Regenerate the Way You Think About Care

A retinol serum can have a botanical story, too. Look past the headline on Regenerate and you will find organic aloe, seed oils and shea butter—ingredients that give this formula a connection to the natural world and a reason to look a little closer.

La Colibri grew around a purpose we wanted to be proud of: an ethical skincare project that invited people to rethink their everyday choices. We developed the RE as a rethink, a kind of redo. With Regenerate, that invitation is to consider the whole formula, not only the ingredient that gets the most attention.

Retinol is a form of vitamin A. In skin, it can be converted through a series of steps into retinoic acid, a molecule involved in signaling that helps regulate skin-cell activity. That biology is why retinol has earned a place in skincare research. Regenerate lists both retinol and retinyl palmitate, another vitamin A form, alongside its botanical ingredients.

Organic safflower and sunflower oils come from plant seeds. Organic jojoba oil comes from jojoba seeds, though its structure makes it a liquid wax rather than a typical plant oil. These emollient ingredients contribute softness and help smooth the feel of the skin’s surface. They bring the seed-to-skincare connection into the formula in a practical way.

Organic shea butter adds richness from the kernels of the shea tree. As an emollient, it contributes a conditioned, supple feel. Organic aloe leaf juice brings moisturizing character from the fleshy leaves of the aloe plant, while sodium hyaluronate helps attract and hold water. Different ingredients are doing different jobs: the oils and butter focus on surface softness, while water-loving ingredients support hydration.

That combination is the part of the story we want you to notice. Regenerate puts vitamin A ingredients in a formula that also makes room for botanical conditioning and moisture. There is something satisfying about knowing why those ingredients belong together, instead of choosing a serum from one word on the front.

The values behind your choice belong in that conversation as well. Regenerate is vegan, cruelty-free and made in the USA. Its individually identified organic ingredients include safflower oil, aloe leaf juice, jojoba oil and shea butter. The bottle contains 0.5 fl oz / 15 mL, with a pump for your serum step.
