In the treatment room
Most vitamin C conversations end with a client who tried one, found it stung, and never went back. Two stable derivatives — one oil-soluble, one water-soluble — give you brightness without the sting, which means you can recommend it to the people who need it most.
Usage testing was conducted on a diverse group of participants over five weeks. These are participant-reported results, and they are useful precisely because they are the outcome your client will judge you on.
After 5 weeks of use, participants reported
Protocol
Ramblin’ Rose, Bright Side and Freedom Fighter layered together is the house cocktail — water, antioxidant, seal.

Apply to clean, toned skin — damp, ideally.
Press into face and neck.
Blend with Ramblin’ Rose for an extra hydrating boost before the seal.
Follow with Freedom Fighter or Mama Pacha to finish.
Before you treat
Assess skin condition, treatment history and contraindications. This formula contains orange and palmarosa essential oils — see the ingredient list below.
Formulator’s note
“I had almost given up on recommending vitamin C. Every sensitive client came back saying it stung, and the ones who stuck with it were often the ones whose skin needed it least.
Two stable derivatives solved it — one oil-soluble to get depth, one water-soluble for surface brightness — and we put it through real usage testing rather than guessing. That is why I am comfortable putting it on a reactive client.”

The formula
A pomegranate juice base with a patented peptide, botanical brighteners and two forms of vitamin C.
The oil-soluble form of vitamin C, valued for how deeply it penetrates.
The water-soluble form — this is the one doing the visible surface brightening.
Vitamin B3 — supports barrier function, visible tone and overall skin comfort.
The botanical brightening complex that supports a more even-looking tone.
Derived from ginger — supports the skin’s own antioxidant defences against environmental stress.
