AYA Day Elixir
Your Daily Facial Elixir shield for healthy, balanced, and radiant skin.
For all skin, for all people.
Named for the Adinkra symbol of endurance, AYA is your daily shield for resilient, radiant skin.
This potent, lightweight elixir is formulated with a strategic blend of West Africa’s most ancestral botanicals. Rich in antioxidants from Moringa and Baobab, it defends against environmental stressors while rare extracts of firming Kigelia Africana and purifying Touloucouna work to restore harmony and illuminate your complexion.
The fast-absorbing oil sinks in effortlessly, leaving a velvety finish perfect under makeup or worn alone. Every drop is created to awaken softness, balance, and a vital glow for the day ahead.
For all skin, for all people.
Protect, Fortify, and Illuminate
The AYA Face Elixir is engineered by nature to deliver visible, tangible results. It is a functional, results-driven formula for modern life, rooted in ancestral wisdom.
- Daily Environmental Shield: Powered by potent antioxidants from Moringa and Baobab, this elixir fortifies the skin's natural barrier, defending it against urban pollutants and oxidative stress.
- Visibly Firms & Tones: Revered Kigelia Africana extract works to improve skin elasticity and firmness, promoting a naturally lifted and sculpted appearance.
- Deeply Balances & Nourishes: A synergistic blend of Jojoba, Prickly Pear, and Tiger Nut oils delivers lasting, lightweight moisture. It helps balance sebum production, leaving skin supple and nourished without clogging pores.
- Clarifies & Boosts Radiance: Soothing Touloucouna and Loofah seed oils help calm inflammation and reduce the appearance of redness, promoting a clear and luminous complexion.
- Instant-Absorbing Texture: The lightweight elixir absorbs instantly, leaving a smooth, velvet-matte finish with no residue. It creates a perfect, non-greasy canvas for makeup or a natural, radiant glow.
- Ethically Sourced Wisdom: Our 100% vegan, cold-pressed oils are sourced directly from women’s cooperatives in Senegal, honoring the ancestral connection between the land and its people.
Your Morning Ritual of Fortification
Transform your morning routine from a task into a treasured ritual. The AYA Elixir is designed not just to be applied, but to be experienced.
Prepare: Begin with freshly cleansed skin. Take a deep, centering breath to ground yourself in the present moment.
Activate: Dispense 2-3 drops of the golden elixir into your palm. Gently rub your hands together to warm the oil, awakening its botanical essences. Cup your hands over your nose and inhale the grounding, woody aroma of Atlas Cedar and Patchouli.
Anoint: Gently press the elixir onto your face, neck, and décolletage. Use light, upward sweeping motions from the center of your face outwards to stimulate circulation and awaken your skin.
Affirm: As the elixir melts into your skin, set your intention for the day. Feel your skin barrier being sealed and protected. You are ready to face the world with resilience and grace.
Ritual Tip:
Mix one drop with your foundation or day cream for an effortless, sun-kissed finish.
Affirmation:
“I rise with light. My skin remembers the sun.”

The Meaning of AYA
"Aya" is the Adinkra symbol of the fern, from the Akan people of Ghana. It represents endurance, resourcefulness, and defiance—a tribute to the resilient fern that thrives in the most difficult places.
We chose this name for our Day Elixir to imbue your skin with that same resilience. In a world of constant environmental and emotional stressors, the AYA Elixir is your botanical shield, a functional formula that empowers your skin to thrive. This is your daily armor.
More than skincare, this is a ritual of renewal. Inspired by the morning sun rising over the African savannah, each drop reconnects you to the rhythms of nature and ancestral wisdom. It is a daily reminder that beauty is an act of balance—between the Earth and your own essence.
For All Skin, For All People
The AYA Face Elixir is a universally balancing formula meticulously designed for all skin types, genders, and tones. Its intelligent, non-comedogenic composition adapts to your skin's unique needs.
- For Normal to Dry Skin: Delivers profound nourishment and seals in moisture for a supple, dewy glow.
- For Combination to Oily Skin: Helps to balance natural oil production and clarifies pores without stripping the skin's moisture barrier.
- For Sensitive Skin: Calms and soothes with anti-inflammatory botanicals, reducing the appearance of redness and irritation.
- For Mature Skin: Works to improve elasticity and firmness while softening the look of fine lines.
Patch Test: We recommend a patch test before first use. Apply a small amount of the elixir to a discrete area, such as your inner arm or behind the ear. Wait 24 hours to ensure no irritation occurs. If irritation develops, discontinue use.
