Often referred to as a natural hydroquinone alternative, licorice root is derived from the glycyrrhiza glabra plant.
Licorice root extract is a powerful ingredient that contains over 300 different active compounds including liquiritin and licochalcone that help fade and prevent hyperpigmentation, while improving overall skin tone and clarity.
It also contains flavonoids and glycyrrhizin that help reduce redness and play a role in fighting free radicals.
ORGANIC
WILLOW BARK
Willow bark from the white willow tree is a natural source of salicin, and our extract contains a 0.8% concentration of salicylic acid.
Willow bark clarifies the skin by eliminating acne-causing bacteria, and helps to calm irritated skin, reduce redness, and remove excess oil.
It also boasts high concentrations of tannins, flavonoids, polyphenols, and other powerful antioxidants that evens skin tone and texture, reduces the appearance of pores and blemishes, and provides gentle exfoliation to slough off dead skin and clear out congested pores to reveal a more radiant, clear complexion.
ECOCERT
SQUALANE
STUNN's ECOCERT squalane is derived through the fermentation of Bonsucro-certified renewable sugarcane.
It is a hydrating dynamo, effectively moisturizing skin and replenishing skin’s own squalene. It has also been shown to enhance skin’s lipid barrier while preventing TEWL by 18%.
Our squalane is a powerful skin rejuvenating ingredient and has been clinically proven to increase skin firmness, creating more plump and supple skin. Studies have also shown squalane effectively reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Your skin microbiome, also referred to as skin microbiota or skin flora, is an ecosystem of bacteria on the skin’s surface. It’s made up of trillions of microbiota which have a symbiotic relationship with the skin barrier.
When both your microbiome and your barrier are healthy they work together to maintain your skin’s pH delicate balance, protect against moisture loss, safeguard against environmental damage, and play a role in preventing premature aging.
However these critical functions can become compromised when there’s an excess of foreign bacteria invading the good bacteria, or your barrier is continuously stripped from harsh skincare products and environmental factors.
The optimal way to protect your skin microbiome is to choose skincare products that work with your microbiome, rather than against it, but gently cleansing the skin without stripping your barrier or throwing off your pH.
The skin barrier, also known as the “moisture barrier” or “acid mantle,” is the outermost layer of your epidermis. The skin barrier’s primary function is to keep the ‘good stuff’ such as moisture in, and the ‘bad stuff’ as free radicals out.
A healthy barrier protects the body from toxins such as pollution, chemicals, and UV rays, and maintains moisture by preventing transepidermal water loss.
An unhealthy barrier is unable to perform either of those functions and leaves your skin inflamed, dehydrated, and vulnerable to free radical damage, which can result in weakened skin cells, collagen degradation, deepening lines and wrinkles, hyperpigmentation and extremely dry skin.
The key to protecting your barrier and maintaining its health is selecting a gentle and effective oil cleanser to thoroughly cleanse your skin of dirt, makeup, pollution, and other foreign bacteria, while protecting the natural ceramides and oils that coat the skin’s barrier, without stripping or disrupting your skin’s microbiome.
