Organic Orange & Grapefruit Shaving Oil

Description

If you love a fresh citrusy smell combined with nourishment for your skin, then look no further.  The base oil  is grapeseed, which is a light but wonderfully moisturising oil, making it perfect for a smooth shave. The orange and grapefruit essential oils make for a mood boosting, uplifting, stimulating & refreshing experience! Both oils are excellent for ‘problem’ skin too!

Grapeseed oil is a non comedogenic oil (non pore clogging) and is rich in vitamin E which helps prevent damage to the body from free radical damage. Some natural oils are good for your hair, but they can also leave it feeling oily and weighed down. Grapeseed oil is lightweight and doesn’t have that effect. When applied to your hair, grapeseed oil adds moisture, strength, and shine. Grapeseed oil contains high levels of linoleic acid, an omega-6 fatty acid that can help control acne by decreasing clogged pores. It has been said that acne-prone skin has been found to be deficient in linoleic acid which can cause the skin’s natural oil (sebum) to become thicker thus leading to clogged pores. Therefore, with it being excellent for both the hair and skin is the reason why we chose this special oil for use in our shaving oils.

Orange essential oil boosts the mood and is an anti-depressant and even an aphrodisiac. It is excellent for the skin with its anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties making it ideal for acne, dermatitis and uncomfortable skin conditions. It even aids the reduction of dark spots, thanks to the vitamin C content. Orange essential oil promotes circulation whilst simultaneously reducing enlarged pores and firming the skin.

Grapefruit Essential oil is mentally uplifting & stimulating citrus oil that is anti-oxidant, antiseptic and anti-microbial which makes it perfect for cleansing the skin. With its anti-viral properties, it boosts the lymphatic system so can help with freeing the body of toxins. Oily skin can benefit from grapefruit as it helps reduce the overproduction of sebum. Excess sebum is oily skin. By aiding the skin to regenerate, grapefruit can help maintain youthful and glowing skin.
