One serum. Face. Hands. Body.

Draíocht Hyaluronic Serum blends six of the most widely studied ingredients in skincare research. Each active works through a distinct mechanism, and together they help skin look and feel hydrated and healthy.

A single application can replace two or three separate hydrating products in your routine. You’re not stacking overlapping ingredients; you’re applying one formula designed to work as a complete hydration system.

Draíocht is not a face-only serum. The same six actives that care for your cheek care for your forearm, the back of your hand and the delicate skin at the collarbone.

Water-based, formulated without known pore-clogging ingredients and quick to absorb, Draíocht is a lighter alternative to greasy petroleum-based lotions that sit on top of your skin.

The formula

13.4% of every bottle is active ingredients, and we publish every percentage.

Sodium hyaluronate 1%

The vessel of hydration

A long chain of natural sugars, this molecule holds up to a thousand times its weight in water, creating a soft, gel-like reservoir that cradles skin in moisture. It is the same substance your body makes to keep skin, joints and eyes supple, a compound so essential that every vertebrate creature on earth manufactures its own supply. As the years pass, that natural production slows. Applied to the skin, sodium hyaluronate helps bring back the plump, supple look of a well-hydrated complexion.

Niacinamide 4%

The artisan of the skin barrier

A form of vitamin B3 present in every living cell, niacinamide helps support a healthy-looking skin barrier, calms the look of redness in reactive complexions and gently evens the appearance of sun-touched patches. It is a nutrient long recognized as fundamental to a whole and resilient complexion. In your skin, it works as a steady craftsman, helping hold moisture in and bringing back the even-looking tone that comes from balance.

Panthenol 3%

The shape-shifter

On contact, this humble molecule becomes pantothenic acid, vitamin B5. It draws moisture into the outer layers of the skin, soothes the look of dry, reactive patches and helps rough, stressed skin feel comfortable again. Its name comes from the Greek pantothen, “from everywhere,” because it appears in nearly every food and living creature on earth. In your skin, it plays its ancient role as the quiet essential: softening, soothing and holding water where skin needs it most.

Propanediol 3%

The quiet courier

A simple three-carbon sugar alcohol born from the fermentation of plant sugars, propanediol draws a soft veil of moisture into the skin and helps the formula spread and absorb smoothly. Unlike the harsher solvents of the petroleum age, it is gentle enough for reactive complexions, yet keeps every drop of the serum fluid, stable and ready to absorb. Modern formulators use it to replace older, more irritating glycols.

Trehalose 2%

The sugar of preservation

When skin meets dryness, cold or environmental stress, it loses the moisture that keeps it plump and pliant. Trehalose helps skin hold onto water so it stays comfortable and hydrated even in harsh conditions. It’s the same compound that lets desert resurrection plants revive from apparent death and allows tardigrades to survive extremes no other creature can. In your skin, it works quieter magic.

Botanical illustration of comfrey

Allantoin 0.4%

The mender

Found in comfrey, the medieval apothecary herb folk tradition called “knitbone,” allantoin gently coaxes your skin toward a fresher look. It softens tired, rough surface cells that dull the complexion and soothes the look of redness on stressed, dry skin, leaving it smoother and softer with each application. Centuries of European apothecaries hand-ground comfrey root into their salves. In your skin, it softens what is rough and calms the dryness that would otherwise steal your glow.

Four guards at the door

Preservatives, under 1% each

Any water-based formula has to be protected from the microbes it would otherwise invite in. Each of these four guards a different door, and each is used at the lowest level that does the work, so the last application is as clean as the first.

  • PhenoxyethanolBroad protection against bacteria
  • Potassium sorbateHolds back yeast and mold
  • GluconolactoneStrengthens the system and keeps the formula balanced
  • Benzyl alcoholExtra defense against bacteria

No parabens. No formaldehyde-releasing preservatives.

A simple daily routine

  1. Cleanse gently

    Use a non-stripping, fragrance-free cleanser, and avoid hot water, which pulls moisture from skin.

  2. Apply a thin coat

    Spread Draíocht over face and body without clumping, and let it absorb fully before any other skincare.

  3. Repeat morning and night

    Consistency matters more than product count. A simple routine used daily beats a complicated one used occasionally.

One bottle lasts a month or more, depending on how much of the body you use it on. For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes. Stop using if irritation occurs. This is general skincare information, not medical advice; if dryness is severe, persistent, painful or cracked, see a dermatologist.

Questions

No. It’s water-based and absorbs without leaving a film.

Can I use it with retinol or vitamin C?

Ask your doctor before starting any new skincare product during pregnancy.
