The world of skincare is crowded with unrealistic claims, questionable formulations, and ingredient lists that read like CVS receipts instead of science. At Petal & Root, we take a different route. Every product is built around real botanicals, clinically supported actives, and formulas designed to work with your skin.
Our upcoming Bloom Moisturizing Facial Cream and Nectar Bio-Retinol Undereye Serum expand our natural skincare line with two high performing essentials that fit seamlessly into our full routine: the Green Tea, Rose, & Aloe pH Balancing Toner, Morning Radiance Facial Elixir, and Evening Renewal Facial Elixir. This routine builds toward barrier strength, moisture balance, and long term skin vitality without harsh synthetics.
Below is your inside look at what makes Bloom and Nectar stand out.
Bloom Moisturizing Facial Cream: Botanical Repair Meets Modern Skin Science
Bloom is built for daily use, morning or night, and focuses on barrier reinforcement, deep hydration, and antioxidant protection. The formulation is intentionally rich in plant based emollients and humectants, along with verified skin supportive extracts.
Key functions and evidence backed benefits include:
• Aloe Vera and Rose Hydrosol calm visible redness, supply lightweight hydration, and support water retention through polysaccharides that bind moisture to the skin.
• Hyaluronic Acid draws water into the upper layers of the skin for increased suppleness and improved texture. Studies consistently demonstrate its ability to support dehydration prone and mature skin.
• Botanically infused oils like jojoba, calendula, chamomile, and hibiscus provide antioxidants, mild soothing effects, and a non-occlusive lipid profile that mimics the skin’s natural sebum.
• Shea Butter and Moringa Oil deliver essential fatty acids that improve barrier resilience,
especially for dry or compromised skin.
• Vitamin E protects fragile lipids from oxidative stress.
• Frankincense and Vanilla add sensory richness without overpowering the formula or irritating the skin.
Bloom’s texture is intentionally plush but fast absorbing. It layers smoothly over serums without pilling and without a heavy film. In the context of the Petal & Root lineup, Bloom serves as the moisture sealing step. Its purpose is to lock in hydration, soften environmental impact, and reinforce the skin’s natural defenses.
Nectar Bio-Retinol Undereye Serum: Gentle Renewal for Delicate Skin
The undereye area is where most people overdo actives, leading to irritation, dryness, and uneven texture. Nectar avoids the typical pitfalls of retinol by using plant derived bio- retinol alternatives, supporting extracts, and a lipid base that cushions the skin.
Key functions and proven advantages include:
• Bakuchiol is the star bio-retinol. Studies show it can improve firmness, smooth texture, and support even tone without the irritation associated with synthetic retinol.
• Green Tea Extract provides antioxidant catechins, particularly EGCG, which have
documented benefits in reducing oxidative stress and supporting a healthier appearing skin
surface.
• Licorice Root contains glabridin, a compound studied for its brightening support and ability to improve the look of discoloration.
• Colloidal Oats and Aloe Vera soothe and buffer the active ingredients, ideal for sensitive
undereyes.
• Jojoba, Moringa, and Vitamin E create a nutrient dense lipid environment that supports
elasticity and smoothness.
Nectar is designed for slow and steady renewal. It does not force the skin to turn over too rapidly, and it partners well with both Morning Radiance and Evening Renewal.
How Bloom and Nectar Fit into the Complete Petal & Root Ritual
Your full facial routine should follow a logical sequence that respects ingredient function and skin physiology.
Morning Ritual
1. Gentle Cleanser
4. Morning Radiance Facial Elixir for antioxidant and hydration support
6. Mineral SPF to protect against UV related aging & increased risk of skin cancer
Sunscreen is non-negotiable for preventing premature aging, damage, and skin cancer. Any daytime routine that omits SPF immediately undermines the benefits of antioxidants, botanical extracts, and barrier strengthening ingredients!
Evening Ritual
1. Gentle Cleanser
Bloom seals in hydration overnight, while Nectar works at a controlled intensity to support
smoother, brighter looking undereyes.
A Ritual Rooted in Intention and Integrity
Bloom Facial Moisturizing Cream and Nectar Bio Retinol Undereye Serum are designed to reflect the heart of Petal & Root: grounded botanicals, proven and gentle actives, and elevated textures that support real skin function. No shortcuts, no filler trends, and no overblown claims. Just formulas crafted for long term skin health and an experience that feels earthy, refined, and quietly luxurious.
When a formula aligns with the skin’s natural rhythm, the result is indulgent harmony. Bloom and Nectar capture that balance, delivering sophistication with intention. Feeling lost in an endless sea of skincare products, actives, & elixirs? Let nature take the lead.
Stay Radiant,
