Our Ingredient Library

Every ZSO formula is built around a small number of carefully selected actives, sourced with the same care whether they come from the Swiss Alps or from the Ayurvedic tradition. Here is what sits inside your favourites.

Saffron

One of the most prized botanicals in the Ayurvedic tradition, long valued in skincare for its association with radiance and an even-looking complexion. Featured in Goddess Glow Saffron Serum and Pristine Saffron Serum.

Bakuchiol

A plant-derived botanical, drawn from the seeds of Psoralea corylifolia, that has become the botanical of choice for those who prefer a gentler alternative to retinol in a daily ritual. Featured in Day Goddess Crème and our Bakuchiol Serum.

Alpine Rose

Grown at altitude in the Swiss Alps, where it survives cold, wind and intense light. That resilience is the reason it belongs in a night ritual, and the reason it anchors our richest overnight formula. Featured in Night Goddess Rich Balsam.

Argan

Cold-pressed argan oil, sourced as an organic raw material from suppliers who provide the relevant documentation, and known for its rich, cushioning feel on both face and body.

Edelweiss

A rare alpine flower, valued for its naturally antioxidant-rich composition and, for us, for what it says about where this brand comes from.
