Violet Hour
with Rosehip, Bakuchiol & Strawberry Seed
A three-step pro-age ritual in Miron violet glass
The violet hour is the last light of a winter evening, when the snow turns blue and the moon peeks over the evergreens. We named this set for that hour and for the Miron violet glass vessels holding each formula, a glass that shields botanicals from most visible light to help keep them fresh.
Three of our most loved active pro-age formulas, reworked for the season with rosehip, 2% bakuchiol, plant-based hydration and a warm scent of vanilla and sandalwood. Each set arrives in a black gift box and is made in a single run of 40.
| ✦ | Fruit enzymes from creamy papaya, pineapple and strawberry polish skin gently while murumuru butter and beeswax help preserve the skin barrier. |
| ✦ | Tremella mushroom, a plant alternative to hyaluronic acid, draws moisture to the skin for a plumper, more hydrated look. |
| ✦ | Bakuchiol at 2% and a double infusion of rosehips help minimize the look of fine lines and support a firmer, more even-looking complexion. |
Inside the Set
Step One · Cleanse · 50 ml
Melina Enzymatic Balm to Milk Cleanser
Melina now begins as a soft balm of argan oil, murumuru butter and beeswax. Massaged over dry skin, it melts through makeup and the day, then turns to a light milk with water and rinses clean. Creamy papaya, pineapple and strawberry enzymes offer gentle exfoliation alongside an infusion of hibiscus and helichrysum and extracts of rosehip and sea buckthorn. A light emulsifier lets the balm rinse away as a milk, and vanilla, jasmine and sandalwood give it a warm, quiet scent.
Step Two · Hydrate · 100 ml
Hyalos Santal Elixir
Our hyaluronic elixir, reworked for winter. We replaced the lavender with artisan-distilled rose, sandalwood and rosehip hydrosols and added a touch of vanilla absolute. Tremella mushroom extract, a plant alternative to hyaluronic acid, holds water on the skin alongside marshmallow root, elderflower and hibiscus. Mist after cleansing and before your serum so the oils have moisture to seal in.
Step Three · Serum · 30 ml
Honest Elixir II
Our best-selling pro-age serum, enhanced for this edition. The rosehips are now double infused with marshmallow root, horsetail, rose, helichrysum and hibiscus in olive squalane, and bakuchiol rises to 2%. Cacay oil, with its naturally occurring retinol, works alongside the bakuchiol, and a blend of antioxidant-rich berry seed oils and CO2 extracts rounds out the formula.

The Botanicals Within
Three oils carry this set. ROSEHIP CO2 EXTRACT appears in both Melina and Honest Elixir II, bringing carotenoids and essential fatty acids that help skin look smoother and more even in tone. BAKUCHIOL, drawn from the seeds of the babchi plant, is a gentle plant alternative to retinol that helps minimize the look of fine lines and is suited to daily use. STRAWBERRY SEED OIL, found in the cleanser and the serum, is light and rich in antioxidants that support skin's resilience to environmental stressors.
|
Rosehip CO2 Organic |
Bakuchiol 2% |
Strawberry Seed Organic |
Three whole botanicals sourced from our favorite small farms run through all three formulas. ROSEHIPS are double infused in Honest Elixir II and distilled into the rosehip hydrosol in Hyalos Santal, offering vitamin C and antioxidants for a brighter-looking complexion. MARSHMALLOW ROOT, slippery and soothing, softens and comforts skin in both the serum and the mist. HIBISCUS FLOWER, rich in natural fruit acids and mucilage, appears in all three formulas to help skin look smoother and more supple.

A Limited Run of 40
The Violet Hour Trio is made once, in a single batch of 40 sets, and sold only as a set in its black gift box. Because it is a limited edition, discount codes and gift cards cannot be applied. Sets ship from December 2 until we close for the holidays on December 19, or until all 40 are gone.
Notes from the Founder
Every December we seek products and ingredients that can keep up with what the elements take from our skin. We kept the three effective formulas you already trust and elevated each one with a richer pro-age ingredient and a warmer scent profile.
