Our sunflower seed oil is cold pressed and organic for the ultimate in skincare. Sunflower seed oil is non-comedogenic and therefore does not clog the pores (which can create break-outs). Anti-oxidant rich sunflower seed oil helps neutralise free radicals which can damage our skin cells. Helping promote cell regeneration, this wonder oil is anti-inflammatory and is therefore ideal for many a skin condition where the skin becomes inflamed. The vitamin E that is naturally abundant in sunflower seed oil helps protect the collagen and elastin in the skin and is therefore considered anti-aging. This light and golden oil is also high in vitamin A which is a natural anti-oxidant and like vitamin E helps regenerate the skin cells.

Native to southern Arizona and California, jojoba oil has been used in skincare for centuries.  Extracted by cold pressing the jojoba seed, jojoba oil, whilst called an oil, it is actually a liquid wax ester.   Another non-comedogenic oil, jojoba oil is so alike to the skin’s own naturally produced oils (sebum) that it is readily absorbed  without any oily residue and will consequently help regulate and balance excessively oily skin.  Rich in vitamins A and E, and omega-6 fatty acids which are essential components of the skin’s barrier.  This barrier protects on the skin’s surface and combined with the anti-inflammatory effects of the vitamin E, allows the skin to heal and regenerate its cells.  It also acts as a humectant, meaning it works to retain moisture in the skin.

Cedarwood essential oil is naturally antiseptic, antimicrobial and antifungal and an astringent,  rendering it ideal for skin conditions such as eczema and spot prone skin.   Abundant in anti-inflammatory compounds, cedarwood is excellent for calming the skin.   If you’re having trouble sleeping, then cedarwood can come to the rescue with its ability to relax and sedate the body.
