It also has strong anti-inflammatory properties and powerful skin healing effects that work wonders on problematic skin. Our chamomile essential oil is steam distilled from organically grown flowers.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 and 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 tamanu oil is virgin, cold-pressed and 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.

Our pomegranate oil is cold pressed and unrefined.Grapeseed oil // This oil is ligthweight and absorbs easily into the skin. It can help retain moisture and is rich in the essential fatty acid linoleic acid. Research has shown that linoleic acid is effective in cell regulation, skin-barrier repair, and has anti-inflammatory properties. Some studies have even shown that acne-prone skin may be deficient in linoleic acid, and applying it topically can help clear the skin. Our grapeseed oil is cold pressed from organically grown grape seeds. It is also unrefined and usually has a dark green appearance.Safflower Oil Infusion // Not all safflower oil is created equal. We use a fast absorbing, high quality oil that is extremely high in linolenic (Omega-3) and linoleic acid (Omega-6), both beneficial fatty acids. We then carefully sun-infused this oil with blemish-busting organic thyme and sebum-balancing green tea to create a powerful clarifying herbal infusion. Both our oil and our herbs found in this infusion are certified organic.Full Ingredient List: Carthamus tinctorius (safflower) oil* infused with Camellia sinensis (green tea)* and Thymus vulgaris (thyme)*, Simmondsia chinensis (jojoba) oil*, Vitis vinifera (grapeseed) oil*, Punica granatum (pomegranate) oil*, Calophyllum inophyllum (tamanu) oil, Oenothera biennis (evening primrose) oil*, Sambucus nigra (elderberry) fruit extract, tocopherols (non-GMO vitamin E), essential oils of Matricaria recutita (chamomile), Helichrysum italicum (immortelle), Citrus aurantium (neroli)*, Boswellia carterii (frankincense)*, Pelargonium graveolens var roseum (geranium)*, Cymbopogon martinii var. motia (palmarosa)*, and Lavandula angustifolia (lavender)* *organic
