The Morning Glow 30 ml

The Morning Glow by This Place is a lightweight facial oil for the morning routine - designed for skin that should start the day cared for, smooth, and fresh.

The formula is based on fast-absorbing grape seed oil and combines squalane, golden algae extract, and vitamin C into an antioxidant-focused care that retains moisture, softens the skin, and gives the complexion a natural glow.

• Grape seed oil is a light plant oil with a high content of linoleic acid and antioxidant components. It keeps the skin smooth, supports the skin barrier, and helps retain moisture better. Because it absorbs quickly and does not feel heavy, it is very suitable as a day oil – even for combination skin or skin that quickly finds rich textures too much.
• Squalane is a skin-like lipid that softens the skin and can hold moisture in the skin. It smooths the skin feel, absorbs pleasantly, and leaves a silky finish instead of a greasy film. In The Morning Glow, squalane ensures that the skin looks cared for and smooth without the oil feeling heavy.
• Golden algae extract supports the skin with marine plant substances and antioxidant care. It helps the skin feel calmer and more balanced and fits well into a day care routine because the skin is more exposed to external stress during the day. The skin appears softer, better nourished, and less stressed.
• Vitamin C promotes a fresher and more even-looking complexion. In The Morning Glow, an oil-soluble form of vitamin C is used, which fits well into the oil composition. It complements the antioxidant care and is useful when the skin looks dull or needs more radiance in the morning.
• Hazelnut oil is a light, well-absorbing plant oil. It softens, supports the skin barrier, and helps balance the skin feel. Hazelnut oil nourishes without feeling greasy.

The Morning Glow is well suited for normal, dry, mature and combination skin – even when the skin looks a bit tired in the morning or needs more suppleness. The oil can be used pure as the last care step, mixed with a cream, or worn as a glowy base under sunscreen and makeup. The light, fresh scent of geranium, ylang-ylang, lemongrass, and orange makes the application a small, invigorating morning ritual.

Active Ingredients

• Squalane or squalane oil (Squalane) is a light, non-comedogenic, and non-greasy oil that leaves skin silky soft. Squalane is a natural component of our skin barrier and is therefore very well absorbed by our skin. It protects the skin from moisture loss and prevents oxidation of the skin's own fats. The regenerating oil prevents age spots, reduces the appearance of wrinkles, makes the skin supple, and promotes oxygen supply and cell regeneration. It is mostly derived from olive oil, less often from rice bran or wheat germ oil.
• The nutrients in golden algae reduce redness and inflammation and provide deep-acting moisture to soothe and repair dry and damaged skin. It is rich in essential, energy-giving minerals and vitamins. Algae extract helps stimulate collagen production in the skin and protects against damage from free radicals.
• Babassu seed oil (Orbignya oleifera seed oil) has pronounced antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties due to its high content of lauric and myristic acid. The oil penetrates quickly and deeply into the skin and provides long-lasting moisture to all skin layers. Its favorable fatty acid mix and high vitamin E content make it an anti-aging booster and promote smooth and soft skin. A very good choice for those prone to clogged or acne-prone skin.
• Buriti oil (also called Morete) is obtained from the fruits of the buriti palm (Mauritia vinifera / Mauritia flexuosa), mainly found in Brazil. Buriti oil is characterized by a high concentration of oleic acid, tocopherols (vitamin precursors), provitamin A, and carotenoids, especially a very high amount of beta-carotene (5 times that of carrots). The nourishing oil has strong antioxidant properties, supports cell regeneration, and offers light natural protection against UV rays. The potent anti-aging oil cares for skin and hair and can normalize sebum production.
• Hazelnut oil (Corylus avellana (Hazel) Seed Oil) has a high content of unsaturated fatty acids and contains linoleic acid, phospholipids, vitamin E, and various trace elements such as potassium, calcium, or sulfur. It nourishes the skin, strengthens the skin barrier, and has the ability to regenerate damaged cells. The delicate oil is non-comedogenic, well tolerated, and absorbs quickly into the skin. It balances and supports healthy sebum production. At the same time, it fights inflammatory blemishes, provides moisture, and has excellent care effects for every skin type, especially dry, sensitive, and flaky skin.
• Geranium oil (Pelargonium Graveolens (geranium) oil) has the property to regulate the skin's sebum production. While it reduces sebum production in oily skin, it stimulates sebum production in dry skin. The essential oil, already used in ancient Egypt for skin care, also stimulates blood circulation, improves skin elasticity, and has anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and wound-healing effects.
• Moringa seed oil (Moringa pterygosperma seed extract / oil) – The moringa tree is called the "miracle tree" and "tree of life" because of its uses. Moringa oil is nutrient-rich and helps tighten the skin and slow down the aging process due to its high concentration of antioxidants. Moringa oil has antibacterial properties that can relieve acne inflammation and reduce redness.
• Essential orange oil (Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Orange) Peel Oil) is obtained by cold pressing the peels of oranges. Orange oil has brightening, antibacterial, and astringent effects. It can therefore combat inflammation and blemishes, regulate excessive sebum production, and promote a smoother complexion. Orange oil contains limonene, aldehydes, linalool, citronella, citral, terpineol, vitamin C, and geraniol. The scent calms and uplifts the mood.
• Ylang Ylang means "flower of flowers," which the plant likely owes to its intoxicating scent. The essential ylang ylang oil has balancing, antibacterial, and antiseptic effects. It regulates sebum production, thus moisturizing dry skin while mattifying oily skin. Very suitable for combination skin or blemishes, it promotes a permanently healthier complexion. The oil is also said to have aphrodisiac effects.
