We hand picked each flower oil within our unique oil blend but do you know the individual benefits of these components? Grab a pen and paper because you may learn something new about an oil you’re already using in your daily routine.

  1. Sunflower Oil:
    Sunflower oil is rich in vitamin E, an antioxidant that helps protect the skin from environmental damage and premature aging caused by free radicals. Its high linoleic acid content makes it suitable for all skin types, including acne-prone and sensitive skin, as it helps maintain the skin’s natural barrier function and prevent moisture loss. Sunflower oil also possesses anti-inflammatory properties, which can help soothe irritated skin and reduce redness and inflammation associated with conditions like eczema and dermatitis. Additionally, its lightweight texture makes it easily absorbed into the skin without leaving a greasy residue, leaving the skin feeling soft, smooth, and nourished.
  2. Meadowfoam Oil:
    Meadowfoam oil is a highly emollient oil that forms a protective barrier on the skin, locking in moisture and preventing dehydration. It contains fatty acids that closely resemble those found in the skin’s natural sebum, making it an excellent choice for maintaining skin hydration and preventing moisture loss. Meadowfoam oil is also rich in antioxidants, such as vitamin E, which help neutralize free radicals and protect the skin from oxidative stress and damage. Its lightweight and non-comedogenic nature make it suitable for all skin types, including oily and acne-prone skin, as it moisturizes without clogging pores. Additionally, meadowfoam oil has soothing properties that can help calm and alleviate inflammation, making it beneficial for soothing sensitive or irritated skin conditions.
  3. Evening Primrose Oil:
    Evening primrose oil is renowned for its high concentration of gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), an omega-6 fatty acid with powerful anti-inflammatory properties. GLA helps support skin health by reducing inflammation, promoting cell regeneration, and improving the skin’s elasticity and firmness. This makes evening primrose oil particularly beneficial for addressing skin concerns such as eczema, psoriasis, and rosacea, where inflammation plays a significant role. Additionally, evening primrose oil is rich in essential fatty acids, including linoleic acid and oleic acid, which help maintain the skin’s lipid barrier and prevent moisture loss. Its moisturizing and nourishing properties make it suitable for dry, mature, or sensitive skin types, helping to improve overall skin texture, tone, and radiance.
  4. Vitamin E: Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant that helps protect the skin from free radical damage caused by UV exposure and environmental pollutants. It’s also known for its moisturizing and anti-inflammatory properties, helping to soothe and nourish the skin. Vitamin E has been used in skincare for decades and is known for its ability to promote skin health and youthful appearance.
