WHY DO WE USE THIS COMBINATION OF OILS? Here is a brief write-up on each oil, in their order of use in our Facial Oil formula.
We think you'll agree that they create a very desirable combination of benefits.
SWEET ALMOND OIL
is a very beneficial and expensive skin oil that is easily absorbable and serves as a great emollient. It lends a soft glow to the skin. It is an excellent natural moisturizer and is suitable for all skin types. It helps balance moisture in the skin. In case of loss of moisture it helps to restore it. It is a good lubricant, aiding in treatment of itching and inflammation. Sweet Almond Oil conditions and nourishes skin, reviving its natural glow. It is known to improve the complexion. Sweet Almond oil can be used in massage to provide relief in case of muscle pain. It has a high concentration of oleic and linoleic essential fatty acids and is very good for skin.
SUNFLOWER OIL
is light in texture and leaves the skin feeling satin-smooth. It contains Vitamin A, B, D and E and is high in unsaturated fatty acids and essential fatty acids. It is easily absorbed and provides a protective barrier against infection.
OLIVE OIL
is known for its therapeutic properties. It has a very soothing feel to it and is good for the skin. The oil's fat composition is very similar to that of human skin, therefore olive oil generally doesn't cause any allergic reactions. It is absorbed quickly, doesn't leave a greasy film behind and helps lock moisture into the skin. The result is soft, smooth skin. The higher proportion of unsaturated fat and vitamin E also works on the outside, particularly on sensitive skin.
JOJOBA OIL
is actually a liquid wax/oil that came into use during the 1970s, when the killing of whales for commercial use was banned. Jojoba oil possesses the same properties as the oil derived from the sperm whale. The word Jojoba is pronounced as "ho-ho-ba". Jojoba Oil is light and silky in touch and has anti inflammatory properties. The oil quickly penetrates into the skin and works wonders for dry and sensitive skin.
Jojoba oil resembles the sebum of our own skin and makes a superb moisturizer. It is suitable for all skin types. It aids in unclogging the pores, assisting the skin in shedding impurities. Jojoba oil is quite expensive; therefore, it is used in smaller quantities in formulas. The oil is of value in treating acne and pimples. Due to it's antioxidant properties, it does not become rancid quickly.
LAVENDER ESSENTIAL OIL
has good antibacterial, antifungal, anti-inflamatory and antiviral properties. It benefits inflammation, dermatitis, eczema, wounds and is useful as an antiseptic. These wonderful properties make it very desirable in a Facial Oil formulation.
