What’s inside
Ingredients with a purpose
No mystery blends. No unnecessary complexity. A considered list of ingredients, with a clear reason for each one being there.
Rice water
Formulated in-house rather than bought in. A traditional conditioning ingredient, used here to leave skin feeling smooth and refreshed.
Hyaluronic acid
A humectant. Helps hold water at the surface, so skin feels plump and comfortable through the day.
Niacinamide
A well-studied conditioning ingredient, included to support the look of an even tone and a smooth texture.
Orchid extract
An antioxidant-rich botanical, included to help protect the skin’s appearance against everyday environmental stress.
Why we started
One percent, compounded.
Skincare doesn’t need to be complicated. It needs to be understood.
Original 1% was built around a simple idea: meaningful change comes from small, intentional steps practiced consistently. Rather than asking your skin to do everything at once, we focus on five essential areas of care: hydration, lubrication, elasticity, nourishment, and moisture.
Understand what your skin needs. Choose the right step. Use it consistently. Then build from there.
It’s our approach to skincare and to progress itself: 1% better every day.
Our formulas are purposefully designed and made in a certified Canadian facility, with clean ingredients, then presented in Italian glass chosen to make everyday skincare feel considered, functional, and worth keeping within reach.
Before you ask
Questions, answered
They are numbered as five areas of maintenance, not a strict layering order. On a given day, tone after cleansing, use the steps your skin is asking for, and moisturize last. The weekly guide above shows a suggested rhythm.
No. The products do not need to be layered every day or used all at once. Think of them as five areas to address across the week, according to how your skin looks and feels.
Everything is formulated without parabens or harsh chemicals, and the Orchid Lotion is fragrance-free. As with any new product, patch test on your inner arm for 24 hours first.
