Skincare Essentials: Essential Oils for Clear and Glowing Skin

May 24, 2021

Essential oils in ancient beauty rituals date back centuries. However, they continue to become increasingly popular as people seek out safe, non-toxic and natural skincare options. The popularity of these powerful healers stems from their ability to calm irritated skin, reduce signs of aging, improve acneic or scarred skin, and promote hydration for a clear and radiant complexion.

When using essential oils for skincare it's important to know which oils are right for you and your personal skin goals. We’ve listed some of our favorite skin rejuvenating essential oils and their top benefits so you can find the perfect oils to incorporate into your skin care routine. To receive these amazing benefits just mix a few drops into your moisturizer, dilute it with a carrier oil, or use a pre-diluted roll-on to apply directly to the skin.

Anti-Aging

FRANKINCENSE
Frankincense has the ability to naturally slow signs of aging by stimulating the generation of new cells. Adding frankincense to your routine can help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles for a youthful complexion.

HELICHRYSUM
Helichrysum is known as the “fountain of youth” because of its proven ability to reduce the visible signs of aging and even sagging skin.

LAVENDER
Lavender helps accelerate new cell growth and aids in tissue and collagen remodeling. Its antioxidant properties protect against oxidative stress to help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Acne & Scarring

TEA TREE
Tea tree is a popular choice for treating acne because of its anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties. It’s also known to reduce the appearance of acne scarring as well.

Hydration

YLANG YLANG
Ylang Ylang helps maintain skin moisture as well as reduce skin irritation and redness associated with dermatitis and eczema.

Itchy Skin

PEPPERMINT
Peppermint essential oil can be used to reduce itching temporarily but rubbing it onto the skin where the itching is occurring. It is commonly used for eczema, rash and other itching lesions.

Our sense of smell is closely linked to memories and certain scents can evoke powerful emotions.

Released this summer, enjoy the bright, floral-citrusy-sweet scent of Neroli Essential Oil, pre-diluted and packaged in a handy roll-on bottle. Sourced from the small white flowers of the bitter orange tree, neroli is distinguished from orange blossoms by the method of extraction. Our Organic Neroli Oil is steam distilled.

Essential Oils Meditation
Introducing New Meditation Blend

May 23, 2022

Our new meditation blend is perfect for adding to a mindfulness practice. Mindfulness, with its roots in Buddhist meditation, is the act of focusing on the present moment rather than over-processing the past or worrying about the future. Meditations that focus on breathing exercises and scanning the body support staying present and can reduce anxiety and depression as well as lower blood pressure and improve sleep.
