• Geranium essential oil derives from the leaves of the geranium plant. It has antimicrobial and antiseptic properties, and it’s good for oily and acne-prone skin, eczema, and psoriasis. Its fragrance is floral, green, and lemony. It is also believed to help with headaches, menstrual cramps, and hormonal fluctuations like PMS and menopause.

• Tangerine essential oil is zesty and sweet-smelling, like the citrus fruit it’s extracted from. It has antifungal and antiseptic properties and is believed to help with acne, dandruff, and dry scalps. It may also reduce the appearance of scars and stretch marks.

• Lavender essential oil comes from the flowers, leaves, and stalks of the lavender plant. It is anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antimicrobial, antioxidant, antiviral, and can help with acne, eczema, dermatitis, burns, and wounds. It is calming to the mind and may help with migraines, insomnia, stress, and depression.

• Lemongrass essential oil is extracted from the leaves and stalks of this tropical grassy plant, and has a strong lemony/citrus scent. It is an antioxidant, so it can help counter environmental stressors on the skin, like air pollution and sunlight. Its antibacterial properties make it good for oily and acne-prone skin.

Some people may have sensitivities to certain essential oils. We suggest that you test your oil on your hand or wrist before applying to your face. Citrus oils in particular can cause photosensitivity. Please use SPF.

Carrier oils are the bulk of our ingredients; they dilute the essential oils, which are potent and can cause irritation when used on their own. The carrier oils we use are certified organic and cold-pressed. They have low comedogenic numbers (meaning they are non-clogging), and each bring their own myriad benefits.
