This perennial herb has been used for centuries in Ayurvedic practices to boost the immune system. Since the days of the indigenous people in America, this magic herb has proven its antiseptic abilities in being used to heal cuts and wounds. It’s only recently that wild indigo’s powers have been bottled up to improve our skin by soothing and reducing redness.

Wondering if it works?

Irritation, age spots, wrinkles, and blemishes, will be a problem of the past if wild indigo is in your daily serum. The powerful ingredient decreases inflammation and that’s only the beginning! This blossom is so strong that it can reconstruct skin tissue.

Did we mention that Wild Indigo is an adaptogen? Adaptogens are all the rave right now. These skin-savers are natural plants, flowers, and mushrooms that help us kick stressed skin to the curb. Wild indigo extract is a powerful antioxidant uniquely suited to neutralize redness, boost luminosity, and combat visible effects of environmental stressors. This is because this magical herb naturally balances cortisol levels in the skin.

What’s cortisol?

A hormone that your body releases when you’re undergoing stress – think of it as the built-in alarm in our body. This hormone can wreak havoc on your skin and your health—stress is not cute! In case of prolonged exposure to stress (such as pollution, smoke, sleep deprivation, UV damage), skin cells do not stop producing cortisol which decreases the skin’s natural ability to retain water which can lead to fine lines (that are not so fine) and wrinkles, redness, and inflammation.

Wild indigo breaks down excessive cortisol production which visibly smooths, evens, and brightens skin tone. Topical application of skincare products that contain active levels of wild indigo extract can even help to alleviate skin ulcers and treat the underlying cause as well. It seems there’s nothing wild indigo can’t do. This epic ingredient is fit to reduce the appearance of environmentally triggered redness and dark under-eye bags but the only bags we want are Prada!

Why do you need it?

Wild indigo does a lot of heavy lifting in your skincare routine so that you don't have to. This exclusive extract has demonstrated its unique biological capabilities to break down the cortisol production by skin cells. It also activated the release of a natural calming neuropeptide which can boost your mood. Just when you thought it couldn't get any better, this herb proves its powers in noticeably improving skin tone in just two weeks, proving to be a fast action fix to control skin stress.

A Super-Hero Ingredient to Add to Your Routine

We’re sensitive, so we understand you can be sensitive too. We design our products to be 100% sensitive skin compatible and for all skin types. That’s why we use wild indigo extract: its ability to reduce inflammation makes this ingredient the tailor-made fit for sensitive and acne-prone skin. It’s also known for its success in reducing redness and irritation.

Our RESSURECTION All-in-One Serum was made for every skin type to do the work so that you don’t have to. So, of course, wild indigo is a key ingredient. Our serum’s unique blend actively works to diminish the effect of modern-life stressors on the skin. Adaptogens (like wild indigo) strengthen the barrier function of your skin, helping stressed skin recover to get you your youthful glow. It works in a simple, effective way by inhibiting your body’s cortisol response. This powerful botanical extract clicks pause on your body’s response to stress which, in turn, reduces redness, irritation, and inflammation.

Proven Results

Lab studies and consumer trials on Wild Indigo extract (also known as neurophroline)  have proven its potent dual fast-acting stress-repair action: balancing cortisol in the body, reducing its production by 70%, while also stimulating the naturally relaxing, pain-relief peptide in the skin (beta-endorphin) by 163%.[1] WOW.

So, if you're experiencing occasional breakouts, dull or uneven skin tone, just know that the solution is a few clicks away from arriving at your doorstep. That solution is our multi-correctional one-step serum. Prepare for a glow-up because a noticeably refreshed glow is what you get when you let this serum work its magic on your skin. To help you achieve your ultimate calm, we’ve paired wild indigo with a Lactobacillus probiotic ferment. This duo works to fortify your skin’s natural defense system and supports a healthy microbiome by forming a protective shield over your largest organ: your skin.

Wild indigo extract fits perfectly like a Cinderella slipper in our RESSURECTION All-in-One Serum to protect and transform your skin, bringing you to a new level of radiance. It’s the perfect multi-tasking liquid gold to elevate your skincare routine.
