Festive Body Oil Recipe

for 1 x 100ml bottle you will need the following :

1 x 70 ml Grapeseed Oil
1 x 27 ml Jojoba Oil
1 x 0.3 ml Sea Buckthorn Oil

Optional :

2 / 3 Drops of the Winter Blend or your chosen essential oil

The method is super simple, you simply weigh out each ingredient and add it to a sterilised 100ml bottle - using a funnel helps prevent spilling. Give the bottle a quick shake before you use it and your ready to go.

We’ve only added a small amount of Sea Buckthorn oil to this recipe, as it has a very dark colour. However you can add more or take away depending on your skin tone - just perform a patch test before you rub it all over

Why we Love Sea Buckthorn

Sea Buckthorn is full of vitamins, fatty acids and omega-3,6,7 and 9. This makes it an absolute power house when it comes to protecting, repairing and hydrating the skin. A little bit goes a long way to rejuvenating and revitalising tired, damaged and dry skin

The Brilliance of Jojoba

Jojoba oil is the oil closest to our skin's natural sebum. It is readily absorbed into the skin and helps to regulate sebum production, making it the perfect oil for treating both oily and dry skin.

A readily absorbed and moisturising oil that contains Vitamin E, it's the perfect addition to any skincare serum and the perfect carrier oil for beginners looking to make their own skin care.

Gorgeous Grapeseed

Grape seed oil has a high Omega 6 and vitamin E + C content. A deeply moisturising and light oil, it helps to retain skins elasticity and to even out skin tone, leaving you with soft, luscious skin
