Himalayan Valley — Skin Longevity Zone

The Himalayan Valley is a Skin Longevity Zone for recovery: at altitude, under thin air and intense UV, resident skin in our research renewed and repaired where the environment is hardest. Endurance made visible — that is this zone's lesson.

The Himalayan Valley zone is connected to two antioxidant botanicals: green tea extract and sea buckthorn fruit extract. Together they support the tolerance-and-recovery pillar, helping defend skin from environmental stressors while supporting radiance.

Green tea extract is a botanical rich in polyphenols and catechins with an effective antioxidant action. These compounds help counter the visible effects of free radicals generated by daily environmental exposure.

Green tea extract supports the skin's defense against environmental stressors such as pollution and external aggressions. It helps preserve the balance of the skin barrier, leaving skin looking more protected, radiant, and even.

Yes, green tea extract is also suitable for sensitive skin. Its antioxidant, barrier-balancing action helps keep delicate skin feeling fresh and looking vital over time, and every The Nine Aurora formula is clinically and dermatologically tested.

Sea buckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides) fruit extract is a natural source of vitamins C and E, essential fatty acids, and antioxidants. It helps protect skin from oxidative stress, keeps it hydrated and toned, and supports the skin's natural renewal for a visibly brighter look.

Yes, sea buckthorn is ideal for improving the appearance of dull, tired skin. Its revitalizing blend of vitamins, fatty acids, and antioxidants supports hydration, tone, and visible brightness.

They are complementary antioxidants: green tea's polyphenols focus on defending against environmental stress and preserving barrier balance, while sea buckthorn adds vitamins, fatty acids, and revitalizing brightness. Together they cover both protection and visible radiance.

Sea buckthorn's connection to the Himalayan Valley zone comes through The Nine Aurora's research, where the botanical profile of the zone was mapped. The plant itself thrives naturally at high altitudes, which is part of why it is associated with this territory.

Green tea and sea buckthorn are formulated within the collection's 39 zone botanicals and 67 functional actives — 106 ingredients in total, 92% of natural origin across the range. They bring the zone's antioxidant, recovery-focused character to clinically tested, refillable formulas.

These ingredients suit dull, tired, environmentally stressed, and sensitive skin. Green tea protects and balances delicate complexions, while sea buckthorn revitalizes skin that has lost brightness and tone.
