A squalane serum for stressed, dry skin.
SOS: Save Our Skin. Plant-derived squalane from sugarcane, four African oils, passion fruit oil and our fermented AYA Complex. Rich and silky, it sinks in for skin that feels tight, dry or out of sorts and needs extra support.
What's in it, and why
- Squalane (from sugarcane): a lightweight emollient similar to a lipid found in your skin's own natural oils.
- Kalahari melon, marula, baobab and mongongo oils: four African oils rich in fatty acids that soften and nourish.
- Passion fruit (maracuja) oil: light and quickly absorbed, naturally high in linoleic acid.
- AYA Complex: raw fermented papaya with turmeric and cinnamon, infused in fractionated coconut oil.
Who it's for
Dry, stressed or tired skin. Use it every day, or reach for it after sun, wind, travel or a change in season.
Allergy note: Contains mongongo (manketti) nut oil and coconut-derived oil. Got questions? Check our FAQ.

Pair it with AYA Balm: what customers say
Great Balm!
I have a small eczema patch on my hand, and I have tried almost everything to get rid of it, but nothing worked. I used this balm only for a few days, and now the patch is gone!
Wow! Wow! Wow!
I was given many reasons why I should try the Aya Balm. The only thing that caught my eye was..."It's great for Mosquito bites'. WELL WELL WELL, Aya Balm you rock! Within minutes of applying this to my Mozzie Bites....it calms the itch right down and soothes the horrible pain and swelling that comes with it. Well done Aya - not many brands live up to their sales pitch!
Love this balm
I've used many different balms in my life. After landing on AYA Balm which was gifted to me by a friend I knew that this one is a keeper. It keeps my lips moisturized for long especially in the winter months. It is also easy to apply and last very long. Thank you AYA!
Wish I'd discovered this sooner
I wish I had discovered this sooner! It is a remarkable product - excellent for babies, toddlers and parents.
Wonder balm
I got this for my plumber fiance to keep on him at work for nicks and cuts etc - its worked wonders and the metal screw tin is great for him too. It actually helped draw out a piece of glass he has had stuck in his hand for a long time and prevent further infection. And i also steal some for spots on my face which its helped with too. Will definitely be getting more!
Teenage love!
My very fussy teenager loves this product. He has very dry hands and he uses this every night to keep the skin from cracking. Much better than petroleum-based Zambuk!
A Miracle in a Bottle
I recently had the pleasure of trying AYA SOS Serum, and I can confidently say that it has transformed my skincare routine in ways I never imagined. From the very first application, I was blown away - The texture of the serum is luxuriously silky, gliding effortlessly onto my skin. What sets AYA SOS Serum apart is its remarkable ability to deliver on its promises. My skin, which often struggles with redness and occasional breakouts, felt soothed and revitalised after just a few uses. The serum absorbed quickly, leaving my skin feeling deeply hydrated without any greasy residue. One of the standout aspects of this serum is its impressive ingredient list. The combination of powerful antioxidants and natural extracts seems to work wonders, leaving my skin visibly brighter and more radiant. I have also noticed a significant reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, giving my complexion a youthful and rejuvenated look. What truly astounded me was the fact that I had previously tried a serum from a very well-known brand, which was priced at five times that of AYA SOS Serum. To my surprise, the expensive serum didn't even come close to the results I experienced with AYA SOS. The difference was night and day – AYA SOS Serum not only surpassed the expensive competitor but also delivered exceptional results at a fraction of the cost. AYA SOS Serum has become my holy grail skincare product. Its effectiveness, combined with its affordable price point, makes it a true gem in the world of skincare. I cannot stop recommending it to EVERYONE I know!
