Benefits
To address puffiness, we employed green coffee bean oil and andiroba oil. For dark under-eye circles: green coffee bean oil and andiroba oil. To firm: seabuckthorn berry, rosehip oil, and andiroba. For skin tissue healing: tamanu. To contribute phytonutrients and vitamins: green coffee oil, amaranth oil, passionfruit oil, rosehip oil, and seabuckthorn berry. For collagen rebuilding: andiroba oil. For brightening: rosehip oil, seabuckthorn berry, and passionfruit oil. To address dryness: Brazil nut oil. To contribute a dose of precious lauric acid: murumuru butter. And to penetrate into deep layers of the skin: amaranth, tamanu, and murumuru.
Amaranth oil was Ava's first choice for this serum for a range of reasons. It is very high in proteins (13%), linoleic acid (49%; extremely important for youthful, wrinkle-free, and acne-free skin, and to heal skin immune disorders such as psoriasis, dermatitis, and eczema), and in squalene (8–12%). Squalene is studied for its effects on signs of aging such as wrinkles, including deep ones, thanks in part to its ability to penetrate very deeply. Our squalene is not a lab-isolated, potentially allergenic ingredient, but a natural part of unrefined amaranth oil.
Amaranth was a sacred grain to the Aztecs and other ancient cultures, revered it for its nutritional value and spiritual healing. Ava sees amaranth as an herb that enables us to surrender to the natural course of events, such as aging. Once we surrender, we are able to relax inwardly and this state of complete self-acceptance, no matter what one's age, will make the person more beautiful, as so much beauty comes from the inner states of calm, composure, confidence, and contentment. 
Murumuru butter pressed from the seeds of a palm tree native to the Amazon region (Astrocaryum murumuru), melts instantly on contact with the skin, smells of earth mixed with brown sugar, and contains several amazing nourishing ingredients such as oleic, lauric, and myristic acids. It is lightweight, noncomedogenic, and spreads easily (important on the eye area so we don't have to do any pulling or rubbing).
Each finished batch of Passion Eye Serum is infused with healing-grade gems—raw lapis lazuli, ruby, and Brazilian clear quartz—and then placed in our Pacific Northwest ponderosa pine forest to be charged by earth and moderate sun. Lapis lazuli is cooling and anti-inflammatory, clears mental exhaustion and clutter, and enhances mental clarity. Ruby is skin rejuvenating and it enhances the healing vibrations of the other botanicals and essences in the product, and clear quartz is universally cleansing and detoxifying. 
Limited Edition: Passion Eye Serum + Chevron Amethyst with Smokey Quartz
Passion Serum was formulated to have a complex energetic impact on the attuned user. It empowers, clears the mind's clutter, and at once it relaxes. Something about this serum just says purple, and purple amethyst seems a perfect match for it. 
Amethyst is a variety of quartz that can be a paler or deeper purple, or even gray-pink. Its energy calms the nerves and eases anxiety, and this stone enhances our connection with the inner self and with the spiritual realm. It is a key stone for improving psychic and other intuitive faculties. Amethyst may form naturally in conjunction with other minerals, and what we are offering here are pieces that are a combination of amethyst (the dark purple specimen with clear white zigzag lines is called chevron amethyst and comes from Madagascar) and smokey quartz. Smokey quartz is renowned for its grounding and cleansing properties. It absorbs negative, unhealthy or unwanted, energies from the environment or the wearer. You may purchase your amethyst-smokey quartz of choice in a set with a Passion Eye Serum 0.5 fl oz.
We recommend carrying your amethyst along with you or keeping it in your living space. Store the gem in a dry place. To cleanse it periodically, place it in raw sea salt for a few hours. To charge it, place it in nature under the sun or full moon for several hours. Avoid contact with water.

Directions
Apply Passion under the eyes morning and night. To use as an eye-area mask: apply a more generous amount under eyes and in outer corners; gently wipe off excess, if any remains unabsorbed, after 30 minutes. For additional firming and strong de-puffing benefits, and if your skin can tolerate carrot seed oil under the eyes, use Resiliency Face Serum as Step 1 and Passion as Step 2. If your under-eye area is very dry or needs extra nourishment, for daytime, use Passion alone and for the night use Passion as Step 1 and then Ferns and Moss Face Serum or Magical Babassu Face Oil as Step 2 (choose Ferns and Moss if skin is mature or dark circles or puffiness are a problem; choose Magical Babassu if dryness or eczema are the biggest concerns).For daytime or anytime, if you want an eye care product that absorbs quickly and completely without a protective film, choose Resiliency Face Serum instead of Passion. 
Freshness guaranteed for 6 months. Full size 15 ml (0.5 fl oz); travel/sample size 5 ml (0.17 fl oz).
Due to the very high cost of our ingredients and the labor-intensive (highly time consuming) small-batch production process, we are unable to accept returns of opened or unopened products at this time. But most products have a sample size option for purchase, so we encourage you to buy a sample first to ensure that the product suits your skin's needs and that you enjoy the texture, fragrance, and healing properties.
