As well as the essential oils, what makes our face oils stand out from the crowd is the unique combination of vitamin rich carrier oils which they come in. We tried hundreds of combinations to get something that is just right, both in terms of texture and skin nourishment. We wanted something that was rich enough to leave skin soft and moisturised but also fast-absorbing (so there was no worries about going straight to bed and putting your head on the pillow). We also wanted to ensure we were able to provide all the nutrients skin needed during its nightly repair session - especially vitamins A & E.
The winning formula is a tailor-made blend of four oils - each bringing something special to the party.
Here's the run down:
Apricot Kernel Oil: A light, odourless oil extracted from the soft fleshy centre of an apricot stone. We've chosen this as our main carrier in all our After Dark Face Oils because we love the fact it is loaded with oleic acid which means it has a high affinity with human skin and makes it easily absorbed. It packs a high nutrient punch as it is naturally loaded with Vitamin A, B1, B2, B6, B17 (the richest plant source in the world) and Vitamin E.
Wheatgerm Oil: One of the richest sources of Vitamin E known on earth, wheatgerm oil is a natural anti-oxidant and rich source of the omega-6 essential fatty acids that our cells thrive on to stay healthy. It also contains Vitamins A, B1, B2, and B6 as well as a host of handy proteins and minerals that can feed our skin as we sleep.
White Tea Seed Oil: Technically known as Camellia Seed Oil, this easily absorbed oil is made from cold pressed wild seeds from a pure, 'white' version of the plant that gives us our favourite cuppa. Widely revered in Asia, it has been used in Japan for centuries as a beauty aid to condition skin, hair and nails. We've added it to our Night-time Bath & Shower and Face Oils and our Pulse Point Sleep Balms to give an added boost of moisturisation and for its high levels of antioxidant Vitamin A.
Rosehip Seed Oil: A rock-star in the world of natural oils - Rosehip Seed Oil has been getting lots of attention recently as clinical research trials have shown it can dramatically improve skins moisture levels, minimising the appearance of wrinkles and smoothing skin. This natural anti-ageing oil come from the seeds of the native rose plant which grows wild in France. It's the high levels of Vitamin A and some important skin-friendly nutrients that make it so special. Combined together they promote cell regeneration and encourage collagen and elastin levels to increase. It is also high in Vitamin E which promotes healthy skin and has powerful anti-oxidant properties. A wonder oil! We use only the best quality oils in everything we make - hand selected from small batch growers and handled with care so the active ingredients they contain remain intact.
Everything is 100% natural, made in the UK and, of course, the only animals we ever test on are ourselves. Please do, give them a try and let us know what you think. We hope they help you to sleep beautifully and to wake up feeling and looking totally gorgeous.
