Vivát | Triple Complex Vital Balm

Vivát (Latin for “May She Live”) — a modern, retinoid-based night balm designed to support comfort, clarity, and quiet renewal.

A Modern Balm-Serum for Gentle Renewal

Vivát reimagines what a retinoid treatment can be.

Created for those who want the benefits of vitamin A without the harshness of tradition retinol, this balm blends an intelligent trio of retinoid esters, botanical analogs, and advanced lipids inside a cushiony, soft-melt base.
It absorbs beautifully into damp skin, leaving a velvety, conditioned finish — not greasy, not waxy, not heavy.

The result is a pro-aging night formula that feels restorative rather than aggressive.
Heritage seed oils and CO₂ extracts work in tandem with HPR, retinyl linoleate, and plant-derived retinoid analogs to support the appearance of smoother, more balanced skin over time.

Vivát is a balm that honors the skin’s natural rhythms — refining gently, replenishing deeply, and encouraging visible vitality without overwhelming the barrier.

Why Vivát Works

Traditional retinoid products lean on intensity. Vivát leans on intelligence — using a balanced architecture of lipid-compatible actives inside a comfort-focused, barrier-supportive base.

A Triple Retinoid Complex

Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate (HPR), Retinyl Linoleate, and plant-derived retinoid analogs work together to encourage a smoother, more refined look with lower sensitivity potential.

Heritage Oils for Deep Comfort

Prickly pear, Kalahari melon, amaranth, cloudberry, and tamanu offer lipid replenishment that helps the skin feel settled and well-nourished.

Modern Botanicals + Antioxidants

CoQ10, pterostilbene, fermented plant extracts, and lupin-derived lupeol support the feel of elasticity and vibrancy.

Butters, Esters, and Sensory Design

A modern ester-butter system melts on contact, avoiding the heaviness typical of traditional balms.

Vivát is a retinoid balm for people who value results and comfort — refinement guided by respect for the skin.

Aroma Designed With Intention

At Elixir Sapientia, scent is part of care — subtle, grounding, and always respectful.

Vivát carries a quiet botanical aroma:

• Jasmine for soft floral calm

• Vanilla for gentle warmth

• Amber and oud nuances for depth and serenity

It’s understated, elegant, and designed to elevate the moment of night care without overwhelming the senses.

Vivát — “Live”

Every Elixir Sapientia formula begins with a philosophical anchor.
For this balm, we chose Vivát — the Latin imperative for “Live.”

It reflects the heart of this formulation:

• It does not chase intensity; it cultivates steadiness.

• It does not force transformation; it supports renewal.

• It does not work against the skin; it works with it.

Vivát is a balm for those who believe that the most meaningful skincare is care that is thoughtful, patient, and beautiful.
