💧 A professional facial finishing oil from CIRCADIA built for dry, dehydrated, and barrier-compromised clients — where standard moisturizers stop short.

Macadamia Seed Oil and Squalane anchor the formula with fatty acids that mirror skin's own sebum composition, delivering an occlusive effect that reduces transepidermal water loss without the heavy, greasy finish that limits facial oil use across skin types. The multi-source antioxidant profile — Vitamin E and CoQ10 working in tandem with Rice Bran Oil's gamma-oryzanol — gives clients daily environmental defense alongside barrier nourishment. The anhydrous base is purpose-built for blending directly into other CIRCADIA treatment products, letting you calibrate hydration depth within a layered protocol rather than committing to a fixed outcome.

That blendability also makes the handoff to retail natural: clients who notice the texture upgrade during the facial are already primed for a take-home conversation.

A strong fit for estheticians whose menus include barrier-repair facials or post-procedure recovery services.

• Moisture Retention and Barrier Support: The combination of Macadamia Seed Oil and Squalane forms a lightweight occlusive layer on the skin surface that reduces transepidermal water loss, helping dry and dehydrated skin maintain essential moisture throughout the day or overnight. The result is visibly softer, more supple skin with a smooth, non-greasy finish.
• Deep Emollient Conditioning: Macadamia Seed Oil's high concentration of palmitoleic acid — a fatty acid naturally present in skin sebum — allows it to integrate smoothly into the skin's surface lipid layer, softening rough texture and improving the skin's overall feel and suppleness.
• Antioxidant Defense: Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E) and Ubiquinone (CoQ10) work together to help neutralize free radicals on the skin surface. Rice Bran Oil contributes additional antioxidant activity through its naturally occurring gamma-oryzanol content, providing a multi-source antioxidant profile suited to daily environmental exposure.
• Nourishing Lightweight Texture: The formula's blend of synthetic ester carriers (Coco-Caprylate/Caprate, C9-12 Alkane, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride) alongside Squalane creates a fast-absorbing texture that delivers the nourishing benefits of a facial oil without the heavy or occlusive feel associated with traditional plant-oil-only formulas — suitable for all skin types, including combination and oily-tendency skin.
• Blendability for Enhanced Nutrient Delivery: The anhydrous, lipophilic base is compatible for blending with other Circadia treatment products, allowing professionals to customize hydration levels and carrier depth within a multi-product protocol.

Macadamia Ternifolia Seed Oil - known as Macadamia Seed Oil: One of the most skin-compatible plant oils available, Macadamia Seed Oil is exceptionally rich in palmitoleic acid — a monounsaturated fatty acid that closely mirrors the skin's own sebum composition. As a leave-on emollient, it softens and smooths the skin surface, helps maintain the lipid barrier, and contributes to the non-greasy, fast-absorbing texture that distinguishes this oil from heavier botanical alternatives.

Squalane: A highly stable, lightweight emollient that forms a breathable occlusive film on the skin surface to reduce transepidermal water loss without clogging pores. Squalane closely resembles the skin's natural squalene, making it exceptionally well-tolerated across all skin types, including sensitive and barrier-compromised skin. Its low molecular weight contributes to the formula's quick-absorbing, non-greasy finish.

Oryza Sativa Bran Oil - known as Rice Bran Oil: A lightweight, antioxidant-rich carrier oil derived from the outer bran layer of rice. Rice Bran Oil contains gamma-oryzanol, a plant-specific antioxidant compound, along with naturally occurring tocopherols and phytosterols that help protect the skin surface from oxidative stress and contribute to a smooth, conditioned feel. It absorbs readily and pairs well with heavier emollients to balance the formula's texture.

Tocopheryl Acetate - known as Vitamin E (Tocopheryl Acetate): The esterified, stabilized form of Vitamin E, Tocopheryl Acetate is an oil-soluble antioxidant that helps protect the skin surface from free radical damage caused by environmental stressors such as UV exposure and pollution. As a leave-on active, it remains in contact with the skin long enough for meaningful antioxidant activity. The acetate ester form is notably more shelf-stable than free Tocopherol, making it well-suited to an anhydrous oil formula.

Ubiquinone - known as Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10): An oil-soluble, naturally occurring antioxidant present at trace concentration. CoQ10 is valued in skincare for its ability to help neutralize free radicals on the skin surface. Its lipophilic nature makes it compatible with an anhydrous oil base, and its trace-effective concentration profile — consistent with standard use levels in professional skincare — means it can contribute to the formula's antioxidant defense alongside Tocopheryl Acetate.

1. Ensure the client's face and neck have been thoroughly cleansed and any treatment products (serums, treatments) have been applied first.
2. Dispense several drops of Hydralox Hydrating Oil onto the fingertips.
3. Smooth the oil evenly over the client's face and neck using gentle pressing or light massage motions.
4. Avoid contact with the eye area.
5. Allow the oil to absorb before applying any additional products or SPF on top.
6. To boost hydration within a Circadia multi-product protocol, add several drops directly to another Circadia product in the palm before application.

Layering and customization in a professional facial protocol

Hydralox works most effectively as the final emollient step in a layered protocol — after water-based serums and treatment actives but before any physical SPF or tinted product. For clients with significantly compromised or sensitized barriers (wind-burned, post-procedure, or chronically dry), applying the oil over a still-slightly-damp skin surface can help trap residual water and amplify the occlusive effect. When blending into other Circadia products, a 2–3 drop addition is typically sufficient; adding too much will shift the skin feel and may affect the host product's absorption rate. This blending feature is a natural retail conversion moment: clients who respond well to the texture upgrade during the service are strong candidates for a take-home retail size.
