Your Senses Will Thank You: The Hero Discovery Kit
6th January 2026 5 minutes
Three products. One transformative ritual. And a rather brilliant understanding of how your brain actually works.
Here's what nobody tells you about skincare: the real magic happens not on your face, but in your limbic system—that ancient part of your brain that governs emotion, memory, and whether you'll actually sleep tonight or spend three hours doom-scrolling.
The Hero Discovery Kit gets this. These aren't just our most-loved, award-winning formulas (though they are). They're a masterclass in olfactory intelligence, working with your body's natural rhythm to calm, clarify, and protect—differently at different times of day.
NIGHT: The Unwinding
Deep Reveal Cleansing Balm & Mask
The evening melt. As this balm dissolves your day, ROMAN CHAMOMILE, NEROLI, and LAVENDER get to work on your nervous system, triggering GABA release—your brain's off-switch. YLANG YLANG and BENZOIN drop you deeper into that parasympathetic "rest and digest" state, while CLARY SAGE actively lowers cortisol.
It's not just removing makeup. It's removing the day itself.
Sleep Tight Face Balm
Then this. FRANKINCENSE slows your breathing. LAVENDER increases slow-wave sleep—the phase during which actual cellular repair occurs. VALERIAN ROOT is nature's sedative (the Victorians knew). LABDANUM wraps you in that primal sense of safety your nervous system craves.
While you sleep, ROSEHIP, EVENING PRIMROSE, BORAGE, and SEA BUCKTHORN get on with the real work—cell regeneration triples at night, and these oils are essentially rocket fuel for the process.
You'll wake up looking like you've had nine hours. Even if you've had six.
DAY: The Lift
Radiance Boost Face Mist
The morning shift. NEROLI and ROSE OTTO elevate immediately, releasing serotonin and dopamine for focus and positive mood. It's the instant lift that carries you through whatever your day holds.
Throughout the day, HYALURONIC ACID and COPPER PEPTIDES keep you hydrated and glowing, while HIBISCUS and BILBERRY fight off environmental damage.
Consider it your nervous system's reset button, available whenever you need it.
The Winter Plot Twist
Here's where it gets clever. As temperatures drop, Sleep Tight moonlights as your daytime protector.
Applied in daylight, those essential oils shift function entirely. FRANKINCENSE grounds rather than sedates. LAVENDER manages cortisol spikes without making you drowsy. ROSE GERANIUM stabilises mood through those dark January mornings.
Physically, SHEA BUTTER, ARGAN, and SEA BUCKTHORN become your barrier against central heating and bitter winds—the kind of protection synthetic products simply can't offer. PROPOLIS fights inflammation. CALENDULA soothes irritation.
Same balm. Different time. Different benefit. Rather brilliant, actually.
Why This Actually Works
Your olfactory nerve is the only cranial nerve directly exposed to the outside world. Scent molecules hit your limbic system in seconds, bypassing rational thought entirely. (This is why a whiff of something can transport you to 1997 immediately.)
But here's the thing: your body doesn't process LAVENDER the same way at 7 AM as it does at 11 PM. Your circadian rhythm—that master clock governing everything from body temperature to hormone release—changes how your brain interprets these oils.
Evening: they signal repair, restoration, sleep. Morning: they signal protection, balance, clarity.
The Hero Discovery Kit works with this intelligence, not against it.
The Truth
This is skincare that understands you're not just a face. You're a nervous system, a circadian rhythm, a person moving through seasons and stress and screens.
Three formulas. Multiple benefits. One rather transformative ritual that actually reconnects you with both nature and yourself.
Your skin will glow. Your mind will quiet. Your senses will come alive.
And honestly? That's rather the point.
