Description
SERENA face Oil-Quiet the Noise. Restore the Calm.
Sensitive skin is often skin in a state of constant biological “alarm.” SERENA is our answer to inflammation and hyper-reactivity. Unlike standard moisturisers that can contain irritating emulsifiers, this handcrafted serum uses botanical intelligence to dial down the redness and rebuild the skin’s defensive envelope.
Texture & Consistency
A weightless, silky oil that absorbs almost instantly, leaving no tackiness or shine — engineered specifically to feel like nothing at all on skin that reacts to everything.
Scent Profile — What to Expect
Extremely faint — a soft touch of lavender, barely perceptible. This formula is built to be virtually unscented, avoiding fragrance allergens entirely for the most reactive skin types.
How It Works — Why This Formula
SERENA treats sensitivity as a physiological state, not a skin type — reactive skin is skin whose inflammatory response has become oversensitised, often flaring at triggers that wouldn’t affect other skin. The formula’s core action comes from a double dose of bisabolol: once naturally present in German Chamomile oil, and again concentrated through German Chamomile CO2 extract, giving SERENA one of the highest bisabolol concentrations achievable in a natural formula — bisabolol is among the most clinically studied calming actives in botanical skincare. Calendula CO2 works alongside it to reduce inflammation at the source, while a bio-identical Olive Squalane base means the carrier itself never triggers a reaction, unlike many conventional emulsified moisturisers.
The SERENA Soothing Strategy
- Botanical Serenity: High-concentration Calendula CO2 extract provides a profound anti-inflammatory effect, targeting irritation at the source while supporting rapid tissue repair.
- Organic Purity: Formulated with certified organic ingredients, ensuring that your skin receives only pure, potent plant medicine without the risk of synthetic triggers.
- Allergen-Free Protection: Every botanical source in SERENA has been screened to ensure a formula free from the 26 EU-declared fragrance allergens — making it the ultimate choice for reactive skin types.
- Barrier Reinforcement: A base of bio-identical Olive Squalane mimics the skin’s natural sebum, creating a weightless protective shield that prevents environmental triggers from causing flare-ups.
- Bisabolol Intelligence: Derived from German Chamomile, Bisabolol is one of the most clinically validated skin-calming actives in botanical skincare — reducing redness, accelerating healing, and restoring comfort to compromised skin.
Key Benefits
- Handcrafted in Small Batches: Precision-blended to ensure the highest energetic and chemical integrity of the extracts.
- Redness Reduction: Visibly calms the appearance of capillaries and environmental stress.
- 100% Anhydrous Excellence: No water means no preservatives and no burning sensation on compromised skin.
- Velvet Finish: Absorbs instantly, leaving the skin feeling protected, soft, and silent.
- Neuro-Sensitivity Support: Specifically formulated to restore the skin’s emotional and physiological balance — calming not just the surface, but the skin’s deeper stress response.
How to Use
Apply 4-6 drops to cleansed skin morning and evening. Press gently into face, neck and décolleté. Ideal for skin experiencing redness, reactivity or hormonal sensitivity. Use consistently for visible calming results within 2-3 weeks.
A Concentrated Formula
This formula contains supercritical CO2 botanical extracts alongside a wide spectrum of cold-pressed organic carrier oils — several used at, or close to, their maximum effective, IFRA-compliant concentrations. Supercritical CO2 extraction preserves the full spectrum of a plant’s bioactive compounds without heat damage or solvent residue. Every carrier oil and CO2 extract is sourced from verified, trusted European suppliers with full Certificates of Analysis (CoA) and GC-MS testing for every batch — the same sourcing standard applied across the entire Artemida Botanicals range.

Warnings & Precautions
For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes. Formulated free from the 26 EU-declared fragrance allergens, making it suitable for highly reactive skin — a patch test is still recommended before first full-face use. Keep out of reach of children. Store in a cool, dry and dark place away from direct sunlight.
SERENA is not a treatment. It is a truce — giving your skin permission to finally stop fighting.
