Defiance Moisturizer 30g
C$50.00
At Santa Mia, Defiance is not rebellion—it is return.
A return to yourself.
A return to the truth that aging is not diminishment, but initiation.
This moisturizer invites you to step out of the story the world wrote for you and step into your own.
It nourishes skin the way wisdom nourishes a life: deeply, intentionally, and without apology.
Defiance Moisturizer is a dense, nutrient-rich, skin-awakening formula crafted to restore luminosity, firmness, and hydration.
A blend of botanical extracts, bio-mimetic emollients, multi-weight hyaluronic acids, and barrier-fortifying actives work together to bring forward a complexion that reflects your inner fire:
healthy, hydrated, radiant, alive.
This is skincare as self-reclamation.
Every jar carries the quiet, powerful invitation to ask yourself:
What part of me am I ready to celebrate today?

Key Ingredients
Niacinamide (Vitamin B3)

Olive Squalane
A biomimetic lipid that mimics the skin’s own oils, restoring suppleness and preventing moisture loss.
Hyaluronic Acid (High + Low Molecular Weight)
Dual-action hydration: HMW plumps the surface, LMW supports deeper hydration and smoothness.
Tremella Fuciformis (Snow Mushroom) Extract
A natural humectant that retains up to 500x its weight in water, supporting long-lasting hydration and bounce.
Rosa Canina (Rosehip) Seed Oil & Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil

Allantoin & Althaea Officinalis (Marshmallow) Root Extract

How it Supports Your Skin
Defiance Moisturizer combines hydration, barrier support, and revitalization in a single, skin-loving formula.
- Hydrates deeply with tremella extract and multi-weight hyaluronic acid to draw moisture across multiple layers of the skin.
- Strengthens the moisture barrier with niacinamide, olive squalane, jojoba, and shea.
- Improves visible firmness & fine lines with bakuchiol, known to mimic the effects of retinol—naturally.
- Protects against environmental stressors with antioxidants and botanical extracts like frankincense, rosehip, and marshmallow root.
- Supports skin texture & radiance through allantoin, lactic acid (gentle refinement), and silk amino acids.
The result?
Skin that feels supported, supple, luminous—and unmistakably yours.
Recommendations for Use
Apply a dime-sized amount to cleansed, toned skin.
Massage gently in upward motions, pausing as it sinks in.
Ritual suggestion:
As you apply, ask yourself:
What quality in me wants to be seen today?
If layering:
- Serum
- Facial oil (optional)
- Defiance Moisturizer
Stop massaging once the moisturizer begins to dry to avoid disrupting the humectants and protective lipids forming your moisture barrier.
