Midnight in Bloom Serum

A silky, nourishing night serum to hydrate, restore, and soften skin while you sleep.

About This Serum

Midnight in Bloom is a deeply nourishing night oil designed to help your skin recover and regenerate while you rest. It balances hydration and repair, leaving skin silky and radiant by morning.

This formula blends fast-absorbing oils like grapeseed, olive-derived squalane, and coco caprylate with nutrient-rich botanicals including rosehip and evening primrose, both known for their restorative properties. Sunflower oil helps strengthen the skin barrier, supporting moisture retention and calming inflammation.

Aromatic absolutes of jasmine and rose offer skin-softening benefits alongside a luxurious scent. The addition of essential oils like lavender, geranium, rosemary, coriander, and turmeric brings extra soothing, balancing, and protective qualities.

This serum supports elasticity, hydration, and overall skin resilience. Ideal for dry, sensitive, or mature skin, it helps soften the appearance of fine lines, even skin tone, and deliver a natural glow.

Substitutions & Simplifying

This is a beautifully complex serum, but if you’d like to simplify it, here are some easy substitutions:

• Carrier oils:
  Swap the grapeseed, evening primrose, sunflower and rosehip oils for any combination of your favourite lightweight carrier oils. You could simplify to just squalane + coco caprylate + one carrier oil (e.g. rosehip or jojoba) for a streamlined version.
• Coco caprylate:
  Optional, but it adds a silky, lightweight skin feel. If you don’t have it, replace with more squalane or grapeseed oil.
• Essential oils & absolutes:
  You can use just one or two essential oils rather than the full blend. The jasmine and rose absolutes are for that luxurious floral scent — you can leave them out or swap for lavender, geranium, or your favourite affordable essential oil.
• Squalane:
  Highly recommended for its skin barrier support and lightweight, non-greasy texture. If unavailable, substitute with jojoba oil.
• Vitamin E:
  This is optional but recommended as it helps extend the shelf life of the oils and offers antioxidant benefits.
