History

As a girl, Sunday Riley had a fascination with skincare, one that she inherited from her family. Early pioneers in what is now Texas, Riley’s family learned how to use Native American botanicals to care for their skin and made sure to pass their learnings down through the generations. Instructed by her grandmother, Riley was taught the reparative secrets of indigeous plants, flowers, and fruits. Years later, she brought her botanical know-how to the lab and created NV-5 Ageless Complex. This super-potent proprietary combo of blue agave, Lady’s Slipper orchid, and other natural ingredients detoxifies skin cells, regenerates skin and helps reduce inflammation that causes premature signs of aging. Riley uses NV-5 Ageless Complex as the first ingredient in almost every product in her collection.

Philosophy

A smart, simple formula governs this line: detoxification plus a mix of powerful anti-aging actives equals glowing skin.

Birchbox Extra

Sunday Riley always pays attention to detail: the company makes sure to buy active ingredients with at least 99 percent purity and triple-checks for purity before adding them to products. The line also utilizes only the maximum concentrations of active ingredients, meaning that you actually reap the full benefits of the anti-aging technologies they tout.
