Nightessence™ from Ashland™ optimizes skin’s nighttime needs; it’s the first biofunctional of its kind to meet the “clean sleep” and “beauty sleep” trends. This premium lavender extract enhances the natural nocturnal process that helps skin boost molecules such as timezyme, melatonin, and nocturnin. These molecules are associated with skin’s ability to repair, detox, cleanse, and renew. Nightessence™ is grown sustainably and extracted using the patented and proprietary Plant Small RNA technology (PSR™) from Ashland™.
