Uncomplicated, Fragrance-Free Sensitive Skin Oil
Made for daily use on face and body. The base is high-linoleic sunflower oil infused with Kawakawa, Mānuka and Calendula. Blended in small batches. The result is a light oil that glides on easily and melts in smoothly. Leaves the skin feeling soft and comfortable. No greasy finish.
There is no added fragrance. No essential oils. No vanilla. It smells faintly of the infused botanicals and sunflower oil. Nothing strong. Nothing perfumed. The finish is clean and simple.
How it feels
On the skin, it feels light. Silky. It soaks in fast. Does not leave a heavy feel.
It works well on its own. For a minimal routine. Or with other products, if you use them. Also suitable for massage.
Who it’s for
- Sensitive, dry or easily irritated skin
- Anyone who wants a fragrance-free, plant-based oil
