For Firmness & Structure.
MESI is a decadently rich balm concentrate with highly efficient botanical actives. It melts into the skin, filling fine lines, enhancing volume, definition, and glow. The skin feels smoother, fuller and deeply nourished.
MESI unites olive and myrtle leaf extracts with propolis extract. They soften wrinkle architecture while supporting dermal remodelling and epidermal renewal. Propolis stimulates collagen and offers strong antioxidant, antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory protection.
Cold-pressed borage seed oil, raspberry seed oil, protective beeswax and CO₂-extracted sea buckthorn berry oil provide essential fatty acids, carotenoids and barrier-strengthening lipids for longevity and glowy, gorgeous ageing.
In Finnish, “mesi” refers to honey and nectar – the sweet richness drawn from blossoms and refined by bees. A powerful alchemy between two kingdoms, the floral and the winged. It ripens slowly, gathering depth and potency. Just like feminine energy, growing and becoming more dimensional with age. MESI honours this sovereign patience, where beauty is not diminished by time but concentrated into strength and luminous allure.
RAW INGREDIENTS:
Concentrate of myrtle and olive leaves
Innovative oil-based active concentrate derived from sustainably sourced myrtle and olive leaves grown in the Mediterranean region. Rich in naturally occurring phytosides, including oleuropein and myricitrin, it helps protect the skin from oxidative stress while supporting its natural renewal processes. Ex vivo studies have shown that it activates key biological pathways involved in skin regeneration, including epidermal renewal, dermal remodeling, and cellular defense mechanisms. By supporting collagen-rich extracellular matrix production and improving skin structure, it helps reduce the appearance of wrinkles, smooth skin texture, and promote a firmer, more resilient complexion. Clinical studies have demonstrated visible improvements in skin roughness and wrinkle appearance after regular use.
Propolis
Derived from French propolis using a patented eco-extraction process that preserves its naturally occurring bioactive compounds. Rich in polyphenols, flavonoids, vitamins, and antioxidant molecules, it helps protect the skin from oxidative stress while supporting a healthy skin environment. Studies have shown that the extract exhibits strong antioxidant activity and helps defend the skin against photo-induced oxidative damage. It has also been shown to stimulate collagen I synthesis, supporting skin density, firmness, and resilience. Clinical studies demonstrated visible improvements in skin smoothness, wrinkle appearance, and overall skin texture after regular use. In addition to its antioxidant benefits, propolis is valued for its purifying and skin-soothing properties.
Borage seed oil
Borage seed oil is a powerful oil for dry, thin, sensitive and ageing skin. Borage seed oil contains omega-3, -6 and -9 fatty acids, and is particularly rich in gamma-linolenic acid (20%), one of the omega-6 fatty acids, which has soothing and anti-inflammatory effects. In addition, it rejuvenates the skin and strengthens its protective barrier. Borage seed oil also contains plenty of vitamin E. The oil helps the skin to maintain elasticity, firmness and fullness.
Raspberry seed oil
Raspberry seed oil is rich in essential fatty acids, including omega-3 and omega-6, which help strengthen the skin barrier, reduce inflammation, and support healthy collagen production. Naturally rich in vitamin E, it protects the skin from free radical damage, improves elasticity and firmness, and helps soften the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Seabuckthorn berry CO₂ extract
Sea buckthorn berry CO₂ extract is rich in vitamin E, carotenoids and omega -3, -6, -9 and -7 fatty acids in an ideal ratio for the skin. The extract soothes inflammations and irritations, helps with impurities and balances sebum production. Sea buckthorn extract nourishes all skin types, brightens dull and tired skin, and soothes many skin imbalances. High content of beta-carotene gives the extract a warm orange hue, which brings a healthy glow to the skin. Carbon-dioxide (CO₂) extraction is a gentle extraction method that preserves even the plant’s most delicate compounds. The result is a very high-quality and potent active ingredient. The amount of fatty acids in the sea buckthorn berry extract used in Yin Your Skin products is standardized.
Beeswax
Beeswax is a natural wax produced by honeybees and carefully purified to remove impurities while preserving its characteristic honey-like scent. Widely used in skincare, it helps create rich, protective textures in balms, creams, and ointments while supporting the skin’s moisture balance. Beeswax forms a breathable barrier on the skin that helps reduce moisture loss without clogging pores. Naturally gentle and well tolerated, it is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin.
