Find it in: Oil, Butter 

Sunflower Oil

Sunflower seed oil is one of my favorites, because it has such a soothing, comforting texture. Organic, USA grown, expeller pressed oil is high in both oleic and linoleic acids, which means it has a rich texture that will soothe the driest skin, but it's also non-pore clogging. Sunflower is a perfect choice for skin that struggles with both dryness and breakouts. 

Sunflower is rich in skin-repairing vitamins E, A, and B, and it soaks in quickly without leaving a greasy sheen. While its rich texture doesn't quite have the necessary glide for cleansing, it makes a wonderful fast-absorbing body oil or facial serum. It has a neutral, pale-yellow color, and little to no scent.

Find it in: Acne Spot Treatment, Balm, Butter, Oil, Body Butter, Shimmer Balms, Cuticle Oil, Filter Balm, Tattoo Oil, The Stain, Carrier Oils 

Hemp Oil

Hemp seed oil is an extremely lightweight, fast-absorbing "dry" oil that will not clog pores, which makes it an excellent starter-oil for oily and acne-prone skin. Hemp seed oil is rich in anti-inflammatory, skin repairing omegas 3, 6, and 9.

Organic, cold-pressed oil has a deep, greenish brown hue and a slightly earthy, nutty aroma. It does not contain any CBD or THC.

Grapeseed Oil 

Grapeseed oil is a deeply penetrating and fast-absorbing oil that has a nice glide for oil cleansing or massage. In addition to nourishing fatty-acids and high levels of vitamin E, C, and D, grapeseed oil is said to be rich in antioxidants called polyphenols, which help repair free-radical damage, even skin tone, and are also said to lend grapeseed oil toning and antimicrobial properties. Grapeseed oil is another excellent choice for both dry/mature and acne prone skin. This wild-crafted expeller-pressed oil has a light green color and a subtly sweet and earthy wine-like aroma.  

Find it in: Oil, Butter, Eye Serum, Deodorant, Carrier Oils

Rosehip Oil

Another extremely light and fast-absorbing "dry" oil, rosehip seed oil is one of my absolute favorites for both skin and body care, due to its high levels of skin-repairing antioxidants like vitamins A, C, B, and E. Rosehip also contains high levels of linoleic acid (omega-6) which is said to help with hyperpigmentation and balancing acne-prone skin. A wonderfully healing choice for all skin types. Wild-crafted, cold pressed oil in stock from Chile has a vibrant light-orange color, and a very subtle sweet-earthy aroma. 

Find it in: Oil, Butter, Eye Serum, Carrier Oils

Evening Primrose Oil

Evening primrose seed oil has a luscious but light texture, with serious skin-softening properties, due to to its high amounts of omega 6 (gamma linoleic acid, or GLA.) The anti-inflammatory properties of GLA are said to help reduce redness, making evening primrose an excellent choice for dry, sensitive, and mature skin. Organic, cold-pressed evening primrose oil has a pale yellow color, and a slight earthy scent.

Avocado Oil

Avocado seed oil has a rich, but fast-absorbing texture and is considered to be high-oleic, which makes it a good choice for healing and soothing dry skin. However, it does not clog pores, and is also a good choice for acne-prone skin. Avocado is full of anti-inflammatory antioxidants like vitamins A, C, K, and B6 (niacin,) as well as minerals like potassium and magnesium. Organic, cold-pressed avocado oil is a pale yellow/green color, with no scent.

Argan Oil

Argan oil is a lightweight, non-pore-clogging oil with a somewhat slippery texture, which makes it a good choice for both cleansing, and nourishing oily and acne-prone skin. Argan is rich in skin-repairing fatty acids, and anti-inflammatory polyphenols and vitamin E.  Organic, cold-pressed extra virgin argan oil is a pale yellow color with a slightly earthy-sweet scent. 

Find it in: Oil, Butter, Carrier Oils 

Red Raspberry Oil

Red raspberry seed oil is a very lightweight, fast-absorbing "dry" oil, that's perfectly balancing for all skin types. It's very high in antioxidants llike vitamins A, and E, which scavenge free-radicals to prevent and repair damaged skin. It also contains an antioxidant called ellagic acid, which is said to lend red raspberry seed oil antibacterial properties, while soothing inflammatory conditions like eczema. Cold-pressed, virgin, unrefined red raspberry seed oil is a deep golden color, with a slightly sweet, astringent aroma.

Blueberry seed oil is a very lightweight, fast absorbing "dry" oil that won't clog pores, and is packed with skin-repairing antioxidants, omega-3 and 6 fatty acids, and vitamin E.  The cold-pressed, unrefined, virgin blueberry seed oil that I have in stock currently is a deep purple color with a very strong, but fresh and fruity fragrance. This oil can range from green to blue in color.

Find it in: Oil, Butter, Lip Oil, Carrier Oils

Tea Tree Essential Oil  

Tea tree oil is one of my favorites for controlling acne breakouts due to its antibacterial, antiseptic properties. It has a woodsy, medicinal, fresh, but slightly spicy scent. This is also a good one for treating flaky scalp due to its anti-fungal properties.

Find it in: Acne Spot Treatment, Cuticle Oil, Hand Sanitizer
