A perfect match for sluggish skin: the Moon Boost Serum by Graydon Skincare is finally here! Beauty Heroes is excited to showcase a new launch from this Canadian, results-oriented skincare brand. Founded by vegan chef and yoga instructor, Graydon Moffat, this skincare line began when she was in Southern California, cooking holistically with super foods to promote vibrancy and longevity from the outside in.
There was so much lush plant life there, that Graydon began to dabble in crafting beauty and skincare products for herself which she would then share with her friends and fellow practitioners of yoga. She packed these products with the same nourishing superfoods that were in her recipes, delivering the body ingredients our skin loves and needs in order to stay healthy. As she saw an interest in her products grow, she began improving the scale and efficiency of how she created these products, and eventually established her own clean beauty brand, Graydon Skincare.
It took over three years to perfect Moon Boost Serum, as Graydon has been determined to only launch a new product that brings a new set of talents to her extensive collection. We’re excited to tell you all about it!
What Is the Moon Boost Serum?
In short, the Moon Boost Serum is a oil-based multi-vitamin skincare serum that is made with nutrient-rich superfoods in a highly sophisticated formulation. It is a unisex product that is appropriate for most skin types, even sensitive skin. It has a very light, citrus and melon scent, a combination of the botanicals in the formula, and is free of any natural or synthetic fragrance. Moon Boost is meant to be your solution to dull, dehydrated skin. Each of the vibrant botanical ingredients in its formulation come together to create a potent plant-powered serum that feeds your skin much of what it needs to function optimally and appear its healthiest.
Lightweight meadowfoam seed oil establishes the base of this serum and is supported by other nourishing plant-based ingredients like carrot seed oil, prickly pear seed oil, safflower oil, blueberry seed oil, and many other vibrant botanical oils and extracts. It contains vitamins A, B, C, D, E, F, and K for a complete spectrum of bioavailable skin nutrition. Each of these seven vitamins offers up its own benefits including hydration, collagen production, cell renewal, anti-inflammation, elasticity, and more. It is a luxurious and well-balanced formulation that creates a silky smooth finish on the skin and applies easily. It feels like a treat to apply this product to your skin every day or night.
What Are the Featured Benefits?
This serum is a potent blend of oils and extracts that are excellent natural sources of many vitamins, antioxidants, and omega fatty acids. Each ingredient was thoughtfully selected for this formulation in order to utilize its natural vitamin-rich benefits to the skin. Featuring vitamins A through K, this serum provides a very well-balanced and well-rounded source of nutrition to your skin.
Vitamin A
Vitamin A and its derivatives such as retinoids, have been extensively studied for decades now because of their powerful impact on the skin. Products rich in vitamin A support cell regeneration, which is directly linked to fighting the signs of aging such as fine lines, wrinkles, and loss of elasticity or fullness in the skin. The Moon Boost Serum includes botanical sources of vitamin A such as carrot seed, raspberry seed, and apricot seed oils to support the youthful appearance of your skin.
Vitamin B
There are several types of vitamin B, but the Moon Boost specifically contains vitamin B5, also known as pantothenic acid. It is a natural humectant and emollient, meaning it helps to attract and retain moisture to the skin. Moon Boost gets its vitamin B from superfood shiitake mushrooms.
Vitamin C
Much like vitamin A, vitamin C is another incredibly popular ingredient used in skincare for its rejuvenating properties. Vitamin C is a rich antioxidant that protects skin from environmental stressors, while also evening out and brightening the complexion. It can be used to reduce hyperpigmentation (dark spots and uneven skin tone) while leaving your skin radiant. A concentrated form of isolated vitamin C is used in this serum, along with ingredients rich in Vitamin C like jojoba oil and blueberry seed oil.
Vitamin D
People normally associate vitamin D with a little sunshine on the skin, but it can also be obtained through several plant-based ingredients like pumpkin seed oil, found in the Moon Boost. It offers anti-inflammatory properties, modest protection from UVB rays, and support for the skin’s natural barrier.
Vitamin E
Vitamin E seems ubiquitous in our personal care products since it has proven itself to be highly beneficial in different types of products. It strengthens the skin barrier, which protects against environmental pollution, and provides antioxidants that help keep the skin healthy and youthful looking. You can find it in high concentrations in blueberry seed oil, safflower oil, goji berries, and meadowfoam seed oil.
Vitamin F
Compared to some of the other powerful vitamins we’ve mentioned so far, vitamin F is in a pretty unique position. It is not actually a vitamin, but the name given to the essential fatty acids, omegas 3 and 6 (alpha-linoleic acid and linoleic acid respectively). These fatty acids are harder to come by and excellent for moisture retention, skin elasticity, and texture. They also target fine lines and wrinkles, while boosting collagen production for plump, youthful-looking skin. Many even enjoy this multifaceted ingredient for its acne-fighting benefits as well!
This formula contains linoleic acid from cold-pressed safflower and pumpkin seed oils, both of which are high in vitamin F.
Vitamin K
Last but not least, we have vitamin K, best known for its healing properties and role in blood circulation. It can be restorative to the skin, forming collagen fibers and blood vessels which help with anti-aging. You can find it in blueberry oil and cantaloupe extract, both of which are featured in the Moon Boost Serum.
How Do I Layer It In My Routine?
Now that you know more about the skin care benefits of the Graydon Skincare Moon Boost Serum, you might want to know more about how it can fit into your skincare routine. We recommend layering a few drops of your face serum morning and evening after your hydration step. After cleansing skin with a product like Graydon Aloe Milk Cleanser, toning and/or misting with a hydrating product like Graydon Face Food Mineral Mist, you would then apply a couple of drops to your face and press into the skin. We always recommend adding a few more drops to the neck and decollete area, treating it just as well as the skin on your face. Follow with a moisturizer like Graydon Berry Rich Cream or Graydon Face Glow.
This multi-vitamin serum is a great addition to your daily routine as it imparts vitamins and essential fatty acids into the skin to keep it healthy with a strong natural barrier against environmental stressors.
While we offer a wide range of face serums at Beauty Heroes, we enjoy launching a new product that has been carefully formulated to deliver results. Feel free to take a closer look at this luxurious serum along with other products from the line like the complementary water-based nighttime Full Moon Serum from Graydon Skincare, which helps with anti-aging.
