Lightweight hydration that supports your skin barrier without fragrance, essential oils, or unnecessary ingredients. Nothing added for scent — just a subtle natural coffee aroma from coffee seed oil.


If your skin reacts to everything, start here.

I couldn't use most facial oils — even the "gentle" ones.
Fragrance, essential oils, long ingredient lists… my skin didn't tolerate it.

So I made something simpler.


One oil. Morning or night. That's it.

A minimalist facial oil designed to:

  • support your skin barrier
  • soften dry, tight skin
  • improve the look of uneven tone over time

No extra steps. No complicated routine.


Why this facial oil is different

Most facial oils rely on fragrance or essential oils to feel luxurious.
This one doesn't.

Instead, it's formulated with:

  • barrier-supporting lipids
  • stable, research-backed antioxidants
  • a short, intentional ingredient list

No essential oils
No added fragrance
Nothing included just for scent or marketing


What your skin actually gets

Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate (Vitamin C)

Helps improve the look of uneven tone and dullness

Vitamin E (d-Alpha Tocopherol)

Supports the skin barrier and helps protect against environmental stress

Olive-Derived Squalane

Lightweight, non-greasy hydration that helps prevent moisture loss

Sunflower Seed Oil

Rich in linoleic acid to support barrier repair and softness

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride (Fractionated Coconut Oil)

A silky, fast-absorbing base that smooths without heaviness

Coffee Seed Oil

Adds a subtle natural aroma (no fragrance added) and antioxidant support

Pentylene Glycol

A gentle humectant that helps draw and retain moisture — rare in an oil formula


How it feels

Lightweight, silky, and fast-absorbing.
Leaves your skin soft and comfortable — not greasy or coated.

No added fragrance.
Just a subtle natural scent from the raw ingredients.


Who it's for

  • Sensitive or reactive skin
  • Dry or dehydrated skin
  • Fragrance intolerance
  • Damaged or compromised skin barrier
  • Minimalist skincare routines

How to use

Apply 2–3 drops to damp or dry skin.

Use as:

  • your daily moisturizer (morning or night)
  • the final step to seal in hydration
  • a gentle oil cleanser or makeup remover

Full ingredient transparency

Only 7 ingredients. Nothing unnecessary. Nothing hidden.

Why I made this

I'm a lab tech and formulator — and someone with sensitive skin.

I created this because I couldn't find a facial oil that didn't rely on fragrance or unnecessary ingredients.

This is what I wanted: something simple, effective, and calm.

Ingredients

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride (Fractionated Coconut Oil)*, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil*, (Olive) Squalane, Coffea Arabica L. (Seed) Oil, Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate (Vitamin C), d-Alpha Tocopherol (Vitamin E), Pentylene Glycol

Directions

Although this product is made with 100% natural ingredients, a patch test is recomended before use. Do this by applying a small amount of product to your forearm and waiting 24 hours to see if irritation occurs.

Best applied after washing face to seal in skin's moisture. Add 2-3 drops and massage or press onto skin to absorb. Tightly secure lids and store in cool, dry place. Since all our products are made fresh with 100% natural ingredients without harsh or chemical preservatives, avoid introducing water into the container to ensure your all-natural product is not compromised. 

Made fresh to order, once opened your serum should be good for a year.

Multi-purpose skincare hero!

I 'm always on the lookout for multi-tasking products and this checks all the boxes: a makeup remover, cleanser, and serum all in one! Every drop is packed with natural goodness that's gentle and nourishing, leaving my skin soft and pampered. I received a roller along with the bottle, and I just love the pretty colour and how easy it is to apply. It's my little multi-purpose skincare hero!

Great product for sensitive skin and eyes

Light feel and light coffee scent - perfect for my sensitive skin and eyes.

Thank you so much, Tara! I’m so glad you’re enjoying demulcere Serum. ❤️ I created this lightweight facial oil for sensitive skin, with a simple formula and a naturally light coffee scent from the raw coffee seed oil with no essential oils or added fragrance. It means so much to hear that the texture and scent have been a good fit for you. Thank you for sharing your experience!

This serum fit very easily into my routine

This serum is a real treat for the skin! It feels very nourishing, absorbs well, and leaves no heaviness. I had been using beef tallow but found it too heavy and oily for my skin. demulcere Serum gave me the moisture I was looking for without that greasy feeling. It also helped the dry, flaky skin around my temples and hairline. It's the best it's been in a long time.

Great Serum!

I really like this facial oil serum. It is an all -in- one facial oil that I can also use as a cleanser. After applying, my face did not feel sticky at all but felt very soft and hydrated.
