Plant-derived formulas built on decades of botanical research. No compromise. No filler. Just skin that works.
We started Ceda because we were tired of choosing between effective and gentle. Between science and nature. Between a formula that worked and one you could pronounce.
Lea & Priya, FoundersSix months with the Restore Collection. In their own words.
Six months in. My skin stopped fighting me.
I didn't expect a serum to change how I feel in the morning.
The oil was the last thing I tried. It was the only thing that worked.
Harvested from sustainably managed Atlas cedar forests in Morocco's Middle Atlas Mountains, our proprietary Cedar Extract 3X undergoes a 72-hour cold-maceration process that preserves the full spectrum of its polyphenol and sesquiterpene compounds.
The result is a stabilized active shown in independent in-vitro studies to inhibit MMP-1 enzyme activity by up to 34% — the primary enzyme responsible for collagen degradation in UV-stressed skin.
"We spent three seasons adjusting the maceration timing before Cedar Extract 3X performed the way we needed it to."
— Priya Mehta, Head Botanist34% MMP-1 inhibition. 72-hour cold maceration. Proprietary third-generation extraction.
Begin with damp skin. Apply three pumps of the Gentle Micellar Cleanse using upward circular motions. Rinse with cool water.
While skin is still slightly damp, press 3–4 drops of Restore Serum onto forehead, cheeks, and chin. Cedar-derived actives absorb optimally at 78% hydration.
Follow immediately with Barrier Cream. Two fingertips across the full face. Do not rub — press gently to seal the serum layer and lock in actives.
Morning only: finish with Cedar Facial Oil. One pump warmed between palms, pressed over Barrier Cream for a lit-from-within finish.
"I've tried every 'clean' serum on the market. Nothing has moved the needle on my redness the way the Restore Serum has. After six weeks: fewer red patches, smoother texture, and it actually layers under makeup without pilling."
"The Bakuchiol Night Balm is the first retinol-alternative that doesn't feel like a compromise. Rich but not heavy. I woke up with skin that looked like it had been on a wellness retreat."
