This antioxidant-rich facial oil has been formulated with 5 powerful yet light plant oils that nourish and protect skin from environmental damage, with a refreshing blend of essential oils that decongest skin and regulate sebum production. We also use plant resins that give this oil a deep green woodsy scent, that finishes with a light, citrus and vanilla-like scent on the skin (or hair!), perfect for men and women!

This oil is quickly absorbed and comparatively lighter than other facial oils. Also, makes a fantastic after-shave oil for men. Ideal for combination, "normal" and acne-prone skin who want to balance oil production and protect against environmental damages. This facial oil can be worn alone, or under moisturizer and/or makeup.

Although beneficial to all skin types, those with combination or occasionally problematic skin will find this oil to have the greatest impact on their overall complexion.

Benefits

• Cypress oil helps to purify pores while conditioning skin to a silky softness and has purported cell-renewal properties. Cypress helps regulate sebum (facial oil) production, which in turn helps diminish break-outs. Bergamot essential oil helps soothe skin irritations. Both of these essential oils are used by aromatherapists to create a sense of calm and to ease anxiety, and Cypress is known to help people through times of transition (we're guessing it's useful for job interviews and getting stuck in traffic as well).
  (NB. We use bergaptene-free Bergamot, so this oil will not make skin photo-sensitive.)
• Rice Bran oil has been shown to improve microcirculation in the skin, and is rich in antioxidants, such as vitamin E and oryzanol, and squalene which helps support collagen. Research also suggests that the oil can help skin reduce absorption of UV rays, lessening the aging effects of the sun. Traditionally, it has been used as a natural SPF, and is said to be one of Japan's best-kept beauty secrets (until now, that is!).
• Camellia seed oil and Argan oil are beautiful, light oils that are rich in antioxidants that rejuvenate and revitalize dull, tired skin.
• Sweet almond oil and apricot kernel oil both benefit all skin types, are easily absorbed and are highly nourishing, rich in vitamins and antioxidants. Both oils leave skin soft and well conditioned.

After cleansing skin, apply 2 drops (or as needed) to the back of your hand, and use fingertips to lightly dab and press oil into skin. Remember to inhale to reap the aromatherapeutic benefits! Can be worn alone, or under makeup or moisturizer. Can be used morning and night. Remember to replace the cap tightly after use!
