Luminous yet Gentle

Kindred Wells and Jennifer Black Francis's brainchild, Kindred Black, is redefining luxury beauty with a responsible approach, integrating sustainability, art, and fashion. At the heart of this brand is conscious consumption and environmental responsibility. Moon Dew is one of its more outstanding offerings, which encapsulates this philosophy in stunning form, delivering brilliant, eco-friendly radiance.

Co-founded by Alice Kindred Wells and Jennifer Black Francis, Kindred Black adopts the "slow beauty" ethos and encourages sustainable, mindful approaches in the beauty sphere. Guided by the ethos of "love for our mother," the brand challenges the fast-paced, consumerist culture by fostering conscious consumption and environmental responsibility. Their philosophy aims to create a healthier ecosystem for the planet, industry, and consumers.

Blending sustainability with art and fashion, Kindred Black has introduced a plastic-free refill program, offering aluminum refills for 75% of its products, with plans for full expansion. This also marks a stride for the company in the sense that it continuously pursues a sustainable environment.

The formula is enriched with Japanese white camellia seed oil, which moisturizes, firms, and protects the skin while restoring and balancing the complexion.

Moon Dew is a light, silky face oil that instantly enhances the complexion with an immediate radiant glow. It's one skincare plus makeup product that can be applied on the face and the body to provide one full-stamping shine wherever it is applied. Each bottle is a hand-crafted, glass-blowed masterpiece, much like a work of art itself, blown by a precision glass artist in Illinois, sealed with traditional cork and wax. It has the fragrance of luxury and relaxation, which creates the sensation of walking into a spa.

However, though its formula is light, the silky texture of Moon Dew may leave an oily residue on the skin, thereby it is not recommended for oily or combination skin types.

Although the product gives an immediate luminous glow, the radiance lasts only for a few hours and has to be reapplied for a lasting glow, which may be inconvenient for some users. Formulated with plant-derived squalane, a mild oil suitable for all skin types, Moon Dew mimics the body’s natural oils, which decline with age.

It's enriched with Japanese white camellia seed oil, which is known for its moisturizing, firming, and protective properties that help return the complexion to balance. Its key ingredient, cloudberry seed oil, rich in vitamins and fatty acids, immediately boosts the luminosity of the skin, stimulates collagen production, and seals and retains moisture below the surface.
