Sea Buckthorn Berry Oil
Sea buckthorn oil is one of the most nutrient-rich oils available. It helps repair, reduce the appearance of fine lines, improves skin hydration, and is even beneficial for breakout-prone skin. Our sea buckthorn oil is produced from the berry (not just the seed) through a clean supercritical CO2 extraction process that preserves more nutrients than any other process. Our high quality oil has a deep red amber color because of its rich content of the antioxidant beta-carotene. It is also loaded with free-radical-fighting compounds such as vitamins A, C, E, fatty acids like Omega 3, 6, 9, phytosterols, flavonoids, and the highest percentage available of the very rare Omega 7. Our oil is certified organic, Fair Trade and sourced from the Himalayas.
Prickly Pear Seed Oil
Also known as barberry fig oil, this luxurious and nutrient-dense super oil is a powerhouse skincare ingredient. It has a higher Vitamin E content than any other oil on the market, making it a potent source of natural antioxidants. There is also Vitamin K, known to brighten the skin, belatains (a super-antioxidant), and essential fatty acids such as linoleic acid (omega-6). Prickly pear oil is easily absorbed into the skin, protects against free radicals, refines uneven texture, helps prevent premature aging, provides nutrients, and brightens the complexion. Our prickly pear seed oil is virgin and certified organic.
Immortelle Essential Oil
Helichrysum, also known as immortelle or everlasting, is a small yellow flower with amazing healing and regenerative properties. It gets its name from the fact that the blooms never wilt! The essential oil extracted from the bloom is a powerful healer. Used in synergy with blue chamomile, it creates a powerhouse skin healing combo, great for diminishing redness and speeding the healing of blemishes. Our immortelle essential oil is certified organic.
Pomegranate Oil
Useful for cell regeneration and improving the skin's ability to retain moisture, which is essential for healthy skin. Pomegranate oil is high in flavonoids, antioxidants (including ellagic acid) which help prevent UV damage. It also contains the rare fatty acid omega-5 (punicic acid) which is known to soothe the skin and prevent moisture loss. Our pomegranate oil is cold pressed and unrefined.
Evening Primrose Oil
Brimming with Gamma-linoleic acid (or GLA), an essential omega-6 fatty acid that’s crucial to the development of cell membranes and hormones, Evening Primrose Oil provides our bodies and skin with essential nutrients that are important for our overall health and wellbeing. Evening Primrose Oil has the ability to balance hormones, has emollient properties, and is antioxidant rich.
Chamomile & Calendula Infusion
A soothing in-house herbal infusion of chamomile and calendula in jojoba oil complements the active ingredients in these formulas. Chamomile oil may help support redness, hyperpigmentation, and acne, as well as having soothing and wound healing effects. Calendula is a beautiful orange and yellow blossom with anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties. Combined in a jojoba oil infusion, these soothing herbs help make the duo suitable for sensitive skin.
Think of the Vitamin C Balm as your go-to for deep repair, moisture and nourishment. The Sea Berry Oil is its lighter weight counterpart, working to maintain proper moisture, keep pores clear, and protect from the elements. Here's how to get the most out of our Vitamin C Balm and Sea Berry Oil duo:
Day & Night Moisture: If you favor a lighter moisturizer during the day, use the Sea Berry Oil as your daytime moisturizer, and the Vitamin C Balm as your nighttime moisturizer. Each can be used at any time of the day, but your skin barrier will definitely thank you for using an antioxidant-rich moisturizer during hours of sun exposure and creamy, super-hydrating plant butters during contact with your pillow!
Repairing Mask: Use the Vitamin C Balm as an overnight repair mask by layering it on extra thickly before bed. To add hydration, mix it with our Rose Hydration Mist. For a gentle exfoliating experience, mix with our Hibiscus Exfoliating Mud to create a revitalizing mask, massage in with circular motions, and rinse off after 10 minutes.
Oil Cleanse: Both the balm and the facial oil double as antioxidant-rich oil cleansers. This method is very popular with our esthetician partners, and it’s a great way to give your skin more doses of sea berry oil throughout the day. Simply massage the product into your skin, giving special attention to any congested areas, and remove with a damp cloth.
This duo is suitable for all skin types. Because sea berry oil is non-comedogenic and trusted for fighting blemishes, there is no need to worry about using this oil on acne-prone skin. It is also recommended for sensitive skin since all of our products are natural, gentle, and non-irritating.
