At LINNÉ, we often get asked why we don’t just blend all our actives into one “all-in-one” cream. The answer comes down to science, potency, and skin health.

Your skin is a remarkable organ composed of both lipids (fats and oils) and water. To truly nourish it, you need both oil-soluble and water-soluble nutrients. But here’s the catch: many of the most effective ingredients don’t play well together when bottled in one formula.

The Benefits of Keeping Oils and Water-Soluble Actives Separate

• Potency and stability: Water-soluble actives like vitamin C, niacinamide, and peptides are fragile and can degrade when blended with oils. By formulating separately, we preserve their strength.
  
  

• Cleaner formulas: Without the need for heavy emulsifiers, waxes, or unnecessary stabilizers, we can deliver pure, active ingredients with minimal filler.
  
  

• Targeted support: Oils can be optimized to deliver essential fatty acids and antioxidants, while water-based serums can focus on hydration, brightening, and barrier repair.
  
  

The Magic Happens When Combined

At application, oils and waters merge, just like they do naturally in your skin. The oil phase softens the barrier, helping water-based actives penetrate more effectively. This means enhanced absorption, better results, and a sensorial experience that feels both nourishing and refreshing.

Customization Is Key

Because you’re blending at the moment of use, you can choose the perfect product and ratio for your skin. This flexibility transforms every application into a ritual of listening and responding to your skin’s unique needs. Since skin is not static and changes with season, climate, and even stress, we encourage you to adapt as you go. To guide you, here’s a simple key for pairing our nutrient oils with RENEW serum.

Blending on demand lets you adapt to exactly what your skin is asking for:  no waste, no compromise, just whole-plant nutrition in perfect harmony.

The Result

Whole-plant nutrition at its most potent, with no compromises. Fresh, customizable, and effective, because we believe skincare should be as intelligent and adaptable as the skin itself.
