives
  • Or any of those other unpronounceable chemicals

Cold inhibits all three types of breakdown: oxidation, enzymatic activity, and bacterial digestion. That means we can use pure, natural ingredients without compromise. Organic when possible, wild-crafted when it's better, always sustainably sourced.

All questions

Two jobs, one routine

Combination skin asks two things of you at the same time. Your T-zone wants something that will not feed the shine. Your cheeks want something that will not leave them tight. Most brands answer that by selling you two sets and letting you referee between them. That is a lot of work to hand a person before breakfast.

We answer it by keeping the ingredient lists short, and cold preservation is what makes that possible. The additives most likely to provoke one half of your face are the ones we leave out. Nothing here has to survive a year on a shelf. Put the toner on both halves and keep the richer cream for wherever your skin feels tight. Neither half has to lose so the other one wins.
