Why We Made a Cream-Serum Hybrid

Why We Made a Cream-Serum Hybrid

Vitamin C is one of the most researched, clinically validated ingredients in skincare—but not all Vitamin C is created equal. And not all routines need to include a separate serum, moisturizer, and antioxidant step to deliver visible results.

 

We created The Preservationist to challenge the way people think about skincare steps—and to redefine what a well-formulated Vitamin C product should be.

Let’s Start with the Confusion Around Vitamin C

Most Vitamin C serums on the market rely on L-Ascorbic Acid—a form that’s notoriously unstable, often oxidizes before you’ve even opened the bottle, and can be irritating for sensitive or compromised skin.

 

We chose a different path.


The Preservationist is powered by two stabilized, clinically backed forms of Vitamin C:

  • BV-OSC (Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate): an oil-soluble form of Vitamin C known for its ability to brighten skin, even tone, and support collagen with minimal irritation.

  • AA2G (Ascorbyl Glucoside): a water-soluble derivative that activates on the skin for long-lasting antioxidant protection.

Together, they deliver powerful brightening and defense—without the sting, the oxidation, or the short shelf life.

 

Why a Cream-Serum Hybrid? Because Layering Isn't Always Ideal

In summer heat or humid climates, the last thing your skin wants is a heavy routine. Layering multiple products can lead to congestion, irritation, or pilling—especially when you’re rushing through your mornings.

The Preservationist was designed to simplify your steps without compromising results.
It has the potency of a serum and the cushion of a moisturizer, eliminating the need for two separate products.

Less friction, fewer layers, smarter skincare.

 

Made for Real Skin. Built for Real Life.

Ideal for Sensitive Skin: Free of fragrance, essential oils, and harsh actives.

Barrier-Loving: Powered by peptides and plant-derived exosomes to hydrate, plump, and protect.

Every texture, every ingredient, every ratio was chosen with intention.

Skin Minimalism, Made Intelligent

We didn’t make The Preservationist to be trendy. We made it to be used daily, worn under SPF, and relied on by anyone who wants radiant skin without the guesswork.

It’s one product—but it does more than most routines.
