"We harness the natural power of Ocean & Earth to bring you safe, ethical, sustainable products." — Earth Harbour Naturals
Meet Ali Perry-Hatch, MPH: the beach wanderer, herbalist and health scientist, who created Earth Harbor Naturals out of her treehouse kitchen.
EARTH HARBOR was born with the mission of creating the highest-quality, ocean-friendly, self-care products that are beyond non-toxic, synthetic-free, and plant-based. Because clean beauty means a clean conscience, they believe in giving you products that are also ethical, sustainable, versatile, and scientific. Both you and our planet require this comprehensive approach for long term health and beauty.
Samphire Sea Retinol Digital Serum 1oz
From the wildcrafted Sea Samphire plant, SAMPHIRE Sea-Retinol Digital Serum is a proven botanical that acts like retinol. Except this green queen is naturally non-irritating, non-photosensitizing, and overflowing with phyto-Vitamin C— giving your skin the rare opportunity to renew itself both day and night through biomimicry. Her blurring + hydrating formula also protects skin from degenerative blue light exposure (ie. cellphones & computers).
A guilt-free fountain of youthful glow, Samphire not only reigns as a safe retinol-like alternative and blue light blocker but also leads as a sustainable one. Sea Samphire is a rapidly renewable succulent plant, unlike the endangered species and trending retinol replacement, bakuchiol. Samphire is also pregnancy-friendly, specifically designed for sensitive skin, and eliminates the need to gradually build up a tolerance to retinol. Dive right in!
Night Serum:
Shake well before use. Separation is natural and expected. Apply 2-4 drops to clean skin and massage in as a leave-on treatment. Use daily for amplified results.
Note*: A mild cooling sensation is normal, particularly for the first few uses. Samphire is also pregnancy-friendly, specifically designed for sensitive skin, and eliminates the need to gradually build up a tolerance to retinol. Dive right in!
Taking Care: Store at room temperature and out of direct sunlight.
Target Concern:
→ Fine Lines & Wrinkles
→ Uneven Texture & Rough Skin
→ Blue Light Exposure
→ Dryness
Why Sea Retinol Serum is good for you?
Sea Samphire helps blur imperfections like fine lines & wrinkles while helping skin regain a smooth, unclogged finish. With proven benefits comparable to retinol. Samphire is the plant-derived alternative to a standard 1% retinol serum. It also has high levels of Vitamin C and other essential antioxidants that help safeguard skin against free radicals known to cause premature aging.
Banana Fruit Juice, Red Algae, Ocean MSM, and Persian Lilac Extract holistically combine to protect skin from blue light damage and help reverse effects of artificial light on skin— all while perfecting overall appearance of skin through superabundant bio-actives.
Coconut Water, Vegan Hyaluronic Acid, Fermented Beet Sodium Lactate, and Vegetable Glycerin give skin a strengthened, bouncy feeling through synergistic hydration and moisture retention properties.
