Materials: all natural mostly organic, essential oils, cobalt blue glass bottle, organic plant oils, organic essential oils, organic co2 extracts

An organic, silky, fruit and flowers superfood serum for skin that thirsts for calming, cooling nourishment and balance.

Cool and blue-green from hemp and german chamomile, brightening from elderflowers and pracaxi oil, soothing and velvety from pomegranate and baobab, light and thirst-quenching from passionfruit seed oil and borage. Made from an abundance of beautiful organic oils that just radiate gentle botanical power. Antioxidant rich, inflammation calming, exceptional skin food.

Small Flowers Face Oil is formulated to benefit all skin types, but is particularly beneficial to skin that's out of balance, hot (red/inflamed), acting out, or otherwise cranky. But this face oil also brims with antioxidants and other plant chemicals that help skin stay supple (i.e. the whole "anti-aging" thing), plus linoleic acid-rich oils which acneic skin needs most of all, and GLA which is helpful for flaking (eczema). Every ingredient is a star, so the plant power is gentle but powerful! This face oil is quite good at helping skin retain moisture, but if you need yet more of a barrier (e.g. on drier areas like cheeks), this does pair well with Deep Radiance Face Cream.

Cobalt blue glass eyedropper bottle.

Scent: When I close my eyes and smell this on my skin, I see a bowl of passionfruit and green citrus greedily picked with leaves and all, strewn with lacy umbels of elderflowers and little chamomile flowers with their mustardy centers. But it's not strong at all, very soft. It's softly planty, but the elderflowers and passionfruit are there if you feel like attending to it.
Texture: a medium-thick oil, applies easily and absorbs after a few moments to a very soft, silky, plush finish

Directions: Cleanse skin and pat dry, leaving skin slightly damp. Apply face oil, a few drops per part of the face (you don't need much!). Gently massage in with the pads of your fingers. Give it a few moments, and then gently massage again, your skin will have absorbed the nourishment.

Ingredients: organic hemp seed oil, organic passionfruit seed oil, organic borage seed oil, organic pomegranate seed oil, organic baobab fruit oil, pracaxi oil, organic rosemary oleoresin, essential oils and organic co2 extracts.

A little background on formulating this face oil:

If you know my line, you might know my Deep Radiance Face Cream https://www.etsy.com/listing/90723353/deep-radiance-face-cream-a-luscious It is my forever favorite and leaves my face wanting for nothing, for years on end. Still, in the same way that I don't eat the same foods every day -- because a body needs and craves a diversity of plants -- I've long thought it'd be good to have an alternative moisturizer with a different texture (to appease different senses), a different smell, made from a different array of plants with all their accompanying energies and phytochemicals.

I've wanted a face oil for the hottest days of summer -- when my skin tends to get a little flushed -- but one that I can also use in the winter. The challenge I have with face oils is that even though I adore so many cold-pressed plant oils, I find they don't provide lasting nourishment, nor enough protection to keep my skin from getting slightly dehydrated -- a bit dry and flaky at at the corners of my mouth, a bit dry and then oily on the forehead and nose as my skin reacts to the dryness. They're usually nice, but just not enough for me to not need to use something else on top! (This is why I've long loved creams and balms for face and body -- well-chosen butters and waxes, when combined with well-chosen oils -- they're just powerhouses at locking in moisture and helping the skin stay hydrated!) For years now I've bought samples of a crazy number of cold-pressed oils to assess their skinfeel and energy, and I've read myriad fatty acid profiles to get a sense of the properties different oils bring to the table. And eventually I found materials that really resonated for me and did the trick. This face oil is a result of this weird hobby! My skin is really into this -- even used alone, during the cold winter of 2021. And I can tell it's providing my skin different sustenance than the usual high quality diet, and my skin is grateful. I hope you are into it too!

No, never -- this is very important to me. My passion, which became my business, stems from my reverence for natural, minimally processed beautiful materials, and from my own profound chemical sensitivities -- so you can be sure that my none of my products will ever contain these sorts of materials. My products are truly, radically all natural.

That's a tough question to answer in a short space. But, in essence: there's no standard definition for what "all natural" means in the bodycare and cosmetic world.* Different people have different definitions, and I often see products labeled "all natural" that contain dubious ingredients.

What I mean by radically all natural is that every single ingredient I use would fit anyone's notion of what it is to be natural. My products are made from simple, elemental, minimally processed ingredients like herbs, clays, essential oils, oils, and beeswax. Good, clean food, basically!

*In fact "all natural" isn't a regulated term, and any company can call their products natural, even if they contain synthetic fragrances, preservatives, etc.!

Quite a while! Typically 1-3 years. I formulate my products to be enjoyed over time, and each product is labeled with its batch number and with an "enjoy by" date. The shelf life depends on the particular oils in the product -- just as you wouldn't cook with olive oil that's a few years old, so also will the natural oils in bodycare go rancid over time. If you get to the end of the stated shelf life and your product still feels and smell fresh (no gumminess to a balm, no whiff of old oil), feel free to keep using it! I am pretty conservative when stating shelf life, so products typically last months longer than indicated.

Away from sunlight and at consistent room temperature is ideal -- your medicine cabinet or a shady dresser top is perfect. No need to store in the fridge. Think of it like how you'd store dried herbs -- sunlight steals the mojo of these products, and heat can dull the aromatics over time. And repeated fluctuations from very warm to very cold can change the texture of body butters and creams,

A few places to *avoid* storing your goodies: in a car (big temperature swings!), on top of a radiator, on a sunny windowsill.

Because my products are made from natural oils, butters, and waxes, they may become softer in very hot weather or harder in cold weather. These texture variations are normal and won't affect the performance of the product.

My products are rich in botanicals, which speak to our bodies in complex, profound ways. But with plants, allergies are always a possibility. Please read ingredients lists, know your own allergies, and ask questions; when in doubt consult your doctor and/or do a patch test. All the descriptions of my products and ingredients are for educational purposes only.

My products are cruelty free and always will be. I am personally against animal testing, and I will never test my products on animals. To be cruelty-free, a company's ingredients must not be tested on animals either. Part of the reason I use simple, natural ingredients with a long history of human use is that they sidestep the supposed "need" for animal testing, because they're already known to be safe.

My products are all vegetarian (like me!), and many are naturally vegan. The only non-vegan ingredients I use are beeswax from local farmers who use good bee-friendly practices, natural lanolin (extracted from sheared sheep's wool), and powdered milk. Many of my products can be made vegan on request -- feel free to convo me!

I try to avoid bringing more packaging into this world! Most of my glass packaging can be returned to me for a refund of $1 per piece. Unfortunately I'm unable to cover shipping expenses, so I recommend saving up a handful of containers before mailing your glass packaging back to me. Convo me for my shipping address; when I receive your packaging, I'll issue you a refund on a previous order or via PayPal.

All of my products are handmade from scratch by me! I formulate and handmake everything in my Vermont home workshop, using only radically all natural, minimally processed ingredients, most of which are organic or wildharvested. I aim to make my products as from-scratch as possible, starting with herbs, some of which I grow, wildharvest, or source from a nearby farm. My workshop is always brimming with herbs infusing in oils and tinctures brewing, raw materials that will end up in my Deep Radiance Face Cream, Balsam Fir Deodorant, Lavender Mud shampoo -- you name it!

Bright flowery silky goodness. I rotate this with the other two facial creams depending on how I’m feeling. Love using this morning or night but I find it super nourishing overnight. My face always glows when I wake up after using this. Other oils I have tried in the past on a rare occasion that I’ve put anything on my face have always made me feel greasy and yucky and sometimes a little itchy? Not at ALL the case here, soaks in, makes my skin feel amazing. Thank you Priya 🥲🥲
