This yummy facial elixir contains Raspberry seed oil, a rich source of polyunsaturated fatty acids (think Omega 3, 6 and 9) and nourishing protective antioxidants such as bioflavonoids, tocopherols and tocotrienols, and phytosterols, plus it smells divine! Along with the raspberry seed oil is Calendula officinalis herbal infusion. Calendula is well known for its many benefits for the skin including wound healing and simply supporting the skins health and beauty.
The essential oils we chose for this beautiful facial elixir include: Cultivated carrot seed (not wild), Lavender, and Cistus, all of which support healthy cellular regeneration, reduce inflammation, and nourish the skin.
