How to use it
Morning, evening, or both. There's nothing in it to build up to.
Warm it in your palms
Two or three drops, rubbed between the hands. Cold oil spreads badly and you end up using more.
Press it on last
Over any serum or cream, never under. Give it a moment and take it down the neck too.
Spare drop for lips and cuticles
Whatever's left on your hands has somewhere to go. Dry patches, lips, the skin round your nails.
A blend, or a single oil
Most facial oils are one plant in a bottle. This is eleven, and the certification to back the claim up.

What's inside and why it's there
Twenty-one ingredients, 100% of natural origin and 63% organic, certified COSMOS Organic by Ecocert. No water, no preservatives. Gluten free and vegan, no GMO ingredients, recyclable packaging. Contains organic sweet almond oil, so it is not nut free.
Organic Certified, and Countable
Every organically farmed ingredient carries a mark on the INCI. Count them and you get eleven — which is where the 63% organic figure and the COSMOS Organic certification come from. Claims like this are usually impossible to check. This one isn't.
Organic Jojoba + Argan
Jojoba opens the formula and argan sits seventh, with organic avocado, apricot kernel, borage, evening primrose and plum seed oils behind them. Vitamin E runs through the lot.
Tomato, Sea Buckthorn + Cloudberry
Organic fruit extracts placed high — tomato is third, sea buckthorn fourth. They're antioxidant-rich and they're the reason the oil has the colour it does.
Questions people ask before buying
No. This oil contains organic sweet almond oil, and it is one of the few products in our range that isn't labelled nut free. If you have a tree nut allergy, don't assume consistency across our other products — read this ingredient list and speak to your doctor before using it.
Yes, and you can check. Every organically farmed ingredient carries a symbol on the INCI on this page — count the marks and you'll find eleven of the twenty-one. That's what puts the formula at 63% organic content.
Less than you'd expect. Undecane and tridecane, both plant-derived, carry the oils into skin and then lift off, so the finish is soft rather than slick. Two drops is plenty — nearly all greasiness comes from using too much.
Not by itself. There's no water in the bottle, so what it does is hold moisture in rather than bring any. On dehydrated skin, use a water-based serum first and this on top of it.
Yes. It's formulated for the face but there's nothing in it that objects to dry lips, cuticles or a rough patch on an elbow. Whatever's left on your fingers after your face has somewhere useful to go.
It's the higher of the two COSMOS tiers. The Natural standard governs where ingredients come from and how a product is made; Organic adds minimum thresholds for how much of the formula is organically farmed. This oil clears them at 63% organic and 100% natural origin, certified by Ecocert Greenlife.
Microbes need water to grow, and there isn't any in here. An oil-only formula doesn't need preserving the way a cream or a water-based serum does, which is how the list stays at twenty-one ingredients with vitamin E as the only thing keeping the oils fresh.
Probably not this one. It's built for dry and mature skin and it's rich — argan, avocado and almond are not light oils. If your skin already makes plenty of its own, look for something lighter rather than trying to make this work.
Warm and unusual — dried fruit with a little spice behind it, over the soft nuttiness the oils bring on their own. Four allergens are declared on the INCI: linalool, limonene, citronellol and geraniol.
Put it over
Oils go on last. Something water-based underneath gives this more to hold in.
