What it does
Not a toner. Lighter than an oil.
Healthy skin needs more than water. It needs the right balance of hydration and nourishment.
Milk + Tansy holds two phases that work together — one replenishing moisture, one delivering lightweight botanical lipids that support the barrier. A quick shake turns them into a silky essence that absorbs beautifully and never feels greasy.
It is the step between hydration and moisture: the one that restores balance before everything else goes on.
What you’ll notice
- Skin feels instantly hydrated and comfortable
- Less visible redness
- Lightweight nourishment without heaviness
- Better absorption of the rest of your routine
- A more resilient-looking complexion

The formula
Water on one side, lipids on the other.
Creating a bi-phase essence took a lot of trial and error. The point of the two phases is that fresh water-based hydration and lightweight oils can sit in one bottle and go on in one step — without emulsifying them into something heavier.
Blue Tansy Oil
Rich in aromatic plant compounds including chamazulene, which is where the colour comes from. Helps comfort the look of stressed, visibly reactive skin.
Watermelon + Apple + Lentil Extracts
A hydrating complex that supports moisture retention and a soft, supple feel.
Jojoba Oil
A skin-identical botanical lipid that reinforces the moisture barrier and delivers lightweight nourishment without clogging pores.
Baobab + Melon Seed Oils
Essential fatty acids that feed the barrier while keeping the finish weightless.
Aloe Vera
Soothing hydration and skin comfort — the base the whole water phase is built on.

Shaking blends the water and oil phases so you get the right balance of hydration and nourishment in every application. Skip it and you get one or the other.
Founder note
A note from Tami
“We went into the lab wanting more than an effective product — we wanted an unforgettable visual and sensorial experience.
I fell in love with blue tansy for its colour, its scent, and how comforting it can feel on stressed skin. The two phases let us combine fresh water-based hydration with lightweight oils, and I love that little moment when you shake it and everything transforms into this silky blue milk.”

Questions
Good to know
What is a bi-phase essence?
It combines water-based hydration with lightweight botanical oils in one formula. Shaken together, the two phases become a silky essence that delivers moisture and nourishment in a single step.
Is it a toner?
No. It goes on after cleansing, but it does more than a toner — replenishing hydration, delivering barrier-supporting lipids and preparing skin for the rest of the routine.
Is it a facial oil?
Not quite. The botanical oils are balanced by a water phase, so it absorbs quickly and leaves no greasy finish.
Do I have to shake it?
Yes. Shaking blends the two phases so every application carries the right balance of hydration and nourishment.
Can I use it every day?
Yes. It was made for daily morning and evening use, and is especially useful whenever skin feels dehydrated, sensitive or out of balance.
Can I use it before active ingredients?
Yes. It makes a good buffer — replenishing hydration and supporting the barrier before stronger treatment products go on.
Can I use it after professional treatments?
Yes. It is one of our favourite recovery steps after exfoliation and in-clinic treatments.
Will it feel oily?
No. Once shaken it absorbs quickly, leaving a hydrated, silky finish rather than a greasy one.
