Cleansing Oil Ingredients

Organic Jojoba Oil

Jojoba oil has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties. Studies have shown jojoba oil to be an excellent emollient agent, meaning it increases the softness and suppleness of skin without leaving it feeling oily or greasy. Jojoba oil also shares a similar composition to skin sebum, which allows it to easily absorb and seamlessly integrate into the skin.

Wild-Crafted Abyssinian Oil

Abyssinian oil (Crambe Seed) is extracted from the seeds of Crambe abyssinica, an annual plant native to Ethiopia. This oil is highly concentrated with erucic acid, a fatty acid known to absorb easily into the skin. This makes Abyssinian oil a perfect partner for tallow, as it can enhance the absorption of tallow's fat-soluble vitamins and minerals. In addition to this, Abyssinian Oil is a 0 on the comedogenic scale, meaning it does not clog pores and blends well with all skin types. 

Organic Milk Thistle

Milk Thistle oil is a light, clear, odorless oil known for its potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. It is cold-pressed from the seeds of Silybum marianum (Milk Thistle), which is a flowering plant originating in the warm sunny meadows of Southern Europe. The oil of this beautiful plant is saturated with Silymarin, a complex mixture of bioactive compounds that act as powerful antioxidants. Silymarin has been shown to prevent excess oil production in the skin and protect it from environmental stressors like UV rays and free radicals. In one scientific study, a Silymarin-rich serum was shown to greatly improve acne, hyperpigmentation, and redness of the skin. Due to its antioxidant-rich composition, Milk Thistle oil provides extreme nourishment and protection for the skin and decreases oil production, leaving the skin looking clean, even and bright.

Organic Castor Oil

Castor oil is an oil extracted from the Ricinus communis (castor bean) plant which originates in the southeastern Mediterranean Basin, East Africa, and India. Castor oil has a wide array of therapeutic and medicinal properties and has been used traditionally by ancient civilizations to treat skin inflammation, irritation, and detoxification. Castor beans have been found in Egyptian tombs dating back to 4000 BC, and it is even said that Cleopatra would use castor oil for her beauty treatments. This oil’s timeless popularity is no doubt due to its unique fatty acid composition, which makes it extremely stable and difficult to oxidize. Because of this, castor oil can hydrate, heal, and protect the skin without degrading in various conditions.

Organic Orange Peel

Orange peel essential oil is steam-distilled from the rinds of Vitamin C-rich organic oranges. Because this oil is concentrated with calcium and Vitamin C, it is utilized to improve collagen production, decrease hyperpigmentation, and protect against premature aging of the skin. 

Organic Ginger

Extracted from the rhizome of the Ginger plant, this medicinal oil exhibits anti-inflammatory benefits that have been utilized for centuries. Ginger is known for its relaxing and soothing nature, which translates over to its calming effects for the skin. The components in this oil can help calm inflammation, which contributes to a smoother and more vibrant skin tone. 

Organic Geranium (pelargonium graveolens)

Geranium is an essential oil derived from pelargonium graveolens, a pale pink flowering plant originating in South Africa. The major components of this essential oil are citronellol and geraniol which are compounds that exhibit anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activity. Because of this, rose geranium is frequently used to calm inflammatory skin conditions, creating a smoother and more even complexion.  In addition to this, the sweet aroma of geranium has been shown to enhance relaxation and decrease anxiety when inhaled.
