That's good to know. 

As I write this, the Rejuvenating Serum web page is essentially blank, so could you please tell us a bit more about it?  I see that the Hydrating Gel is a powerful humectant, and the ingredients are listed.  What are the ingredients in the Rejuvenating Serum, what does it do, and how does it supplement or complement the Hydrating Gel?

Thank you Mohammad.

Hi HighSpeed Thank you for asking.

I have offered the serum for over a year now; it has done really well, thank you to all the loyal customers! This is the 2nd iteration of the serum. With this revision, I wanted to focus on a lighter texture and quicker absorption.

This type of serum is basically a concentrate of ingredients one finds in blams. Some moisturizing balms contain vegetable oils, but with a lot of stabilizers/emulsifiers (to mix the oil and water), texture enhancers, ingredients suspension, water aloe, witch hazel, etc...The serum is just made of carrier oils and extracts with no water, hence no preservatives are necessary.

Here are the ingredients:
Caprylic/Capric Triglycerides, Olive Squalane, Jojoba Oil, Moringa Oil, Kukui Nut Oil, Meadowfoam Oil, Broccoli Seed Oil, Safflower Oil, Abyssinian Oil, High Oleic Safflower Oil, Camelina Oil, Argan Oil, Rice Bran Oil, Avocado Oil, Grapeseed Oil, Pumpkin Seed Oil, Blackberry Seed Oil, Calendula Extract, Radish Seed Extract, Pomegranate Seed Extract, Bisabolol, Tocopherols.

It's a flexible product. I have gotten to know, some people mix 1-2 drops, or more, depending on the skin type, with other post-shave products. It definitely can be used at other times of the day/night. It's unisex too.

Thanks Mohammad.

Thanks for asking!

I suggest applying the Hydrating gel prior to other products. I have had great results using it with a toner. Especially the GD toner coming in April Smile

Here is some info on the ingredients.

Sodium PCA
It is a naturally occurring humectant found in human skin. It has high water-absorbing properties, with the ability to absorb moisture from the air. It can also bind moisture to cells, and hold several times its weight in water.

Hyaluronic Acid
Hyaluronic acid is a sugar found naturally in our skin that holds water and helps keep it hydrated and plump. It holds up to hundreds of times its weight in water. There are studies that it has benefits beyond just a humectant. There have been studies that show it has great benefits to wound healing

N-Acetyl Glucosamine
  • Increases exfoliation and can increase collagen production.
  • Increases hyaluronic acid production in the skin
  • Reduces the appearance of wrinkles
  • Reduces trans-epidermal water loss
  • Improves barrier function
Saccharide Isomerate
Good water-binding capabilities and emollient for skin, It has an extended effect, doesn’t wash easily.

Thank you very much, Mo! I'll certainly grab one on Wednesday!

(sorry if  I talk about a post-shave product in the soaps & creams section)
I've been using GD serum for about two months, mixing two drops with my aftershave balm (as per Mohammad's suggestion), both as an aftershave and as a night moisturizer. I'm extremely pleased with the results on my skin!

The release is on Friday, March 20, 11:00AM-PDT. Please note the shipping policy. I will do my best to get the soaps out as soon as the following Friday.



Another release is in the works which will be in about 12 to 15 days. It’s the updated Mallard formula, the updated Rejuvenating Serum and the first release of the phenomenal Hydrating Gel.

from Mo's newsletter today

I got three today (1 Nai & 2 Kairos). Have not tried Nai before.
But I pretty like the performance of Kairos.
