Clear Face, Clear Life
Advanced Botanical Care for Clearer, More Balanced-Looking Skin
For blemish-prone, oily, congested, or uneven-looking skin that needs more than another drying or surface-focused product.
Clear Face, Clear Life was created around a different idea: skin that looks congested or blemish-prone doesn't simply need to be stripped of oil. It needs thoughtful care that considers the skin barrier, hydration, botanical nourishment, and the appearance of clarity and balance together.
The formula combines Ætherbal’s patent-pending topical delivery platform—designed around the challenges of moving beneficial ingredients beyond the skin’s outer surface—with a carefully curated group of botanical oils and whole-plant extracts selected specifically for troubled-looking skin.
At the foundation is Orthosilicic Acid (OSA), the water-soluble form of silicon used throughout Ætherbal’s delivery technology. The molecular size of key components in our delivery platform is specifically selected with the skin barrier in mind, while our amphiphilic system accommodates both water- and oil-compatible compounds. This gives us a more sophisticated way to formulate botanicals than simply suspending them in a conventional cream or facial oil.
Then we built the botanical formula around the needs of blemish-prone and unbalanced-looking skin. Tamanu, Borage, Rosehip, Green Tea, Burdock, Goldenseal, Neem, Turmeric, St. John’s Wort, Frankincense, and Myrrh weren't selected because they happen to be popular beauty ingredients. They were deliberately combined for complementary roles in clarity, balance, visible redness, texture, nourishment, and overall skin appearance.
A delivery platform designed with the skin barrier in mind + carefully selected botanical medicine + a formula built specifically for clearer-looking skin.
Clear Face, Clear Life doesn't wage war on your skin.
It takes better care of it.
✨ What Makes Clear Face, Clear Life Different?
The beauty industry has no shortage of products for blemish-prone skin. Many focus heavily on exfoliating, drying, or removing oil.
Clear Face, Clear Life takes another approach.
Designed for clarity without forgetting the skin barrier
Oily or blemish-prone skin still needs hydration and appropriate botanical lipids. The goal isn't to leave your face feeling stripped. It is to support skin that looks clearer, calmer, and more balanced.
OSA at the foundation
Orthosilicic Acid is the water-soluble form of silicon at the foundation of Ætherbal’s topical platform. Silicon's biological relationship with connective tissue and collagen makes it particularly interesting in the way we think about skin formulation.
Designed with topical delivery in mind
Skin is a barrier. We formulate accordingly. Molecular characteristics, water and oil compatibility, and the delivery environment are considered as part of the formula rather than treating them as an afterthought.
Whole plants—not one trendy hero ingredient
Instead of building the product around a single fashionable extract, we selected botanicals with complementary roles. Tamanu does something different from Green Tea. Borage isn't Rosehip. Burdock isn't Neem. The complexity is intentional.
Both water- and oil-compatible compounds
Whole plants contain chemically diverse constituents. Ætherbal’s patent-pending amphiphilic delivery system was designed around both water- and oil-compatible environments so we can formulate with that complexity in mind.
Clearer-looking skin shouldn't have to mean angry-looking skin.
🌿 Why These Botanicals?
Every major botanical has a reason for being here.
- Borage — Lipid-rich nourishment; supports balanced-feeling skin
- Tamanu — Visible skin renewal; uneven-looking texture
- St. John’s Wort — Sensitive-looking skin; botanical skin support
- Rosehip — Visible marks and texture; skin renewal
- Green Tea — Antioxidant support; stressed-looking skin
- Goldenseal — Traditional clarifying herb; blemish-prone skin
- Burdock Root — Traditional skin herb; congested-looking skin
- Neem — Traditional clarifying botanical; blemish-prone skin
- Turmeric — Visible redness; uneven-looking skin
- Aloe — Hydration; soothing skin feel
- Frankincense — Visible texture; refined botanical skin care
- Myrrh — Conditioning; traditional skin-care botanical
- Hyaluronic Acid — Hydration; smoother, plumper-looking skin
- Orthosilicic Acid — Water-soluble silicon; foundation of Ætherbal’s delivery technology
Rather than asking one aggressive ingredient to do everything, Clear Face, Clear Life brings together botanicals that address the appearance of troubled skin from several complementary directions.
Clarify. Balance. Hydrate. Nourish. Renew.
Ideal For
Clear Face, Clear Life was created for skin that appears:
Blemish-prone • Oily • Congested • Uneven • Red-looking • Stressed • Dull • Out of balance
It is particularly well suited to people who want a clearer-looking complexion without making harsh, drying skin care the center of their routine.
Suggested Use
Apply a small amount to clean facial skin and gently smooth until absorbed.
Use morning, evening, or according to your skin's needs. It can be used across the face or concentrated in areas where blemishes, congestion, visible redness, or uneven-looking texture are most noticeable.
If using Clear Face, Clear Life with other Ætherbal beauty formulas, apply it before richer oil-based products such as Radiant Skin Renewal.
For external use only. Avoid direct contact with the eyes and mucous membranes. Discontinue use if irritation occurs.
✨ What to Expect
Clear Face, Clear Life is lightweight and designed to absorb without leaving the skin coated in a heavy cream.
Borage, Tamanu, St. John’s Wort, and Rosehip provide botanical lipids, while Aloe and Hyaluronic Acid contribute to the hydrated skin feel.
Its aroma comes from the botanicals themselves. Grapefruit provides brightness alongside the more herbaceous character of Neem and Turmeric and the aromatic depth of Lavender, Frankincense, and Myrrh.
The result is skin that feels lightly moisturized, conditioned, refreshed, and cared for rather than stripped.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Clear Face, Clear Life an acne treatment?
No. Clear Face, Clear Life is a cosmetic botanical skin-care formula created for blemish-prone, oily, congested, and uneven-looking skin. It is not an acne drug and isn't intended to diagnose or treat acne.
Why put oils on blemish-prone or oily skin?
Because “oil” is not a single ingredient and blemish-prone skin still needs appropriate skin conditioning.
Rather than relying on a heavy cream base, we use deliberately selected botanical oils such as Borage, Tamanu, St. John’s Wort, and Rosehip as part of a broader water-and-oil-compatible formula.
The goal is not to coat the skin in oil. It is to provide botanical lipids alongside hydration and whole-plant extracts without relying on aggressive stripping as the primary strategy.
What makes Clear Face, Clear Life different from other products for blemish-prone skin?
The difference is both what we selected and how we formulated it.
Instead of building the product around one acid, one extract, or one trendy hero ingredient, Clear Face, Clear Life combines numerous complementary botanicals with Orthosilicic Acid, Hyaluronic Acid, Aloe, Fulvic Acid, and Ætherbal’s patent-pending amphiphilic delivery platform.
We designed the formula around the complexity of the skin and the complexity of the plants.
Why is Orthosilicic Acid included?
Orthosilicic Acid is the water-soluble form of silicon used at the foundation of Ætherbal’s topical technology.
Silicon's biological relationship with collagen and connective tissue makes it particularly interesting in skin formulation, while OSA's physical characteristics also make it well suited to the delivery architecture we developed.
It isn't simply another ingredient added to the label. It is part of the platform on which the formula is built.
Will Clear Face, Clear Life dry out my skin?
It wasn't designed around that approach.
Clear Face, Clear Life contains botanical oils, Hyaluronic Acid, Aloe, and other skin-conditioning ingredients because our goal is clearer-looking, balanced skin—not simply skin that feels stripped of oil.
Individual skin responses vary, so discontinue use if irritation or excessive dryness develops.
How is this different from Radiant Skin Renewal?
They have very different priorities.
Clear Face, Clear Life — “My skin needs clarity and balance.”
Radiant Skin Renewal — “My skin needs nourishment, softness, and glow.”
For someone who wants both, Clear Face, Clear Life can be applied first, followed by a small amount of Radiant Skin Renewal for additional botanical nourishment.
The Science Behind Our Patent-Pending Delivery System
Skin is designed to keep things out. That makes topical delivery a formulation challenge—and it is one we considered from the beginning.
Ætherbal’s patent-pending delivery system was developed around two important factors: molecular size and the need to accommodate both water- and oil-compatible compounds.
Orthosilicic Acid has a molecular mass of approximately 96 Daltons. Research in skin-permeation science commonly references an approximately 500-Dalton guideline, with smaller molecules generally having greater potential for passive penetration than larger molecules, although size is only one of several factors that determine skin permeation.
Our system also incorporates Hyaluronic Acid selected at different molecular weights. Research on low-molecular-weight Hyaluronic Acid has demonstrated movement beyond the stratum corneum under experimental conditions, while higher-molecular-weight forms are predominantly retained closer to the surface. This is why molecular weight matters to us when selecting Hyaluronic Acid rather than treating every form as equivalent.
Then there is the botanical chemistry.
Clear Face, Clear Life combines lipid-compatible botanical oils with water-compatible components and chemically diverse whole-plant extracts. Ætherbal’s amphiphilic architecture was designed around both hydrophilic and lipophilic environments, creating a vehicle designed with that complexity in mind.
Controlled permeation testing of the finished Clear Face, Clear Life formula has not yet established the penetration depth, flux, or skin retention of its individual botanical constituents. Our delivery architecture represents the scientific rationale behind the formulation rather than proof that every botanical constituent reaches a particular depth.
Delivery isn't an afterthought. It is part of the formula.
✨ Clearer-Looking Skin, Formulated Differently.
Blemish-prone skin doesn't need to be punished.
It needs intelligent care.
Orthosilicic Acid. Molecular-weight-conscious Hyaluronic Acid. Purposefully selected botanical oils. Whole-plant extracts. Water- and oil-compatible phases. And an herbalist selecting ingredients for complementary roles rather than following a beauty trend.
We didn't formulate Clear Face, Clear Life to fight your skin. We formulated it to work more thoughtfully with it.
Clarify. Balance. Nourish. Let clearer-looking skin emerge.
