Senolytic Balm

Description

Marie Veronique Senolytic Balm is a rich, lipid-dense moisturizer created for dry, mature, and depleted-feeling skin. Designed as the final step in a skincare routine, this enveloping balm provides a deeply nourishing layer of moisture with a cushiony, luxurious texture. It melts beautifully into the skin, leaving the complexion feeling supple, soft, and comfortably moisturized with a luminous-looking finish.

Fisetin, resveratrol, coenzyme Q10, and an oil-soluble form of vitamin C come together in a concentrated botanical formula, complemented by a blend of nutrient-rich plant lipids. The rich balm texture creates a comforting finishing layer that leaves dry skin feeling conditioned and replenished. With its velvety finish and concentrated feel, it brings a luxurious final step to any evening skincare routine.

HOW TO USE IT

As the final step in the evening, apply a generous, pea-sized amount to the face, neck, and chest. Gently massage any excess around the eye contour, avoiding the lash line and eyelids. Ideal for normal, dry, or mature skin.

ABOUT THIS BRAND

Marie Veronique is a California-based skincare brand specializing in small-batch, microbiome-friendly formulations that support long-term skin health. Founded in 2002 and headquartered in Berkeley, Marie Veronique combines multidisciplinary research with a commitment to clean chemistry, offering topical solutions for all skin types and tones. With a particular emphasis on the science of age delay, the brand creates products that address a range of skin conditions—including dryness, congestion, and sensitivity—by working with, not against, the skin’s natural intelligence.

The brand was founded by Marie-Veronique Nadeau, a former chemistry teacher and licensed esthetician, whose passion for skin health grew out of a personal search for better aging solutions. Today, the brand is recognized for its evidence-led formulations, thoughtful ingredient sourcing, and transparent production practices. All products are made in-house at their Berkeley lab, ensuring freshness, efficacy, and integrity at every step. Marie Veronique also prioritizes sustainability by using recyclable packaging, minimizing waste in production, and supporting suppliers who share their commitment to environmental responsibility. As a woman-founded and woman-led company, Marie Veronique also champions equity and access by supporting initiatives that empower underrepresented voices in science and wellness.
