A radiant offering from the northern wilds, Arctic-C is where botanical intelligence meets scientific precision. This potent, waterless serum features 10% stabilized vitamin C - sourced from Japan and revered for its skin-renewing efficacy - infused with Root Science’s signature Nordic Antioxidant Complex™, a synergy of four botanical actives - astaxanthin, sea buckthorn, arctic oat, and black currant - sourced from the Nordic countries of Iceland and Finland to protect, correct, nourish, and calm...and infuse skin with resilience and vitality. Together, they create a brightening elixir that visibly brightens dark spots, evens tone, and infuses skin with a luminous clarity. Each drop delivers a silken veil of nourishment: helping to smooth fine lines, protect against environmental stressors, and awaken the skin’s natural brilliance.

Root Science is the heartwork of Gígja Valdísardóttir, born from the wild, elemental landscapes of Iceland and shaped by a deeply personal journey of loss, resilience, and devotion. After the passing of her mother to cancer at a young age, Gígja became fiercely committed to a life of health and integrity: seeking out not just what we put in our bodies, but what we use on our skin. What began as a search for healing solutions for her sister’s painful skin conditions evolved into a mission: to uncover the most potent, non-toxic botanicals capable of delivering transformative results without compromise. With a blend of Icelandic inspiration, years of meticulous research, and a refusal to settle for less than pure, effective care, Root Science was born. Every formula is a tribute...to family, to nature, and to the quiet power of returning to the roots. Gígja’s story lives in every bottle, an offering of nourishment, protection, and reverence for the skin and the soul.
