AYA Day Elixir
Your Daily Facial Elixir shield for healthy, balanced, and radiant skin.
For all skin, for all people.
Named for the Adinkra, the Akran people's symbol of endurance, AYA is your daily shield for resilient, radiant skin. In Arabic, Ayas are benevolent angels. In Japanese, it connects to beauty, and nature; in Hebrew, to freedom.
AYA Day Elixir is a potent, lightweight serum that delivers real results. Formulated with Moringa and Baobab antioxidants, it shields your skin from environmental damage while Kigelia Africana and Touloucouna extracts enhance firmness and brightness. Prickly Pear is added for hydration without clogging pores.
The fast-absorbing formula leaves a clean, velvety finish—perfect under makeup or alone. Built on West African botanical wisdom, it strengthens your skin's resilience and restores the balance and glow you need to face the day with confidence.
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
Enhance your morning routine by turning it into a valued tradition. The AYA Elixir is created for interaction, not just application.
Get Ready: Kick off with freshly cleansed skin. Take a deep breath to ground yourself in the current moment.
Activate:Dispense 2-3 drops of the golden elixir into your hand. Rub gently to warm the oil, activating its botanical essences. Cover your nose with your hands and breathe in the earthy, woody scent of Atlas Cedar and Patchouli.
Anoint: Gently press the elixir onto your face, neck, and décolletage. Utilize gentle, upward sweeping actions from the center of your face outwards to enhance circulation and revive your skin.
Affirm: Watch as the elixir transforms your skin, while you mentally prep for the day. Sense the barrier it forms, empowering you to step out into the world with strength and elegance!
Ritual Tip:
Incorporate a drop into your foundation or day cream for a natural, sun-kissed outcome.
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.
