Radiance Lux Day Cream by Skin Theorie — an antioxidant day cream with native lilly pilly, Australian-made

What it is.

Lilly pilly is a native Australian fruit that grows on coastal rainforest trees along the country's eastern edge. Small, bright, and faintly tart, it has been eaten and used by Indigenous communities for thousands of years.

In skincare, lilly pilly is valued for a dense antioxidant profile — vitamin C and anthocyanins among them — alongside gentle, naturally occurring fruit acids that help condition the surface of the skin.

It is a conditioning, brightening botanical. Considered, not aggressive.

What it does.

Antioxidant protection

Lilly pilly's vitamin C and anthocyanins help defend the skin against the free radicals generated by sun, pollution, and environmental stress.

Supports a smooth, even surface

The fruit's naturally occurring acids gently condition the surface of the skin, supporting a smoother, more refined texture over time.

Conditions and brightens

Lilly pilly leaves skin feeling soft and looking conditioned, contributing to a healthy, natural radiance — not surface shine.

Gentle and well-tolerated

As a botanical extract delivered in a considered formulation, lilly pilly suits most skin types, including skin that prefers to avoid stronger actives.

Who it's for.

Dull or uneven skin seeking gentle brightness. Skin that wants antioxidant protection without a strong active. Sensitive skin that responds well to botanical formulations. Anyone building a calm, considered daytime routine.

In the range.

Radiance Lux Day Cream — lilly pilly is paired with green tea, pomegranate, hyaluronic acid, and vitamin E. A lightweight day cream that hydrates, defends against daily environmental stress, and leaves a naturally luminous finish.
