Inspired by a light oil I used to make for summers, this blend of Lavender, Chamomile and Geranium is perfect for everyday care. Chosen for their amazing multitasking abilities and wide range of benefits, these three flower oils are all round beneficial for skin to soothe, calm and balance and are suitable for sensitive skin too. Infused with soothing, gentle flowers of Chamomile and Calendula.

Plant Powers:
Rosehip Oil: Rich in essential fatty acids, vitamin E, vitamin C and B-carotene offers youth enhancing benefits and while penetrating deep into the skin to nourish skin cells
Hemp oil: Skin regenerative with a good ratio of omega 6 + Omega 3 (similar to the human body’s need), moisturising.
Jojoba Oil: Jojoba's close chemical similarity to sebum, (the oil produced by the body) allows it to form a protective layer on the skin to seal in moisture.
Calendula Officinalis: the delicate petals of Pot Marigold, a very useful herb promoting relier and soothing irritated skin. This is gentle enough for sensitive and delicate skin even for babies. In fact you will find this as an ingredient in many baby products and nappy rash creams.
Lavandula Augustofolia: The oil of fragrant flowers of Lavender is brilliant for pretty much anything! From treating burns to promoting sleep, Lavender oil is said to be anti-fungal, anti-viral and creates a relaxing feeling.
Chamomile: This plant has ben used for inflammatory conditions for centuries is antiseptic, relaxing and suitable for sensitive skin types. Chamomile is also noted for promoting tissue regeneration and used to relieve certain types of eczema.
Geranium: One of my favourite essential oils, not least for its lovely smell. Good for feeling balances, healing old scars and marks, and encouraging even skin pigmentation.
