Forage
The Winter Wake-Up Mask
Late-Harvest Botanicals in a Snow Mushroom Polysaccharide Matrix
Introduction
Forage – The Winter Wake-Up Mask is formulated to support skin experiencing seasonal dryness, dullness, and environmental stress. The composition centers on a snow mushroom polysaccharide matrix combined with hydrosols, humectants, minerals, and targeted botanical actives to restore visible softness, clarity, and balance.
The formulation focuses on hydration replenishment and tone support without exfoliation, making it suitable for repeated use during colder months or whenever skin appears fatigued.
Formulation Concept
Forage is structured around a polysaccharide gel network derived from snow mushroom and botanical gums. This matrix allows water-binding ingredients and active compounds to remain evenly distributed across the skin during application, supporting comfort, ingredient contact time, and uniform performance.
The hydrosol-forward base contributes immediate skin refreshment while supporting the delivery of brightening agents, minerals, and skin-conditioning components.
Key Ingredient Functions
Hydration & Moisture Retention
Glycerin, aloe vera juice, snow mushroom extract, beta-glucan, colloidal oat, and allantoin support water binding, barrier comfort, and surface smoothness, helping to counteract dryness and tightness associated with seasonal changes.
Brightening & Tone Support
Ethyl ascorbic acid, tetrahydrocurcumin, diacetyl boldine, niacinamide, and licorice-root–derived plant-based exosomes support visible brightness and tone clarity while remaining suitable for frequent use.
Hydrosol Complex
Cucumber, chamomile, orange blossom, peppermint, and lemon balm hydrosols contribute antioxidant activity and skin comfort, creating a cooling, refreshed skin feel without heaviness.
Botanical & Nutrient Support
Cranberry and cherry extracts, panax ginseng root extract, marine collagen hydrolysate, magnesium chloride, and potassium gluconate support skin vitality and resilience.
Prebiotic & Conditioning Components
Fructooligosaccharides help support a balanced skin environment, complementing the formulation’s restorative intent.
