Face Oil: Blossom, for Mature Skin

"I am now using this instead of my well known face cream that I have been using for years. The oil makes my face feel so much softer" Tina

Made from a blend of rosehip, borage and seabuckthorn oils, chosen for their nourishing yet light, non greasy properties and infused with elderflower to help brighten and soften mature 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!

Borage Oil is a fantastic source of GLA (Gamma Linoleic Acid) which helps regenerate, firm and rejuvenate the skin's barrier function and maintain skin elasticity.  Borage oil also contains linoleic acid which helps to prevent wrinkles and premature aging, fights loss of skin elasticity and dryness. Ellagic acid supports the production of collagen, preventing its breakdown and regenerating skin cells. Ferulic acid, an antioxidant more effective than vitamin E, protects and soothes damage caused by sun and weather.

Seabuckthorn Oil gives the blend its wonderful golden colour.  In its raw form seabuckthorn oil is an intense orange colour due to its high content of provitamin A carotenes and carotenoids.  Sea buckthorn is an exceptional ingredient in skincare due to its high content of omega-3 and omega-6 essential fatty acids and vitamins E, B1, B2 and K.

Elderflower has been used since Egyptian times for reducing wrinkles and age spots. It is diuretic, anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial.

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.

Ylang Ylang is a floral, sweet yet delicate intoxicating oil known for being helpful with stress and anxiety
