Kaolin clay is a mineral rich, light clay and extremely soft in texture.  Kaolin gets its name due to the clay first being taken from the hills in Gaoling, China.  Kaolin can come in slightly different shades of white – sometimes pink or greenish but the whiter the clay, the purer it is.  With its neutral Ph, kaolin does not dry your skin out.  However it still has powerful and beneficial  properties with its ability to gently extract impurities making it ideal for tackling spots and acne and also removing excess oil from the skin.  Not only does this soft clay cleanse the skin without irritation, it also soothes inflammation.

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.

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.

Tea Tree essential oil has been used for centuries to clean wounds and treat a wide variety of skin conditions.  We’ve added it to this facial oil to give those extra benefits whilst this oil is moisturising your skin.  Tea Tree is a popular go to choice of oil for those prone to spots due to its antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, antiviral and even antifungal properties.  Tea Tree will cleanse the skin, help eradicate any infection, calm inflammation and heal, making it ideal for spot prone skin.

We’ve also added a few drops of high strength Vitamin E – a natural antioxidant that helps slow down the natural oxidisation in oils and therefore helping to prolong the shelf life of this cleanser.  This is not to be confused with a preservative.  Of course, not only does vitamin E help the actual products, it is a wonderful antioxidant boost for the skin too.
