• Prickly pear seed, sea buckthorn berry & pomegranate oils give skin a trifecta of antioxidant protection, vitamins, & fatty acids to brighten & rejuvenate the skin.

Key Ingredients & Why They Work:

Sea Buckthorn Berry Oil // Sea buckthorn 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. Some research has shown that sea buckthorn can help reduce sebum production, reduce the occurrence of breakouts, and speed up healing. 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 skin-loving, 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. The sea berries are sustainably hand-harvested and the producer is committed to protect valuable local natural resources and support local communities and families.

CoQ10 // A naturally occurring substance present in human cells. When applied topically it works as a barrier to keep free radicals at bay and enhances the skin's ability to regenerate itself.

Sugar Extract // Sugar is a natural source of glycolic acid, a superior exfoliant that helps slough away dead skin cells to help reveal a brighter, more youthful complexion.

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 easily absorbs into the skin, protects against free radicals, refines uneven texture, helps prevent premature aging, provides nutrients, and brightens a complexion. Our prickly pear seed oil is virgin and certified organic.

Blue Chamomile essential oil // Also known as German chamomile, this blue essential oil is one of the most powerful healing oils for the skin. Close in kin to popular blue tansy, this oil is rich in chamazulene which is what gives the essential oil its beautiful blue color. It has cooling, antioxidant, antimicrobial and antibacterial properties to help control bad bacteria. 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.
