Hydration Heroes: The Best Ingredients for Summer Skin
As the days grow warmer and the sun lingers longer, your skin deserves a little extra care. Summer skincare is all about hydration, protection, and supporting the skin’s natural barrier—without feeling heavy or greasy. At Flânerie, our formulations are rooted in botanical science, thoughtfully designed to nourish and hydrate the skin in every season. Here, we spotlight five powerful ingredients perfect for summer skin, and the standout products that deliver them.
Hyaluronic Acid – Deep, Lasting Hydration
Hyaluronic Acid is a cornerstone of any summer skincare routine. This moisture-binding ingredient helps retain water in the skin, keeping it plump, smooth, and radiant even in the driest conditions. Our Brightening Eye Cream is infused with hyaluronic acid to hydrate and refresh the delicate under-eye area, reducing the appearance of fine lines and leaving skin looking awake and revitalised. It’s a perfect addition to your morning ritual, especially during warmer months when the skin tends to lose moisture more rapidly.
Sugar Maple Extract – Natural Exfoliation and Glow
A natural source of alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), sugar maple extract gently exfoliates the skin, helping to remove dull surface cells while promoting a healthy glow. In our Replenishing Duo Moisturiser, sugar maple works alongside other botanical ingredients to boost radiance, hydrate deeply, and support cell renewal. The result is fresh, luminous skin that feels balanced and breathable—ideal for sunny days and light, dewy finishes.
Glycerin – Everyday Hydration for All Skin Types
Known for its ability to draw moisture into the skin, glycerin is a hero ingredient that suits all skin types, especially in summer when hydration loss is common. Our Revitalising Micellar Water features glycerin to ensure your skin stays hydrated, even after cleansing. It gently removes impurities and makeup without stripping the skin, making it a summer essential for both morning and evening routines.
Red Algae – Strengthen and Soothe the Skin Barrier
Red algae is a nutrient-rich marine extract that helps improve skin elasticity and enhance moisture retention. It’s also packed with antioxidants that protect the skin from environmental stressors like pollution and UV exposure. You’ll find red algae at the heart of our Resurfacing Overnight Moisturiser, where it works overnight to repair, replenish, and reinforce the skin barrier—making it an ideal treatment after long days in the sun.
Cupuacu Butter – Body Hydration with a Silky Touch
Summer isn’t just about facial skincare—your body needs hydration too. Cupuacu butter is a luxurious, plant-derived emollient that deeply nourishes and softens the skin without feeling heavy. Our Firming Body Moisturiser harnesses the power of cupuacu butter to smooth and hydrate, while supporting skin elasticity. It’s the perfect post-shower treat after a day outdoors, leaving your skin velvety soft and subtly scented.

With the right ingredients and thoughtfully formulated products, summer skincare can be both effective and indulgent. From the hydrating power of hyaluronic acid to the soothing strength of red algae, Flânerie’s range offers everything your skin needs to stay radiant and replenished all season long.
