St Johns Wort Oil
Description
Macerated St. John's Wort oil is an effective, soothing massage oil which can either be used on its own, as part of a base oil blend or blended with essential oils.
St John’s Wort Infused Oil is great for skincare. Thanks to its soothing and calming nature, it is ideal for those with particularly dry or irritated skin. It works well as an all over moisturiser and it is an emollient which helps support the skin barrier function.
We use Sunflower Oil in our St John’s Wort Infused Oil as it is an excellent oil for macerations and it has great skincare benefits itself. Packed with Linoleic and Oleic essential fatty acids and containing Lecithin, Sunflower Oil is an effective moisturiser, hydrating and nourishing the skin.
St John’s Wort contains an active constituent called Hypericin, which is responsible for that distinctive red colour. Hypericin can be phototoxic so if you are concerned about photosensitivity, try our other St John’s Wort Hypericin Free which does not contain Hypericin.
Certified cruelty free and vegan friendly.
How to Use
Massage
Combine St John’s Wort Infused Oil with your favourite essential oils for a calming and nourishing massage oil blend. It has a medium skin penetration rate, so it is ideal for use in massage as it stays on the skin the ideal amount of time to perform the massage without leaving it greasy. Here at Naissance, we love Orange (#105), Lavender (#102) and Marjoram (#127) for a relaxing massage.
Skincare
You can use St John’s Wort Infused Oil on its own as a body oil or as a gentle yet effective make up remover. St John’s Wort Infused is an excellent addition to your homemade skincare formulations in place of a carrier oil. Can be used to make your own creams, lotions, balms, body oil and hair treatments.
Beauty Hack
