Face Oil: Soothe, for Sensitive Skin

Made from a blend of rosehip, and evening primrose oils, chosen for their soothing, nourishing yet light, non greasy properties and infused with calendula to help calm and soothe dry and sensitive skin. Some of the ingredients we have chosen include:

Rosehip Oil is regenerative and nourishing. With high levels of alpha-Linolenic and linoleic acids, vitamin A increases skin elastin and promotes collagen formation. Vitamin E helps delay the onset of skin aging, protecting the cells against oxidation. Its tannin content adds to the astringent nature of the oil, creating a nourishing, yet dry non greasy feel. Rosehip oil has been known to help with wrinkles, age spots, UV damage, scar tissue, blemishes and difficult skin conditions. An absolute powerhouse!

Evening Primrose Oil has high levels of GLA (Gamma Linoleic Acid) which helps reduce inflammation, supporting the immune system and hormonal balance.  It can also regenerate, firm and rejuvenate the skin's barrier function and maintain skin elasticity.  Gallic acid speeds up healing and catechins are anti-bacterial.  The tannins in the oil help it to feel light on the skin.  Evening primrose oil provides nourishing and conditioning properties that are taken up by the skin easily, carrying the protective and nutritional compounds into the skin layers. 

Calendula has been known for generations as an anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial and soothing herb that can help alleviate a range of skin conditions.

Palmarosa has a fresh floral sweet scent. It can be helpful for balancing dry, oily and combination skin types.

Rose Geranium has a longstanding reputation as an essential oil particularly suited to women. It is supportive of the reproductive system and is also astringent, balancing the skin's production of sebum. Emotionally the oil is uplifting, as it can help with anxiety and depression.

Lavender has been used for hundreds of years as it has a multitude of benefits.  It is antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, anti-fungal.  It is thought to stimulate cell growth and therefore regeneration of the skin. Lavender calms down inflammation and speeds up wound healing.  The scent can help calm stress and anxiety and of course aids sleep.
