The Power Trio – KAI, THE FIX, and RESQ
At O K T A, we carefully select brands and products that align with our mission to offer tailored skincare solutions. One of our standout partners, KHUS+KHUS, has crafted a powerful trio of products – KAI repair balm, THE FIX face potion, and RESQ face and neck potion – each designed to address different skin concerns while working together to nourish, heal, and rejuvenate your skin. Here’s a closer look at what sets them apart and how they can elevate your skincare routine.
KAI repair balm – Your Earthy Elixir
The latest addition of the three, KAI stands out as a concentrated oil, brimming with rich minerals that your skin craves. This potent formula is perfect for addressing inflammation, especially for those dealing with acne without experiencing severe dryness. It promotes cellular turnover, making it an excellent treatment step in your skincare ritual.
Key Ingredients:
- Vetiver: Known for its grounding and balancing properties, vetiver is a powerful anti-inflammatory that helps calm irritated skin while promoting tissue repair.
- Wildcrafted Frankincense: Revered for its ability to promote cellular turnover and reduce the appearance of scars and fine lines, frankincense also adds a calming, earthy scent to the formula.
- Camellia Seed Oil: Rich in antioxidants, this lightweight oil deeply nourishes the skin without clogging pores, making it ideal for sensitive or acne-prone skin
KAI’s scent is naturally derived from its earthy ingredients like vetiver and wildcrafted frankincense. The aroma is very light and can only be detected when extracting the product from the jar; once applied to the skin, the scent fades, leaving no lingering fragrance. KAI is ideal for those living in more humid climates, where something lighter is preferred. Think of KAI as your go-to when your skin needs that extra boost of vitality, but without the weight of a heavier product.
THE FIX face potion – Soothing Hydration for Dry, Irritated Skin
For those with very dry skin, rosacea, or eczema, THE FIX is your saving grace. This deeply hydrating product provides relief to skin in need of serious TLC. Infused with usnea, a powerful anti-inflammatory ingredient, and frankincense, it works to calm and soothe while locking in moisture.
Key Ingredients:
- Usnea: This natural lichen extract has potent anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties, making it perfect for calming irritated or inflamed skin, especially in cases of rosacea or eczema.
- Frankincense: Like in KAI, frankincense in THE FIX promotes healing and cellular regeneration, while also helping to reduce the appearance of scars and imperfections.
- Lemon Balm: Known for its soothing and calming effects, lemon balm helps to reduce redness and irritation, while also providing a light, refreshing scent.
The light lemon-jasmine scent comes from natural ingredients like neroli and lemon balm. Like KAI, the aroma is subtle and only noticeable during application; once absorbed into the skin, the scent disappears, making it perfect for those who prefer minimal fragrance. THE FIX is the answer if your skin craves intense hydration and a gentle touch. Although targeting dry and irritated skin, it is suitable for all skin types, making THE FIX face potion an O K T A favorite!
RESQ face and neck potion – The Rose-Infused Radiance
RESQ offers a slightly lighter texture that’s perfect for addressing moderate dryness, fine lines, and uneven texture. Packed with three types of rose ingredients, including Bulgarian rose and wildcrafted rose geranium, RESQ brings a luxurious touch to your routine, helping to smooth and rejuvenate the skin.
Key Ingredients:
- Bulgarian Rose: Renowned for its hydrating and anti-aging properties, Bulgarian rose helps to reduce redness and soothe the skin while promoting a more even complexion.
- Wildcrafted Rose Geranium: This ingredient balances sebum production and improves skin elasticity, making it perfect for those with fine lines or uneven skin tone.
- Rosehip Seed Oil: Rich in vitamins A and C, rosehip seed oil promotes skin regeneration and reduces the appearance of scars and wrinkles, while providing a burst of hydration.
The delicate rose scent is naturally derived from these rose components, offering a soft, non-potent fragrance that once again you’ll only detect when applying the product. Once absorbed, the scent fades completely, leaving your skin refreshed but not perfumed. RESQ strikes the perfect balance between nourishment and lightness, offering hydration without feeling heavy.
Choosing Your Perfect Match
Though these three products share similar effects on the skin and all three are suitable to all skin types, their differences lie in texture, consistency, and aroma. KAI’s concentrated oil is a must for humid climates and those needing a treatment boost. THE FIX is all about deep hydration for severe dryness and irritation, while RESQ offers a lighter, yet equally nourishing, option tackling fine lines with a touch of floral elegance.
And remember, all these scents are naturally derived from the ingredients themselves, designed to be light and non-invasive. You’ll experience them when you first apply, but they won’t linger on the skin.
Khus Khus: A Unique Element
What makes Khus Khus so special in these formulations is its grounding, earthy essence. Known for its balancing properties, Khus Khus adds a layer of uniqueness to all their products, especially KAI. It works in harmony with the other ingredients, enhancing the overall calming and nourishing effect on the skin.
