The Resilience Reset is a two-step skincare duo for perimenopausal and menopausal skin: the M-Veil™ Antioxidant Serum (30 ml), a vitamin C facial oil for morning, and the M-Veil™ Resilience Balm (15 g), a balm stick for night. Both carry vitamin C, CoQ10, bakuchiol and four mushroom extracts to help skin look calmer, smoother and more luminous, and the balm seals in moisture overnight.
The serum comes in Neroli & Sandalwood or Unscented; the balm is fragrance-free. One 60-day supply.

- Both waterless, with no synthetic fragrance
- Vegan and cruelty-free
- Formulated in Victoria, BC

Benefits
- Softer, more comfortable skin, morning to night, as the serum's marula, baobab and Kalahari melon oils replenish lipids, and the balm's mango butter and waxes condition the driest areas.
- Smooths the look of fine lines, so skin looks firmer and smoother, with the serum's bakuchiol.
- Brighter, more even-looking tone, with the serum's oil-soluble vitamin C.
- Calms the look of redness and comforts sensitive-feeling skin, with Reishi in both steps.
- Rich in antioxidants: vitamin C, vitamin E and CoQ10, which help defend skin against the visible effects of everyday environmental stress.
How to use
Morning: Warm 2–3 drops of the serum between your fingertips and press, rather than rub, into clean, slightly damp skin on the face and neck. Follow with sunscreen.
Evening: Glide the balm over clean, dry skin as the last step before bed, on its own or over the serum on nights you use both.
During the day: Use the balm as a top-up on dry spots, even over makeup, whenever skin needs extra comfort.
Why two steps
Serum by day, balm by night, through every stage of change.
In perimenopause and menopause, skin tends to feel drier and more reactive than it used to, and it needs different things at different times of day. In the morning, the serum absorbs without residue and sits well under sunscreen. At night, the balm seals in moisture on the driest areas while you sleep. One complex, two textures, one ritual.
In the serum: 2% vitamin C, 1% vitamin E, 1% CoQ10 and 0.5% bakuchiol, with four mushroom extracts. The balm carries the same actives in a waterless balm base.
Who it's for
- Skin that is dry all over and in patches: the serum for the whole face, the balm for lips, outer eye and cheekbones
- Anyone who wants the whole ritual, morning and night, in one set
- Skin that feels reactive: choose the Unscented serum, and neither step carries added scent

IIDisclosed Formulation
Every active named, every dose disclosed.
No proprietary blends, no fairy dusting. The percentage beside each name is the percentage in the bottle.
Vitamin CTetrahexyldecyl AscorbateFor brighter, more even-looking skin2.0%
The oil-soluble form of vitamin C. L-ascorbic acid needs a low-pH water phase and begins oxidising the day the bottle is opened; THDA sits stably in an anhydrous oil and stays that way.
Attaching four fatty-acid chains to ascorbic acid makes it oil-soluble, so it travels with the rest of the formula instead of fighting it. At 2.0% it is the serum's largest single active, and the reason an anhydrous oil can carry vitamin C at all.
In the formula
A stable, oil-soluble form of vitamin C that helps skin look brighter and more even, without the low pH that makes water-based vitamin C sting.
Why we chose it
Chosen over L-ascorbic acid for stability: it stays stable in a waterless formula instead of oxidising once the product is opened.
ReishiGanoderma lucidum (Mushroom) ExtractHydration for skin that feels tight1.25%
One quarter of the 5% mushroom complex, contributing beta-glucans: the polysaccharides that hold water at the surface of the skin.
The four mushrooms are dosed at 1.25% each, which is how the complex reaches 5% without any one of them being fairy-dusted. Reishi's beta-glucans anchor the complex's hydration; the other three are here for what they add around it.
In the formula
Beta-glucans are large, water-loving polysaccharides. They hold water at the skin's surface and form a light film that helps reduce moisture loss.
Why we chose it
Chosen for hydration. Its beta-glucans hold water at the surface, and that is the only job reishi does in this formula.
ChagaInonotus obliquus (Mushroom) ExtractDefends against how daily stress shows1.25%
The antioxidant density of the complex. Chaga concentrates polyphenols, melanin complexes and birch-derived triterpenes.
Chaga grows on birch and takes the tree's betulin with it. Its antioxidants sit in a different part of the formula than the vitamin C and E pair, which is the argument for having all three rather than doubling down on one.
In the formula
Polyphenols, melanin complexes and birch-derived triterpenes: antioxidants that help defend skin against the visible effects of everyday environmental stress.
Why we chose it
Chosen for antioxidant density, and dosed at 1.25% as one of four mushrooms rather than as a headline extract.
MaitakeGrifola frondosa (Mushroom) ExtractLeaves skin softer to the touch1.25%
The third quarter of the complex, contributing grifolan-type beta-glucans to the same surface hydration the others build.
Maitake is the quiet member of the complex, adding its beta-glucans to the moisture-holding film it builds with reishi and cordyceps. It earns its place as part of a dosed group rather than as a headline active.
In the formula
Grifolan beta-glucans: humectant and film-forming at the skin's surface, alongside the other three extracts.
Why we chose it
Chosen for the same surface hydration reishi brings, and dosed at 1.25% as one quarter of the complex.
CordycepsCordyceps Sinensis ExtractSeals that moisture in1.25%
The fourth quarter of the mushroom complex. Cordyceps adds its polysaccharides to the moisture-holding film that reishi and maitake build.
Species matters more here than anywhere else in the formula. Commercial "Cordyceps sinensis" is almost always cultivated Cordyceps militaris or the CS-4 mycelial strain; the wild fungus is among the most expensive biological materials on earth and is not in a skincare bottle. Ours is cultivated, and we confirm the species on paper rather than trusting the trade name.
In the formula
Polysaccharides that add to the complex's hydrating, skin-softening film.
Why we chose it
Like the complex's beta-glucans, its polysaccharides are humectants, holding water at the skin's surface. That is the only role we ask cordyceps to play here.
CoQ10UbiquinoneFor skin that looks less tired1.0%
An antioxidant that occurs naturally in skin. We include it at 1.0%, disclosed on the carton.
Packaging matters as much as the formula here: ubiquinone is light- and oxygen-sensitive, which is why it sits in violet glass or an opaque stick. A clear bottle spends the dose before the customer does.
In the formula
An oil-soluble antioxidant, which is why it belongs in a waterless oil. It helps defend skin against the visible effects of everyday environmental stress.
Why we chose it
Chosen for the oil phase: ubiquinone is lipid-soluble, so a waterless formula is the right carrier for it. It is light- and oxygen-sensitive, which is why it ships in violet glass.
Vitamin ETocopherolMakes the vitamin C work harder1.0%
An oil-soluble antioxidant that occurs naturally in skin's own surface lipids. In the serum it is dosed as an active at 1.0%, not the trace amount used only to keep oils from turning.
Vitamin E and vitamin C are here as a pair rather than as two entries on a list: tocopherol is used up as it works, and vitamin C returns it to its active form. That partnership is the reason both are dosed. It also keeps the formula's own oils fresh, one ingredient doing two jobs.
In the formula
An oil-soluble antioxidant. It helps defend skin against the visible effects of everyday environmental stress, and keeps the formula's own oils fresh. Vitamin C returns it to its active form, which is why the two are paired.
Why we chose it
Chosen as a pair with vitamin C, because the two keep each other active. Dosing one without the other is the cheaper way to build a formula, and the weaker one.
BakuchiolPsoralea corylifoliaSoftens the look of lines, no retinol0.5%
A plant-derived alternative to retinol, gentle enough for sensitive skin. It is photostable, so it can sit in a morning formula.
Bakuchiol is isolated from the seed of Psoralea corylifolia, the babchi plant. It is photostable, so unlike retinol it can sit in a morning formula. We dose it at 0.5% and print the number on the carton, rather than at a figure that reads better on a label than it behaves on a face.
In the formula
Not a retinoid, and structurally unrelated to one. In this formula it helps skin look smoother and more even, and it is gentle enough for sensitive skin.
Why we chose it
Chosen as a retinol alternative that holds up in daylight, which is what lets it sit in a morning formula. Dosed at 0.5%, the level printed on the carton.
IIIHow to use
