Key Ingredients & Why They Work:

Tetra C // This stable, oil-soluble form of vitamin C (Tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate) penetrates deep into the skin, where it brightens skin tone and enhances collagen production, resulting in a more even, radiant complexion. Tetra C C also protects the skin from oxidative stress.

Rosehip Oil CO2// Our body oil contains both rosehip oil & a supercritical CO2 extracts of rosehip oil for maximum skin benefits. When applied topically, rosehip oil & extract improves skin hydration, elasticity, and texture due to high concentrations of essential fatty acids and antioxidants. It may also help improve overall skin tone, promote regeneration and collagen synthesis.

Sea Buckthorn Berry Oil // Our supercritical CO2 Sea Buckthorn Berry Oil extract (not to be confused with sea berry seed oil) is one of the most nutrient-rich plant oils available— loaded with skin-loving, free-radical-fighting compounds such as vitamins A, C, E, fatty acids like Omega 3, 6, 9, phytosterols, flavonoids, and the highest percentage available of the very rare Omega 7. When applied topically, it helps regenerate skin, improve skin hydration, enhance elasticity, protect against UV damage, & reduce signs of aging. Our oil is certified organic, Fair Trade and sourced from the Himalayas. The sea berries are sustainably hand-harvested and the producer is committed to protect valuable local natural resources and support local communities and families.

Calendula & Chamomile Infusion // We freshly make this infusion in house every time we make a batch of our body oil. Calendula helps improve skin hydration, supports collagen production, & enhances skin elasticity, helping improve skin firmness. Chamomile soothes skin irritation and promotes regeneration due to anti-inflammatory compounds like chamazulene & helps reduce signs of aging due to its antioxidant properties. Our infusion is made with certified organic whole flowers.

Evening Primrose Oil // What makes this oil unique is its high GLA (gamma linolenic acid) content! GLA strengthens the skin's natural barrier, helping to retain moisture. This is especially helpful for dry or compromised skin that tends to lose water quickly. GLA contributes to the production of ceramides, which supports skin elasticity and firmness. It is also extremely soothing, helping calm redness & irritation. Our evening primrose oil is certified organic.

Olive Oil // Our olive oil is freshly milled on an annual basis, organically-grown & nutrient-rich - which gives it a beautiful, deep green color. Olive oil helps improve skin barrier function and hydration due to high squalene content. It works well to rehydrate dry skin and is high in oleic acid, palmitic and linoleic acid which all help seal in moisture and improve skin’s overall barrier functions. It also helps to protect the skin from oxidative stress, preventing the breakdown of collagen. Our olive oil is sustainably & organically farmed in California from a producer that uses the highest efficiency irrigation and water conservation systems.

How to Use the Vitamin C Body Oil

As Your Daily Nourishing Body Oil

Massage Vitamin C Body Oil into clean skin using slow, sweeping motions. As you apply, take a few deep breaths and enjoy the grounding botanical aroma as part of your daily self-care ritual.

For optimal absorption and a silky, lightweight finish, apply to damp skin immediately after bathing or showering. This helps lock in moisture and leaves skin feeling soft, smooth, and nourished. Use daily or as often as desired.

For a Lightweight Lotion-Like Experience

Apply the body oil to wet or damp skin to create a light, fast-absorbing emulsion that delivers lasting hydration without feeling heavy. This method helps the oil spread easily while leaving skin feeling supple, comfortable, and radiant.

Create a Luxurious Hydration Ritual

For an elevated body care experience, mist your skin with our Rose Essential Hydration Mist before applying the oil. Layering hydration in this way helps support moisture retention while enhancing the silky feel of the body oil.

Pro Tip

Apply immediately after showering while skin is still damp to maximize hydration and achieve a smooth, radiant finish.
