Founders note:
"We are thrilled to bring back Modern Alchemist, one of our most beloved products, a true favorite that has been at the heart of our loyal customer base. When we first launched Gentlerist, many of you expressed your disappointment that Modern Alchemist wasn’t available from day one. We heard you, and we're excited to finally launch it, now with some updates that make it even better. Modern Alchemist has always been known for its deep, nourishing, and rejuvenating benefits—a reliable and impactful oil that has stood the test of time. We've intentionally left its foundation intact, preserving the powerful ingredients that you love, while adding key updates to further enhance its performance."
What’s New in Modern Alchemist:
A More Robust Bio-Retinol Complex: With favorites like Rosehip strengthened by Bakuchiol, Beta-Carotene, and Micro-Algae Extract, this complex works to smooth fine lines, boost collagen production, and promote skin regeneration without the irritation typically associated with retinol. Bakuchiol is one of the only actives in existence recognized to possess virtually the same anti-aging benefits as retinol, earning its reputation as the "plant alternative to retinol." Beta-Carotene, a natural and pure Vitamin A analog, stimulates skin regeneration and provides potent antioxidant protection. Micro-Algae Extract, so rich in Vitamin A, is sometimes referred to by labs as marine-retinol, further enhancing this complex’s ability to promote skin renewal and reduce signs of aging.
Pure Vitamin K2: Added to support circulation and reduce puffiness—essential for keeping mature skin vibrant and healthy.
Omega-Lipid Complex: The piece de résistance of Modern Alchemist. We've enhanced this already nourishing, revolumizing blend to include pure ceramides, phospholipids, and plant cholesterol extract, all of which are bioidentical to the skin’s natural compounds, offering even greater support to restore skin’s density, elasticity, and barrier function.
We are proud to bring Modern Alchemist back with these powerful updates. Thank you for your continued support and for making Modern Alchemist a part of your skincare journey.
Apply oils after the skin has been cleansed and toned. Lighter water-based serums should be applied before oils or mixed together.
• Start by gently shaking the bottle to activate the concentrate
• Dispense onto the palm. The amount needed will differ from a few drops to a dropper full based on individual skin condition and climate. Use a light hand when introducing into a regimen, starting with just 3 to 5 drops and adjust to the desired amount based on skin feedback
• Bring fingers from the free hand together with the oil so it is dispersed on both hands. The palm will serve as the passive-smoothing instrument while the fingers provide more targeted massage for optimal absorption
• Press palm on cheeks and forehead and use fingers to gently massage skin in upward motions moving away from the center of the face
• Pay attention to press the oil into fine lines, wrinkles, and areas prone to dryness
• Massage along temples and jawline, the oil serves as a conduit to ease tension and lift stress
• Use daily morning and evening, or as a super-charged serum when skin needs a boost from regular oils.
Use within 8 months of opening for optimal freshness.
