In the treatment room
The seal, and the overnight mask.
Named for the Andean goddess who sustains life from the earth, Mama Pacha is formulated around botanicals and marine glycoproteins that survive conditions nothing else does. In practice that means moisture that is still there hours later rather than twenty minutes later.
It is also the base of the overnight mask worth teaching every dry client — three products they already have, mixed in the palm.
The overnight mask
- 1–2 pumps Mama Pacha
- 1–2 pumps Ramblin’ Rose
- 2–4 drops Freedom Fighter
- Mix and apply to face, neck and décolleté

Formulator’s note
Ingredients that survive things
“I kept coming back to the same idea while I was formulating this: what grows where nothing should? Arctic marine glycoproteins, nettle, horsetail, gotu kola — plants and organisms built to hold onto water in conditions that take it away.
Mama Pacha is named for the Andean goddess who sustains life from the earth, and the whole formula is an argument that resilience is something you can put in a jar.”

The formula
Lipids, peptides and a herbal infusion.
An aloe base with jojoba, squalane, mango butter and camellia, carrying the seven-herb extract complex.
Arctic Peptides
Marine glycoproteins that help protect skin in cold-weather conditions and deeply moisturise.
Beta-Glucan
Penetrating and calming — supports comfort in skin that is dry and easily irritated.
Mango Seed Butter
Nutrient-rich and barrier-protecting, without the heaviness of a true balm.
Gotu Kola
Soothing and regenerating — a long-standing favourite for dry, stressed skin.
Sodium Hyaluronate
Low molecular weight, so it draws moisture in rather than sitting on the surface.

Professional questions
Good to know
Is it too rich for combination skin?
It is deliberately light-medium weight so it can layer. For oily or congested skin, Ramblin’ Rose alone or Balanced Being is usually the better finish.
What is the overnight mask?
1–2 pumps Mama Pacha, 1–2 pumps Ramblin’ Rose and 2–4 drops Freedom Fighter, mixed and applied to face, neck and décolleté.
Can it go over an AHA toner?
Yes — for normal or mature skin, layering Moment of Clarity then Mama Pacha then Freedom Fighter is a favourite overnight combination.
What are arctic peptides?
Marine glycoproteins — Pseudoalteromonas ferment extract — from organisms that survive extreme cold. They help protect skin in harsh conditions and deeply moisturise.
Does it contain essential oils?
Yes — bergamot (non-photosensitizing), ylang ylang and jasmine absolute. Balanced Being is the gentler alternative.
