Mini 7 Winters: Collagen & Tripeptide Plumping Serum

Plumping Firms & Smooths Fine Lines Hydrating
$38.00
8 ml / 0.3 fl oz · dropper

The same formula as the full-size 7 Winters, in a travel-size bottle that runs about 3 weeks. Firms, plumps, and softens the look of fine lines: a collagen treatment serum built around Tripeptide-29, the signal that tells your skin to restart collagen production, with vegetable collagen and niacinamide for the building materials and resveratrol to protect what you already have. Formulated in small weekly batches and kept at 4°C from raw ingredient to finished bottle, so the peptide keeps the exact shape it needs to signal with. A cushiony gel on a base of organic rose damascena distillate, it sinks in fast and layers cleanly under everything else. No chemical preservatives, because cold does their job. Made to let you experience the results before committing to the full size.

How to Use
Every evening:
  1. After cleansing and toning, dispense 7 drops into clean hands
  2. Pat gently onto face, neck, and décolletage (patting helps peptides penetrate rather than sit on the surface)
  3. Allow 60 seconds for absorption
  4. Layer Cryo-C serum on top for antioxidant protection
  5. Follow with D.B.T. Baba Yaga or your preferred moisturizer to seal everything in
Tip: For enhanced absorption, apply to slightly damp skin or mist with Gaea's Gala toner first.
Full Ingredient List
We formulate with ingredients most brands can't touch. Because our formulas live their whole lives cold, shelf stability never enters the equation: no swapping fragile peptides for tougher, weaker stand-ins, and no preservative system to design around. Just the best ingredient for the job, however delicate.

Key actives: Tripeptide-29, a signaling peptide that tells fibroblasts to restart collagen production; vegetable collagen and niacinamide (vitamin B3) for the amino-acid building blocks and barrier support; resveratrol, a polyphenol antioxidant that slows collagen breakdown.

Full list: Rose (Rosa Damascena) Distillate*, Vegetable Collagen, Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate, Vegetable Glycerin (Glycerin)*, Vitamin B3 (Niacinamide), Leuconostoc/Radish Root Ferment Filtrate, Tripeptide-29, Resveratrol, Xanthan Gum, Lecithin, Sclerotium Gum, Pullulan.

* Organic Ingredient
Storage
You don't need to refrigerate products during daily use, but we recommend finishing each bottle within 90 days of leaving the fridge. If you're not ready to start using a product right away, store it cold until you are (any household fridge is fine). Don't freeze water-based products, and shake well after thawing if any do freeze. Keep all products out of direct sunlight.
Common Questions
Is 7 Winters a moisturizer?
No. It's a treatment serum that delivers collagen-signaling peptides, amino acids, and antioxidants before anything else goes on. Apply after cleansing and toning, then follow with D.B.T. Baba Yaga or your preferred moisturizer to seal it in.
When will I see results?
Many reviewers describe skin that feels smoother and more plump within the first couple of weeks, and the mini comfortably covers that window. Firmer, more lifted-looking skin builds over time, because 7 Winters works by restarting collagen production rather than sitting on the surface.
How long does the mini last?
About 3 weeks using 7 drops once each evening: the 8 ml bottle holds well over 150 drops. It's the same concentrated formula as the full size, in a bottle sized to let you experience the results before committing. The full-size 50 ml bottle lasts 6 to 8 weeks.
Is the collagen vegan?
Yes. 7 Winters uses vegetable collagen, not bovine or marine-derived collagen. Like all Wild Ice products, the formula is 100% vegan and cruelty-free.
How do I layer it?
After cleansing and toning, before your moisturizer. For the full routine, layer Cryo-C on top for antioxidant protection, then seal with D.B.T. Baba Yaga.

Three actives, full potency

The collagen serum that arrives alive

Cold-preserved from the moment it's formulated: no warm warehouses, no months on a shelf, no chemical stabilizers. Three actives reach your skin at the same potency as the day they were made. Tap a card to see the mechanism.

Tripeptide-29

Restarts the rebuild signal

A signaling peptide of three amino acids (glycine, proline, hydroxyproline), the same ones that make up human collagen, arranged in a sequence your fibroblasts read as a rebuilding signal. When they encounter it, they respond as if collagen has broken down and needs replacement, and production restarts at the cellular level. The signal depends on the peptide's exact shape, which is the first thing heat takes apart.

Vegetable Collagen + Niacinamide

The building materials

Tripeptide-29 sends the signal; your skin still needs raw materials. Vegetable collagen supplies the amino-acid framework in the structural ratios your skin uses to assemble new fibers. Niacinamide strengthens the moisture barrier, reduces water loss, and supports collagen synthesis from a second angle: together, the building blocks and the environment to use them.

Resveratrol

Slows the breakdown

Collagen doesn't only thin because production slows; it also breaks down faster under oxidative stress, when free radicals activate the enzyme that cleaves collagen fibers. Resveratrol is a polyphenol antioxidant that neutralizes those free radicals, slowing the breakdown side while the peptide and collagen work on rebuilding. It also supports the elastin that lets skin bounce back rather than crease.

So what does all that heat do?

The Problem Was Never Your Routine.

Preservatives fight one problem. Heat causes three.

Bacterial growth 1

Bacterial Digestion

Bacteria multiply in warm formulas. Preservatives suppress them. Cold slows them too, without adding to what your skin has to absorb.

Oxidation reactions 2

Redox Reactions

Heat drives chemical reactions that degrade vitamin C, ceramides, and peptides. Preservatives don't slow this process. Cold does.

Enzymatic activity 3

Enzymatic Activity

Plant enzymes keep breaking down botanical compounds after harvest. Preservatives don't affect this. Cold puts them on pause.

Skincare mini fridge with a rotten banana
About those beauty fridges

Cold Can't Unspoil the Banana

Everyone wants fresh skincare. That's why beauty fridges are everywhere. But chilling a conventional serum makes about as much sense as refrigerating an old banana.

Your serum absorbed 1,956 degree-days of heat before it ever met a fridge. A banana at least has the courtesy to turn brown; a degraded cream looks and feels identical to a fresh one.

Beauty fridges make conventional skincare cold at the end. Wild Ice is cold from the beginning.

From our studio to your door

Cold from the very first step

Every Mini 7 Winters bottle is formulated in small weekly batches in our studio and held cold at 4°C, from raw ingredient through formulation.

Ingredients kept cold

Every ingredient stored at 4°C from the moment it arrives.

🧪

Formulated fresh

Formulated in small weekly batches, cold throughout.

📦

Held at 4°C

Finished bottles go straight into cold storage and stay there.

Shipped within days

Made fresh weekly, so actives are still active when they reach you.

So why don't all brands chill?

Between warm warehouses, hot freight, and un-chilled retail shelves, it's nearly impossible to get big while staying cold. The industry won't change until enough customers demand it. Someone had to take the plunge first, so we did.

Mila, founder of Wild Ice Botanicals

Fresh was never optional

I grew up in the Soviet Union watching my grandmother make skincare from her garden. It worked because it was fresh. There was no other option.

In 2018, I began cold-storing every ingredient and finished product. I hadn't changed a single formula; the reviews changed on their own. A national retailer offered us shelf placement but refused to refrigerate. We walked away.

Every product is made in our studio, in small weekly batches. I've worn every formula through three pregnancies. Every bottle is one I'd use on my own family.

Common questions about cold-preserved skincare

Frequently Asked Questions

No. 7 Winters is a treatment serum, not a moisturizer. It delivers collagen-signaling peptides, amino acids, and antioxidants to your skin before anything else goes on. Apply it after cleansing and toning, then follow with D.B.T. Baba Yaga or your preferred moisturizer to seal everything in.
Many reviewers describe smoother, more plump-feeling skin within the first couple of weeks, and the mini comfortably covers that window. Firmer, more lifted-looking skin builds gradually over time, because 7 Winters works by restarting collagen production rather than sitting on the surface. Consistency matters more than quantity; once every evening.
About 3 weeks using 7 drops once each evening: the 8 ml bottle holds well over 150 drops. It's the same concentrated formula as the full size, in a bottle sized to let you experience the results before committing. The full-size 50 ml bottle lasts 6 to 8 weeks.
Yes. Identical formula, same weekly batch cycle, same cold storage. The only differences are the bottle size and the dropper: the mini exists so you can experience the results before committing to the full size.
The full-size bottle uses a pump because it lives on your vanity for 6 to 8 weeks, and a pump keeps fingers and air out of the formula that whole time. The mini is finished in about three weeks, so a dropper keeps the bottle compact and travel-friendly. The same guidance applies to both: finish within 90 days of leaving the fridge.
Yes. The base is organic rose damascena distillate, which is anti-inflammatory. The formula contains no chemical preservatives, no synthetic fragrances, and no synthetic dyes. Multiple customers with sensitive and reactive skin use 7 Winters daily without irritation. There's a second factor most people don't consider: when peptides and proteins degrade through heat and oxidation, they form fragments that weren't in the original formula and can be sensitizing even when the parent ingredients were gentle. Cold preservation prevents that degradation, so the formula that reaches your skin is the one that was formulated.
You don't need to refrigerate products during daily use, but we recommend finishing each bottle within 90 days of leaving the fridge. If you're not ready to start using a product right away, store it cold until you are (the kitchen fridge is fine). Don't freeze water-based products, and keep all products out of direct sunlight. A beauty fridge is a nice bonus, not a requirement: the cold-preservation advantage happens before the product ever reaches you.
After cleansing and toning, before your moisturizer. Pat 7 Winters on first so the peptides reach the skin, then layer Cryo-C on top for antioxidant protection, and seal with D.B.T. Baba Yaga or your preferred moisturizer. On no-makeup days, some customers finish with Cryo-C alone.
No chemical preservatives (cold does the preserving), no synthetic fragrances (the scent comes from rose damascena distillate), no synthetic dyes, no parabens, no phthalates, no bovine or marine collagen, and no animal-derived ingredients. 7 Winters is 100% vegan and cruelty-free.
