Extra Virgin Plant Oils

Next on our lineup we have our Extra Virgin Plant Oils. For summer, we love Rose Hip, Carrot and Calendula. Carrot helps prepare the skin for sun and gives a natural healthy glow. Rosehip helps restore devitalized skin and lock in moisture. Finally, we have Calendula. This oil is great for all skin types and is one of our favorites thanks to its gentle, calming nature. Calendula is great for dry or sensitive skin as well as areas that have had a bit too much sun.

All of these oils are great to pair with our hydrosols and single note essential oils for extra benefits.
