YANNARA Oil Serums

Precision Formulated Facial Oil Serums

Three serums. Three finishes. A more precise match for your skin.

Botanical oils and oil-soluble actives, composed for oil-prone or combination, dry or barrier-depleted, and dull or uneven-looking skin.

Nine questions — your skin pattern, and the serum that fits it, if one does.

Why YANNARA Facial Oil Serums

Three Distinct Finishes

Dry Oil, Glow Serum, and Matte Veil are designed to feel and wear differently on skin.

Formulator-Led Development

Developed in-house by a biology-trained cosmetic formulator and member of the Society of Cosmetic Chemists.

Made in Texas

Produced by LikhaBio CosmaLab using YANNARA’s controlled small-batch manufacturing process.

Documented Small Batches

Formula, production, and stability records are maintained for every batch.

The YANNARA Formulation Method

Four Layers. One Complete Formula.

Every YANNARA facial oil serum is developed through four connected layers. Together, they shape its botanical identity, structural foundation, targeted purpose, and sensory finish.

01

DNA Fingerprint Oils

Pili, moringa, and elemi establish the botanical signature shared across YANNARA.

02

Formula Architecture

The structural oil system is selected according to the serum’s skin pattern and formulation priority.

03

Targeted Active System

Oil-soluble actives are chosen for purpose, compatibility, stability, and their role within the complete formula.

04

Sensory Engineering

The formula is fine-tuned for glide, absorption, cushion, afterfeel, and its intended texture archetype.

The four layers work together so that every serum feels purposeful, complete, and recognizably YANNARA.

Explore the YANNARA Approach
Philippine Botanicals, Formulated With Purpose

The Botanicals at the Heart of YANNARA

Pili, moringa, and elemi are the Philippine botanicals at the heart of YANNARA. Together, they help shape each serum’s signature character, from the way it spreads and settles to the way it feels on skin.

Each is used within a broader formulation system and balanced according to the purpose and intended finish of the serum.

Pili Oil

Canarium ovatum

Rich and cushioning, pili oil contributes softness, emollience, and depth to the formula.

Elemi Oil

Canarium luzonicum

Also known as Manila elemi, this oil gives YANNARA its distinctive aromatic signature and a quiet connection to home.

Moringa Oil

Moringa oleifera

Silky and resilient, moringa oil contributes smooth spread, lasting emollience, and an elegant skin feel.

Heritage gives the formula its soul. Precision determines how every ingredient is used.

Formulated and Made in Texas

From Formula to Finished Bottle

YANNARA is developed and produced through LikhaBio CosmaLab in Houston, Texas. The same team that builds each formula also weighs, blends, fills, inspects, and documents every production batch.

Keeping formulation and manufacturing together allows us to protect the details that define each serum, including ingredient compatibility, active concentration, texture, sensory finish, packaging, and batch consistency.

Formulation is led by a biology-trained cosmetic formulator, registered nurse, and member of the Society of Cosmetic Chemists. YANNARA was founded by Ian Ballena and Julie Valenzuela, both registered nurses whose healthcare backgrounds bring an additional discipline to documentation, traceability, safety review, and process control.

Small Batch, Carefully Documented

Small batch production does not mean informal production. Every batch is supported by formula and manufacturing records, raw material lot traceability, in-process checks, fill and packaging inspection, retained samples, and stability documentation.

I have very sensitive skin and facial eczema, so I'm always nervous about trying new skincare products. I decided to try the Yannara BarrierRegen™ Serum, and I'm so glad I did. The packaging was beautiful and felt so luxurious. Everything arrived securely packed and looked very ...

Thank you, Anna. Sensitive, reactive skin was exactly the case we built BarrierRegen™ around — Ceramide NP with sphingolipids replaces the specific lipid class a compromised barrier is short of, and golden seaweed sits alongside it to help calm the look of stressed skin. The reas...

I have been using the serum for weeks now and it feels so nice on my skin. I had dry skin on the sides of my nose, and it completely disappeared. I’ve been trying to get rid of it for a couple of years and this serum worked wonders. Thank you Yannara!

Thank you, Herbert. Those persistent dry patches around the nose are usually a barrier-integrity issue rather than a hydration one, which is why oils behave differently there than creams do. Glad the texture works for you.

One of my biggest skin problems was having an extremely oily face. No matter what powder I used, after just a few hours my face would become greasy again. Then I discovered Yannara Banayad. After using it for about two weeks, I noticed that my face wasn't as oily anymore. Even ...

Salamat, Jannah! Banayad's dry-oil finish is engineered specifically for oily skin — the counterintuitive part is that the right oil profile can reduce the greasy look rather than add to it. "Fresh" is exactly the word we were after.
