How to use it
Morning or evening — though the citrus scent suits the end of the day for a lot of people.
Two to four drops
That's a whole face. Warm them between your palms — cold oil spreads badly and tempts you into using more.
Press on last
Over serums and creams, never under them. Oils always sit above anything thinner than they are.
Then everywhere else
Neck, décolleté, elbows, cuticles. Whatever's still on your hands has somewhere to be.
One bottle, or three
Face oils and body oils are usually sold separately. This is formulated to cover both and the bits in between.

What's inside and why it's there
99% of natural origin and 62% organic, certified COSMOS Organic by Ecocert. No water, no preservatives. Vegan, GMO free, recyclable packaging. Contains oat kernel oil and sweet almond oil, so it is neither gluten free nor nut free.
Olive, Oat + Tomato
Organic olive fruit oil and oat kernel oil aren't what you normally find in a face oil, and tomato fruit extract even less so. They sit beside the jojoba, rosehip, sea buckthorn and avocado doing the more familiar work.
Undecane + Tridecane
Plant-derived and volatile — they take the heavier oils down into the skin and then leave. Without them, fifteen plant oils on your face would feel exactly like fifteen plant oils on your face.
Certified COSMOS Organic
Ecocert's stricter tier, which sets a floor for how much of a formula must come from organic farming. Eleven ingredients here carry the organic symbol — they're marked on the list if you want to check the arithmetic.
Questions people ask before buying
No. Oat kernel oil is in the blend, which puts this outside gluten free. Almost everything else we make carries that label and this doesn't, so it's worth checking rather than assuming.
No — sweet almond oil is third on the list. Between that and the oat, this is the one product in our range that sits outside both the nut free and the gluten free labels. Anyone with a nut allergy should take the ingredient list to their doctor first.
Two to four for the whole face, adjusted for how dry your skin is and how much glow you're after. More than that has nowhere to go and is where the greasy feeling comes from.
Yes. It's formulated for facial skin first, but the neck, décolleté and any stubborn dry patch are all fair game — that's what the all-in-one bit refers to.
Not with undecane and tridecane in there. They're light, plant-derived and volatile — they carry the richer oils in and then lift off, leaving a soft finish rather than a film. Stick to a few drops and you'll see what we mean.
Noticeably. Bergamot, bitter orange, lemon peel and spearmint give it a sparkling citrus character, and eleven allergens are declared on the INCI as a result — the longest list in our range. Patch test for 24 hours if fragrance is ever a problem, and many people prefer wearing citrus scents in the evening.
It's the stricter of Ecocert's two standards. Both cover sourcing and manufacturing, but the Organic tier additionally requires a minimum share of the formula to come from organic farming. This blend clears it at 62% organic, on 99% natural origin.
Preservatives protect water, and there isn't a drop in the bottle. An oil blend has nothing for microbes to grow in, so vitamin E is all that's needed — and it's there to keep the oils themselves from turning rather than to protect you.
Not on its own. Oils hold moisture in rather than putting any there. If your skin is genuinely dehydrated, apply something water-based first and use this over the top to stop it evaporating away.

An oil holds moisture in. Put something water-based underneath it to hold in.
