Description

Face Oil – Chamomile, Calendula and Rosehip (Sensitive Skin)

Face oils are like moisturisers in that they bring hydration to the skin, but that’s where the similarities end. Moisturisers are water-based, and they help to lock water into the skin. Oils can’t add water, but they are masters at sealing in moisture and preventing it from evaporating from the skin’s surface. Facial oils are made from a blend of plant oils and come with a host of benefits, we’re talking more radiant skin, smoother skin and a natural looking glow. The right formula can help boost hydration, calm irritation and even help balance oily skin types.
Face oils are excellent at caring for the skin barrier function. Natural ceramides, fatty acids and lipids help to make up the top layer of the skin and facial oils are similar enough to our own oils to really replenish that barrier. All our face oils are 100% natural, vegan, cruelty free, and plastic free. Made in the UK

Creating a face oil specifically for sensitive skin with chamomile, calendula, and rosehip involves selecting gentle yet effective ingredients that provide soothing, calming, and hydrating properties. Here’s a formulation guide for such a product:

1. Base Oils:
   • Rosehip Seed Oil: Rich in essential fatty acids, vitamins A and C, and antioxidants, rosehip seed oil deeply moisturizes the skin, reduces inflammation, and helps repair the skin barrier. It’s gentle enough for sensitive skin and helps improve overall skin health.
   • Jojoba Oil: Similar in composition to the skin’s natural oils, jojoba oil is lightweight, non-comedogenic, and helps balance oil production. It provides long-lasting hydration and forms a protective barrier on the skin without clogging pores or causing irritation.
2. Calming Botanical Extracts:
   • Chamomile Extract: Chamomile is known for its soothing and anti-inflammatory properties, making it ideal for calming sensitive or irritated skin. Chamomile extract helps reduce redness, irritation, and inflammation, promoting a more comfortable and balanced complexion.
   • Calendula Extract: Another gentle and soothing ingredient, calendula helps calm and heal the skin. It has anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties, making it beneficial for sensitive skin prone to irritation or redness.
3. Additional Ingredients:
   • Vitamin E Oil: A powerful antioxidant, vitamin E oil helps protect the skin from free radical damage and supports skin repair and regeneration. It provides nourishment and helps strengthen the skin barrier, reducing sensitivity and improving overall skin health.
4. Packaging:
   • Store the face oil in a dark glass bottle with a dropper for easy application and to protect the oil from light and air, preserving its freshness and potency.
5. Usage:
   • Apply a few drops of the face oil to clean, damp skin morning and evening. Gently massage it into the skin using upward motions until fully absorbed. Follow with a moisturizer if desired.

By combining these gentle and soothing ingredients, you can create a face oil tailored for sensitive skin with chamomile, calendula, and rosehip that helps calm irritation, reduce redness, and improve overall skin health.
