Key ingredients/benefits:
BLUE LOTUS: the Blue Lotus flower has a rich historical and cultural significance, particularly in ancient Egypt and other parts of East Asia. In ancient Egyptian civilization, the Blue Lotus was revered for its spiritual and medicinal properties, often associated with relaxation, tranquility, and heightened states of consciousness.

EMERALD SEA GRASS: has a light, green herbaceous scent with aquatic marine undertones. Originating from Newfoundland and steam distilled from the leaves, this underwater treasure grows in shallow, brackish waters and has a fresh, uplifting aroma as well as some moisturising qualities.

ABYSSINIAN OIL: Both luxurious and light, it contains a high percentage of an Omega-9 fatty acid that helps to give hair a glossy feel and skin suppleness.

HEMP: a famously healing herb – light, easily absorbed, anti-microbial, high in omegas and minerals and full of vitamin E and ultra-softening nutrients.

BLACK SEED: a natural hair tonic traditionally used to improve the condition of hair. It’s naturally anti-fungal, antiseptic, anti-inflammatory and antibacterial; perfect prevention/help for skin conditions. A snippet of plant-knowledge wisdom if ever there was one: ‘Use the Black Seed for indeed, it is a cure for all diseases except death.’

BLUE TANSY: a vivid, blue delight! Historically, blue tansy has been used in traditional medicine for its anti-inflammatory and calming properties. The essential oil is rich in chamazulene, which contributes to its vibrant blue color and is believed to possess anti-inflammatory and antioxidant qualities. In traditional practices, blue tansy has been used to alleviate skin conditions, soothe irritated skin, and reduce signs of inflammation.

GRAPESEED: Non-comodogenic (doesn’t clog pores), this clever oil is light and dreamy, balances sebum, moisturises and is said to restore collagen in the skin. Its linoleic acid helps strengthen cell membranes. It’s also astringent, meaning it tightens pores. Antioxidant and anti-inflammatory – meaning it works on problem areas as well as preventing future ones.

ORGANIC ARGAN: One of my favourite things about this oil, is that, like the others carefully chosen for this blend, it doesn’t cause blockages, spots or oil build up. Full of antioxidants, vitamin E and essential fatty acids, many claim it boosts elasticity of the skin (keeping things looking fresh and vibrant) and it’s another balancing oil that helps keep your complexion on an even keel.

NUTMEG, BAY LEAF, FRANKINCENSE, CORIANDER, BLACK PEPPER & CLARY SAGE: these essential oils are warm, appealing and complex in aroma, balancing the fresh marine scents with a mysterious spicyness; all do good things for the mind & body; a magical, deeply layered combination.

MANGO BUTTER: anti-inflammatory, deeply moisturising, soothing and replenishing.

TEA SEED OIL: The tea plant is known for its high antioxidant content (meaning it fights free radical damage) and is anti-inflammatory. It’s a beautiful thing to connect with your skin, hence this page!

MANDARIN, CEDARWOOD, PATCHOULI & LAVENDER: Anti-microbial, anti-inflammatory and gentle, lavender is renowned for its soothing, calming natural aroma. A woody, earthy note with natural properties of astringency and calming, patchouli soothes and tones skin and stimulates the generation of new cells. The healing qualities of frankincense have long been known. Steam distilled from the resin of the Boswelia genus of trees, it has a rather regal scent which is also calming and uplifting, and it’s even thought to lift and tighten skin naturally. Mandarin adds a softly uplifting, citrus note.
