Organic Facial Oils – ‘Liquid Gold’ for Skin

Dubbed ‘liquid gold’ for the skin, natural and organic facial oils have some amazing skin benefits and the potential to transform skin from dull to dazzling! Because the right facial oil can not only brighten your skin, reduce fine lines and wrinkles and keep your skin moisturised but also protect from environmental stressors and even help with acne and outbreaks.

Put simply, facial oils are specially tailored to work with your natural oils to help keep your skin balanced. Our skin naturally makes oils and lipids, which help prevent water loss from our skin and keep it hydrated. Facial oils are substances that help complement our natural oils.

If you think of the skin as a brick wall, the skin cells are the bricks and the oils and lipids are the mortar, which holds the bricks together in place by sealing in moisture and keeping the skin hydrated. Face oils are considered a type of emollient, which means they help strengthen the outer layer of your skin — the stratum corneum — by softening and sealing it, preventing water loss.

But which oil is right for your skin type?

Rosehip Oil (certified organic) – suitable for normal, dry, sensitive and mature. Rich in Tretinoin (trans-retinoic-acid), a naturally occurring derivative of Vitamin A known to stimulate skin cell turnover.

African Marula Oil – suitable for normal, dry and mature skin. Rich in antioxidants Vitamin C and E and phenolic compounds as well as being high in amino acids L-arginine and glutamic acid which have hydrating and anti-aging properties.

Pomegranate Seed Facial Oil (certified organic) - suitable for all skin types, even oily and acne prone skin. Containing a staggering amount of Vitamin C as well as anthocyanins, ellagic acid and tannins, Pomegranate Seed Oil is a veritable antioxidant powerhouse in skin protection.

Watermelon Seed Facial Oil (certified organic) - suitable for all skin types, even oily and acne-prone skin. Touted the ‘acne fighting hero’, Watermelon Seed Oil is rich in linoleic acid works by balancing out the oleic acid naturally abundant in sebum helping to clarify pores and prevent breakouts.

Cacay Facial Oil - suitable for normal, sensitive, dry and mature skin. Cacay Oil is touted as the new ‘miracle oil’ for skin as it contains three times more Retinol (Vitamin A) than Rosehip Oil and is 50% higher in Vitamin E and Linoleic Acid than Argan Oil.

Wild Orchid Facial Oil – suitable for normal, sensitive, dry and mature skin. Exquisitely fragrant and rich in anthocyanins know for their anti-oxidant capabilities.

Studies show Cacay Oil is Proven to Reduce Wrinkles and Increase Skin Elasticity!!

Clinical studies run by Derma Consult in Germany prove Cacay Oil’s
efficacy to reduce wrinkles and to improve hydration, firmness, elasticity and smoothness of the skin.

95% of patients showed a reduction of up to 45% in wrinkles volume, after only 4 weeks of use!!

This study found that Cacay Oil boosts the skin's hydration and elasticity while also visibly smooths out and firms up the appearance of the skin.

Cacay oil contains 50% more vitamin E than argan oil and triple amount of pro-vitamin A compared to rosehip oil.
With such a high linoleic acid content, Cacay Oil is a gentle alternative to various skin brightening ingredients such as hydroquinone, retinol, azelaic acid and retinoic acid.

In addition, new research shows that Cacay Oil (touted ‘Amazonian Gold’) has a multitude of skin loving benefits. According to the study conducted at Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte in Brazil (2020) Cacay Oil has a high concentration of bioactive compounds and is abundant in Linoleic Acid – an omega 6 fatty acid that the skin needs in order to build up its lipid barrier, stay hydrated and protect itself from the elements. The study also demonstrated the significant antioxidant potential of Cacay Oil when compared to Coconut Oil associated with high levels of α-tocopherol and linoleic acid.

🌸 Wild Orchid Facial Oil 30ml 🌸 Antioxidant powerhouse for nourished and protected skin.

Our Wild Orchid Oil contains anthocyanins (part of a larger group of phytochemicals called flavonoids) which are known for their anti-oxidant capabilities. The anti-oxidant power of anthocyanins helps prevent oxidative damage to skin, protecting it from environmental stressors and photoaging caused by ultraviolet radiation (responsible for up to 90% of skin damage).

Moisturising and radiance boosting

Intensely nourishing and soothing facial oil that boosts skin elasticity and promotes cell regeneration so is especially beneficial to maturing skin.

Nutrient rich

In addition to moisturising and protecting the skin, plant-based compounds in our Wild Orchid Oil help stimulate collagen production. The result is skin that is healthier, firmer and well nourished.

Skin protection

Anthocyanin pigments have free radical scavenging abilities up to four times greater than vitamins E and C.

A natural humectant

Our Wild Orchid Oil draws moisture to the skin and locks it in leaving skin feeling soft, supple and protected.

Directions

To use, apply 2-3 drops to the face and neck and gently massage into the skin at night. Alternatively, add 1-2 drops to moisturiser and apply.
