The skincare world can be loud.
Trendy ingredients cycle in and out, promises are exaggerated, and “miracle serums” rarely explain how or why they work. Halo was formulated to sit outside that noise — grounded in skin physiology, barrier support, and ingredient compatibility.
This is a barrier-supportive, skin-balancing serum, designed for skin that feels reactive, breakout-prone, dehydrated, or uneven.
The Role of a Barrier-Supportive Serum
When the skin barrier is compromised — through over-exfoliation, active overuse, environmental exposure, or stress — skin may present as:
-
reactive or sensitive
-
congested or breakout-prone
-
uneven in tone
-
dehydrated yet oily
Barrier-supportive serums work by reinforcing hydration, lipid balance, and skin tolerance — rather than pushing correction.
Halo is designed to function within this framework.
Formulation Philosophy
Halo is built around niacinamide, ceramides, humectants, and calming botanicals — ingredients the skin already recognises and uses.
Each component was selected to:
-
support barrier function
-
improve hydration retention
-
reduce the appearance of redness and uneven tone
-
help skin behave more predictably over time
There are no exfoliating acids or aggressive actives in this formula.
Ingredient Breakdown & Functional Role
Water & Glycerin
The hydration foundation. Water acts as the solvent and delivery system, while glycerin draws water into the upper layers of the skin and supports hydration retention.
Alcohol
Used at a controlled level to support ingredient solubility and sensory feel. When balanced with humectants and emollients, it contributes to formula performance without excessive dryness.
Niacinamide (Vitamin B3)
A multifunctional active with extensive research supporting its cosmetic benefits. Niacinamide helps:
-
improve the appearance of uneven tone
-
reduce visible redness
-
support barrier function
-
regulate the look of excess oil
-
refine the appearance of pores
This is the core functional ingredient in Halo.
Camellia Sinensis (Green Tea) Leaf Extract
An antioxidant-rich botanical extract that helps support skin comfort and calm the appearance of stressed or reactive skin.
Ceramide Complex (Ceramide AP, Ceramide EOP, Phytosphingosine, Cholesterol)
A lipid blend designed to mirror components naturally found in the skin barrier. This complex supports moisture retention and barrier function, helping skin feel more resilient and less reactive over time.
Panthenol (Vitamin B5)
A humectant and skin-conditioning ingredient that supports hydration, softness, and skin comfort — particularly in sensitised skin.
Licorice Root Extract (Glycyrrhiza Glabra)
Contains compounds that help improve the appearance of uneven pigmentation and support skin calm.
Aloe Vera Leaf Juice Powder
A classic skin-conditioning ingredient that supports hydration and comfort, particularly after environmental exposure.
Hyaluronic Acid
A humectant that attracts and holds water within the skin, supporting plumpness and hydration.
Kakadu Plum Extract (Terminalia Ferdinandiana)
An antioxidant-rich Australian native extract that supports skin brightness and helps protect the skin surface from environmental stress.
Sodium Lauroyl Lactylate & Carbomer
Functional ingredients that stabilise the formula, support even distribution, and contribute to skin feel.
Ethylhexylglycerin & Caprylyl Glycol
Skin-conditioning preservatives that help maintain product stability while supporting hydration.
Phenoxyethanol, Sodium Benzoate & Potassium Sorbate
Preservatives used to ensure product safety and shelf stability.
Citric Acid
Used to maintain a skin-compatible pH.
Why Halo Matters
Barrier-supportive serums like Halo help the skin maintain homeostasis — supporting hydration, lipid balance, and tolerance rather than pushing aggressive change.
This makes Halo particularly useful:
-
alongside active treatments
-
after exfoliation or retinoid use
-
when skin feels unpredictable or reactive
How to Use
Apply 2–3 drops to clean, damp skin morning and evening.
Follow with moisturiser or facial oil as needed.
For best results, layer after a hydrating mist and before heavier products.
Who Halo Is Best Suited For
Halo is well suited to:
-
sensitive or reactive skin
-
acne-prone or congested skin
-
post-breakout pigmentation
-
dehydrated skin that still produces oil
-
routines focused on barrier support and balance
In Summary
Halo Vitamin B Serum is a barrier-supportive formulation designed to improve hydration, skin comfort, and overall balance over time.
