Hey Gorgeous,
When it comes to skincare, many of us were taught to believe that synthetic actives—like retinol or silicones—were the only way to see results. But the truth? Nature has always been the original innovator. The right organic ingredients can deliver powerful, clinically proven results while being gentler on your skin and kinder to the planet.
At YvaMarie New York, our mission is to blend clean skincare, natural botanicals, and science-backed innovation so you never have to choose between results and wellness. Today, we’re spotlighting five organic ingredients that truly work as hard as synthetics—helping you glow naturally, every day.
1. Bakuchiol
What It Does: Smooths fine lines, improves texture, and promotes cell turnover—without irritation.
Why We Use It: Bakuchiol is often called the “plant-based retinol,” but we like to think of it as retinol’s gentle, nurturing cousin. While synthetic retinoids can cause redness, flaking, and sensitivity, Bakuchiol provides anti-aging power that’s safe for even sensitive or maturing skin. It’s one of the hero ingredients in our GothamGlow Anti-Aging Serum, designed to renew, restore, and reveal firmer skin overnight.
2. Squalane
What It Does: Mimics skin’s natural oils, providing lightweight hydration and a smooth, silky finish.
Why We Use It: Naturally derived from olives and sugarcane, Squalane is one of the most versatile hydrators in clean skincare. It replenishes what your skin already produces, which makes it universally compatible—whether your skin is dry, oily, or somewhere in between. You’ll find it in our BotanicGlow Complexion Serum, where it helps lock in hydration without clogging pores.
3. Rice Lipids
What It Does: Strengthens the skin barrier, locks in moisture, and improves overall texture.
Why We Use It: Rooted in generational traditions, Rice Lipids are a nutrient-dense powerhouse rich in essential fatty acids. They strengthen the skin barrier, helping it stay resilient against daily environmental stressors. In our best-seller, GlowSerum Duo, Rice Lipids combine forces with other clean botanicals to work around the clock, locking in hydration while supporting gentle cleansing—leaving your skin nourished, refreshed, and never stripped.
4. Jojoba Oil
What It Does: Balances oil production while delivering lightweight hydration that won’t clog pores.
Why We Use It: Jojoba Oil mimics the skin’s natural sebum, making it a universally compatible moisturizer that calms, nourishes, and protects without heaviness. Its non-comedogenic profile makes it especially effective for combination and oily skin, helping restore balance while keeping skin soft and smooth.
You’ll find Jojoba Oil in our GothamGlow Renewal Cream, where it works alongside Shea Butter, Avocado Oil, and peptides to deeply hydrate, replenish elasticity, and restore radiance overnight—so you wake up to skin that feels balanced, refreshed, and renewed.
5. Rosehip Oil
What It Does: Helps fade dark spots, smooth fine lines, and restore a brighter, even-toned complexion.
Why We Use It: Known as nature’s multivitamin for the skin, Rosehip Oil is loaded with Vitamin C, Vitamin A, and essential fatty acids. It’s ideal for rejuvenating dull or uneven skin, supporting elasticity, and restoring radiance. You’ll experience its benefits in our FifthAveGlow Face & Neck Elixir, which nourishes deeply for timeless beauty.
Nature + Science = Results That Last
These five ingredients prove that organic doesn’t mean less effective—it means smarter, safer, and more aligned with your skin’s natural rhythm. From smoothing fine lines with Bakuchiol to restoring radiance with Rosehip Oil, clean skincare has the power to deliver real results without compromise.
