Why Skin Mimics Matter

“Nature’s version of healthy skin lipids.”

🌿Skin Memory

Let's start by saying that skin is remarkably intelligent!  It remembers healthy lipid patterns and can return to them when given the right ingredients. When ingredients resemble the lipids and compounds your skin already creates, they're more easily accepted and utilized!

When You Apply Optimist

  • spreads easily across the skin

  • blends with your natural pore oils

  • softens hardened sebum

  • signals enough oil is present

  • replenishes skin-familiar lipids

  • reinforces the barrier

  • calms skin

This is why our Tomboys notice a BIG difference when they start using the right facial oil.

💡The Spark Plug

Optimist also contains a forest ingredient we call the "spark plug" — a rare lipid naturally found in healthy skin that helps restore the lipid profile your skin remembers from its younger days.

💡Feedback Signal 

Optimist spreads in a very thin, breathable layer over skin.  This can signal to skin that enough oil is present or that you need more.  Sebum regulation isn't a drug effect---but more of a feedback signal within the skin's lipid environment.

💡No Unnecessary Ingredients

Instead of overwhelming the skin with unnecessary ingredients, we formulate with biological compatibility in mind.
