A note from Merina:
I am bringing back this formula from 2023, with few tweaks for refined performance for 2024/25 season. My skin LOVED the renewing protocol for the winter season restoration of body, and skin. In addition to a dietary, and health regime, that includes an Ayurvedic-based diet, infrared sauna, and PEMF treatments, I incorporate a special nourishing treatment for my skin. Researched, tried and tested elemental and botanical extracts commissioned from my favorite farmers, and herbal infusions done over the lunar cycles.
The WINTER GRACE serum is back again. I am delighted to invite you to share this experience with me. Use what a “plant witch” is making for herself, which of course is the best of the best. Let’s restore and renew our skin to its healthiest state, together.

Your MAHALO ritual : how to use
Intended to complement your existing MAHALO Skin Care line, The WINTER GRACE serum is best applied over freshly cleansed and hydrated skin, and over lighter face oils. This looks like this:
Step 1 : cleanse with The UNVEIL.
Step 2 : two pumps of The HAWAIIAN HYDRATION over damp skin (boost it with few mists of The FLOWER of FLOWERS).
Step 3 AM* : one pump of The VITALITY ELIXIR
[Step 3 PM* : one – two pumps of The HAWAIIAN NIGHTS].
Step 4 : one – two pumps of The WINTER GRACE serum.
Step 5 (optional) : thin veil of any of our balms to lock in moisture and hydration.
*step 3 is optional, listen to your skin on how much oil serum treatment is desired
Micro-emulsion
Another wonderful way that can boost the performance and absorption of the serum is to create an emulsion (this is also a great tip for a quicker skin care application). In the palm of your hand combine 1-3 pumps of The HAWAIIAN HYDRATION with 1-2 pumps of The WINTER GRACE serum for your own alchemized blend of hydration (from the concentrate) and moisture (from the serum) for a vital glow that lasts and lasts.
Experience:
Oil-based serum high in oleic and linoleic acids to deeply moisturize, nourish, and renew the skin. This serum feels thicker than VITALITY ELIXIR, or HAWAIIAN NIGHTS, and is more “oily” and rich in texture, while still being compatible with oily and acneic skins. Its hue is deep orange / orange-red, thanks to high content of unrefined antioxidants, red plant and saffron infusions.
Aroma:
This serum was not designed for scent, and essential oils have been excluded from its formula. The aroma is herbaceous, with gentle sweet and woodsy notes from sandalwood and saffron extracts.
How is it different:
Free from strong actives such as Vitamin C, or retinol, the emphasis of this serum is on gentle, yet intelligent renewal of skin with the aid of unrefined botanicals naturally rich in antioxidants and fatty acids.

What’s Inside?
here are some key ingredients
Hazelnut
Another antioxidant-rich superstar, hazelnut oil contains a rich source of Vitamin E antioxidant from tannins, and other phytochemicals that help protect the skin by combating oxidative stress caused by free radicals. Clinical studies showed that hazelnut is one of the best sources of combined polyphenols, which along with their antioxidant properties have potential whitening effects and prominent protective effects against cell damage and skin aging.
Prickly Pear
Also known as bearberry fig oil and Indian fig seed oil, it is one of the most precious and potent natural skin care ingredients on the market. It is abundant in flavonoids, zinc, antioxidants, vitamin E and K, phytosterols, and omega 6 and 9 fatty acids. Vitamin E found in prickly pear seed oil is the highest of any plant oil on the market (3 times higher than argan oil) which helps to reduce the appearance of fine lines, decrease oil production, calm redness, and brighten and even complexion.
Sacha Inchi
This rich, age reversing oil helps to stimulate collagen production, reduce effects of environmental stressors and support natural regeneration of each cell.

Red Fruit
Contains one of the highest bioactive antioxidant constituent levels in the plant world. Offering natural source of β-carotene, tocopherol, fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, K, E, F), as well as a high percentage of unsaturated fatty acids, particularly Linoleic (Omega 6) and Oleic (Omega 9) acids which aid in repairing oxidative stress conditions. Its anti-inflammatory properties make it a wonderful go-to ingredient in helping to address eczema and psoriasis, helping to decrease redness and itchiness.
Saffron
A botanical answer to “gold”, saffron is abundant in antioxidants, including crocin, carotenoids and crocetin which help protect skin from oxidative stress, combat free radicals, and make the skin appear fresh and youthful. It is renowned for its brightening properties, it also aids in the retention of moisture, delivering a soft, supple and plump skin appearance.
Pomegranate
A natural triglyceride oil, pomegranate is rich in natural antioxidants and is especially high in C18:3 conjugates, making it plumping and moisturizing with its long-chain lipids which cocoon each cell in soothing support.
