Active Botanical Serum
Description
Active Botanical Serum is a face oil, formulated with 22 of the world’s most nutrient-rich botanicals for nourishing and restorative moisture.

This potent concentration delivers 60+ restorative nutrients including restorative phytoceramides and phytonutrients, balancing minerals, brightening vitamins, free-radical fighting antioxidants, moisturizing fatty acids, and nourishing omegas 3,6,7 and 9 to revitalize, soothe, and support a healthy radiance.

How to use

NOTE:
If you are using retinoids, apply them after the serum/oil.
The Active Botanical Serum is a serum-oil, meaning that it can be used instead of your face cream, as the moisturizing step.
It has the consistency of a well absorbing oil, with the potency of a serum.
Unlike conventional oils, Vintner’s Daughter’s recommendation is to use the Active Botanical Serum before your face cream(including water-based face creams), just like a serum, to be able to fully benefit from all its healing properties and for better absorption into the skin.

Meet the founder: April Gargiulo
Vintner's Daughter was born as a result of April Gargiulo's experience and high standards, inspired by the world of great winemakers.
Her family was highly focused on creating some of the greatest wines in the world.
Today, that same philosophy guides Vintner’s Daughter’s values.
When her daughter Kate was born, April began reading labels, identifying risky and unnecessary ingredients, leaving her in awe for something better, different, and exquisite.
Therefore, there are no quick cuts when it comes to their formulation, and this is part of their conceptual core that led into creating this brand.
The formulation process is lengthy and it’s referred to as "the speed of quality".
Vintner's Daughter uses whole plants, and the same rigorous sourcing and formulation standards as the leading winemakers, which is why Active Treatment Essence and Active Botanical Serum have set new performance, quality, and safety milestones.
This level of excellence requires dedication to the craft, as well as a lot of time and resources.
There are no shortcuts when developing the greatest of anything.
The Clean Promise.
Their sustainable approach envelops “A Fewer Philosophy” meaning their skincare concept is based on providing multi-beneficial performance and the notion that if a single product can provide many advantages, fewer goods are needed, fewer are manufactured, and fewer natural resources are used.
Responsible Sourcing meaning their products come from ethical growers, many of whom have been practicing sustainable, organic farming for decades;
Better Packaging meaning their sustainable packaging initiatives include boxes manufactured from 80 percent post-consumer recycled materials or FSC certified board, printing with eco-friendly ink, and utilizing recyclable glass bottles exclusively;
Testing Without Harm means the globally acclaimed Leaping Bunny Program has verified them as cruelty-free;
Supporting Earth Advocacy means they contribute 2% of every bottle sold to charity and nonprofit organizations, such as the Sierra Club and The Conservation Fund.
They feel it is their responsibility to reciprocate the favor because gratitude entails appreciating everything that has been provided and gladly returning the favor.
