"I'm speechless..."
"Since I started using the glow nectar six months ago I've noticeably firmed up my skin. The "glow" is real as well. I was looking at old pictures the other day. I don't think my skin has been this bright now at 57 since my twenties... I've had similar results from strong retinoids but they always left my skin red and peeling. That has no longer been an issue. My skin drinks it in and is a dream to apply.
I wanted to try something new from Hibi and after talking to the founder Sydney she recommended the restoration balm since it soothes and hydrates in a way the glow nectar can't do alone. I was a little nervous because most "tallow" type products had left my skin feeling waxy, oily, or both. She guarantees her products though so I decided to give it a try.
Woah. The first time I used it I was shocked at how fast it absorbed and woke up to the softest skin I've had in a very long time. I've only been using it for a few weeks now but to my surprise I've yet to have any issues with clogged pores and it feels very nourishing every time I use it.
I'm excited to see the future results. Thank you for putting these two together!"

CERAMOSIDES™ PHYTOCERAMIDES
Scientific Name: Wheat (Gluten-Free) Phytoceramides
Origin: USA
Description: Ceramosides™ by Seppic are gluten-free, wheat-derived phytoceramides that mirror the ceramides naturally found in your skin and hair. While ceramides make up 50% of the "cement" that holds your skin cells together like bricks in a wall, they decline significantly as we age - leading to dryness, wrinkles, and hair thinning.
KALOS delivers a concentrated serving of Ceramosides™ that work from within to restore what time takes away. The double-blind, placebo-controlled studies behind behind these phytoceramides are remarkable:
Skin transformation - Ceramosides™ increased skin hydration by 36.8% and improved elasticity by 35.9% within 60 days, with initial visible improvements in just two weeks. Aesthetically this translated to wrinkle depth, smoother texture, and that plump, youthful glow that comes from properly hydrated skin.
Amazingly results persisted for weeks following cessation of supplementation, confirming cumulative benefits build over time.
Hair revival - Ceramosides™ significantly increases the proportion of hair in the active growth phase while reducing hair loss. In clinical trials, participants saw 15-18 times more new hair growth compared to placebo, with stronger, more resilient strands that resist breakage.

PASTURE-RAISED BISON TALLOW
Scientific Name: Adeps Bovis
Origin: Pacific Northwest, USA
Description: Tallow has been used to nourish and protect skin for thousands of years, from scorching Egypt to the high, cold deserts of Central Asia.
Tallow from humanely-raised pasture bison offer superior nutrients not found in typical tallow. In fact, grass-fed bison tallow can contain up to 300% more α-Linolenic acid (ALA omaga-3) compared to conventional tallow as well as significantly higher amounts of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA).
ALA has been studied for it's potential ability to prevent sun spots as well as improve skin barrier function which keeps moisture in and toxins out. Meanwhile CLA has demonstrated in animal studies its ability to hydrate skin and decrease inflammation.

COLOSTRUM
Scientific Name: Colostrum
Origin: New Zealand
Description: Bovine colostrum, often referred to as "liquid gold," is the first milk produced by cows immediately after giving birth. Treasured since ancient times, it was reserved for royalty in Egypt and top warriors in Greece.
Colostrum contains several bioactive compounds that can help promote clearer, softer, and more youthful looking skin. These include:
Peptide growth factors - studies have shown these protein building blocks may help stimulate collagen production, helping to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Lactoferrin - recent studies have shown that lactoferrin supplementation can help reduce acne by up to 28% as well as help improve skin texture and hydration during the winter months. Furthermore, animal studies as well as en vitro studies have shown that lactoferrin may be effective at supporting the synthesis of collagen and hyaluronan in the skin - two components essential for youthful, healthy skin.
We source our colostrum from New Zealand with confidence thanks to their strict agricultural standards, pristine environment, and grass-fed farming practices.

DATE EXTRACT
Scientific Name: Phoenix Dactylifera
Origin: Middle East
Description: Often referred to as the “tree of life” by ancient cultures, modern cosmetic researchers have discovered a renewed interest in the fruit of this tree.
Specifically the date kernel has a diverse antioxidant profile consisting of phytosterols, isoflavones, and tocopherols that may help improve skin barrier function and combat premature aging.
In fact, a 2002 study demonstrated a 28% reduction in wrinkles over just a five week period.

BLUE TANSY FLOWER OIL
Scientific Name: Tanacetum annuum L.
Origin: Morocco
Description: Our blue tansy flower oil yields a uniquely invigorating and uplifting quality to the Restoration Balm. Its deep indigo hue imparts a distinctive color to the final product due to its significant chamazulene component.
We don’t just include this for the aesthetics though. Chamazulene is an antioxidant that’s shown evidence to be even more potent than Vitamin C and Vitamin E. Other components of this rare oil include alpha-pinene, myrcene, and theophylline.
These additional components have been studied for their ability to attenuate UV-induced photoaging and inhibit enzymes that break down the collagen and elastin that give our skin its youthful appearance. These properties indicate that blue tansy flower oil is a potent anti-aging botanical.

TREMELLA MUSHROOM
Scientific Name: Tremella fuciformis
Origin: Canada
Description: Tremella mushroom, also known as snow mushroom or white jelly mushroom, has been a staple in Traditional Chinese Medicine for centuries, prized for its beauty-enhancing properties.
Often seen as a natural hyaluronic acid alternative, it has an extraordinary ability to retain water, holding up to 500x its weight in moisture. This makes tremella excellent for pulling moisture into the skin and giving a "plumping" effect.
Tremella is rich in polysaccharides, which have been shown to have potent antioxidant properties. Animal studies have shown these antioxidants help protect collagen and hydration in UV-exposed skin.

POMEGRANATE OIL
Scientific Name: Punica Granatum
Origin: Turkey
Description: In Ancient Greek mythology, the pomegranate often represents life and regeneration - a fitting representation considering what modern research has revealed about this nutritious fruit. Pomegranate oil is revered by beauty enthusiasts for its ability to plump and perk up tired skin.
Beautiful, youthful skin depends on collagen for structure, elastin for suppleness, and hyaluronic acid for hydration. However, external stressors such as UV radiation can trigger the activation of collagenase, elastase, and hyaluronidase enzymes which destroy these important components. An en vitro 2023 study showed that pomegranate seed oil had the ability to inhibit these destructive enzymes by 70-80%!
One of the star nutrients in pomegranate seed oil is the rare omega-5 punicic acid. This unique fatty acid works by both preventing moisture loss through the skin while also accelerating the regenerative process in the skin responsible for the production of proteins and barrier lipids. The result? Plumper, more supple skin.

SEA BUCKTHORN BERRY OIL
Scientific Name: Hippophae rhamnoides L.
Origin: Germany
Description: Packed with over 200 bioactive fatty acids, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, sea buckthorn berry oil is arguably one of the most effective anti-aging oils currently being studied. It’s so powerful in fact that it’s been used as an auxiliary product in the treatment of frostbites and skin damages from exposure to UV radiation.
One of the key components of this oil is the rare omega-7 palmitoleic fatty acid. This single compound makes up over 35% of sea buckthorn berry oil and has been shown to significantly improve the skin barrier, improve skin elasticity, and reduce the appearance of dark spots and wrinkles.
In addition to the the presence of various antioxidants help the skin combat wrinkle-inducing oxidative stress. This includes carotenoids which give the oil its rich amber color and immediately impart a “glow” to the skin giving it a fresh and healthy appearance.

BAKUCHIOL
Scientific Name: Bakuchiol
Origin: India
Description: Bakuchiol is a monoterpene derived from the Psoralea Corylifolia seed, a plant widely used in traditional Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine. Today, bakuchiol it’s often referred to as “nature’s retinol alternative”.
Studies have shown bakuchiol functions as an analog to retinol when it comes to "reversing the signs of aging, providing skin protection from sun induced damage... and modulating pigmentation control."
In fact, a recent study involving 44 patients carried out by UC-Davis Dermatologists showed both retinol and bakuchiol to be statistically equivalent in decreasing wrinkle surface area and hyperpigmentation. Over just twelve weeks, the patients in the bakuchiol group saw a 19% decrease in wrinkle surface area while 59% of the patients saw a decrease in hyperpigmentation.
The best part? Unlike retinol, Bakuchiol is photo-stable and much more friendly towards sensitive skin. This means that it can be used during the day without the irritation, burning, and peeling usually associated with retinol.

THD VITAMIN C
Scientific Name: Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate
Origin: USA
Description: Nearly two thousand years ago, the Roman would use rose hips to help heal wounds. Though they did not know it at the time rose hips are an extremely potent form of collagen-stimulating Vitamin C.
Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbe, or THD for short, is an oil soluble form of Vitamin C and a modern breakthrough. An anti-aging staple, Vitamin C has been shown to help increase collagen production, promote an even skin tone, and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Compared to the ascorbic acid used by most skincare brands, however, THD is more stable and less likely to cause irritation due to its non-acidic nature. It’s also been suggested to penetrate the skin more efficiently based on en vitro studies which have shown it to be up to 150% more effective that typical ascorbic acid.
Combined with Bakuchiol, these two compounds offer a synergistic antioxidant effect which supports graceful aging.

BAKUCHIOL
Scientific Name: Bakuchiol
Origin: India
Description: Bakuchiol is a monoterpene derived from the Psoralea Corylifolia seed, a plant widely used in traditional Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine. Today, bakuchiol it’s often referred to as “nature’s retinol alternative”.
Studies have shown bakuchiol functions as an analog to retinol when it comes to "reversing the signs of aging, providing skin protection from sun induced damage... and modulating pigmentation control."
In fact, a recent study involving 44 patients carried out by UC-Davis Dermatologists showed both retinol and bakuchiol to be statistically equivalent in decreasing wrinkle surface area and hyperpigmentation. Over just twelve weeks, the patients in the bakuchiol group saw a 19% decrease in wrinkle surface area while 59% of the patients saw a decrease in hyperpigmentation.
The best part? Unlike retinol, Bakuchiol is photo-stable and much more friendly towards sensitive skin. This means that it can be used during the day without the irritation, burning, and peeling usually associated with retinol.

THD VITAMIN C
Scientific Name: Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate
Origin: USA
Description: Nearly two thousand years ago, the Roman would use rose hips to help heal wounds. Though they did not know it at the time rose hips are an extremely potent form of collagen-stimulating Vitamin C.
Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbe, or THD for short, is an oil soluble form of Vitamin C and a modern breakthrough. An anti-aging staple, Vitamin C has been shown to help increase collagen production, promote an even skin tone, and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Compared to the ascorbic acid used by most skincare brands, however, THD is more stable and less likely to cause irritation due to its non-acidic nature. It’s also been suggested to penetrate the skin more efficiently based on en vitro studies which have shown it to be up to 150% more effective that typical ascorbic acid.
Combined with Bakuchiol, these two compounds offer a synergistic antioxidant effect which supports graceful aging.
