This ‘liquid gold’ is a skincare ingredient of mythical proportions. Sacred Frankincense is the ‘oil of kings’ as it was selected solely for royalty and contains 20% more of the active compound alpha-pinene than other types of Frankincense. This makes it the most therapeutic type of Frankincense to be found in the world. It has anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties while lightening pigmentation, smoothing wrinkles and improving the skin’s elasticity. Found in: Integrative Serum
Sacred Frankincense
It takes tens of thousands of rose blossoms, picked as they are unfolding in the early hours of dawn, to yield 30ml of rose essential oil. That makes rose oil one of the most precious and valuable essential oils. Rose oil contains more than 95 compounds, among them vitamin C, quercetin, flavonoids and anthocyanins. It is antioxidant, antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory treating redness and acne while promoting healthy ageing. Found in: Integrative Serum
Rose
In order to get the most benefit from this therapeutic grade essential oil, the sandalwood tree must grow for at least 40–80 years before the roots can be harvested. Its main benefits are its anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer and anti-viral effects. It is rich in santalols - sesquiterpenes which have been shown in a study conducted in 2014 to behave similarly to non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications while other studies show benefit for acne and dermatitis. Found in: Integrative Serum
Sacred Sandalwood
Two primary active compounds are found in myrrh, called terpenoids and sesquiterpenes, both of which have anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, anti-cancer and antioxidant effects. Its ability to soothe irritated skin makes Myrrh useful in dermatitis and acne. Myrrh has been shown in studies to be powerful against the notorious Staph Aureus which creates such havoc in our skin. It has been used for centuries in wound healing. Found in: Integrative Serum
Myrrh
This oil is precious, requiring 7kg of pomegranate seeds to produce just 1 litre of oil. It contains punicic acid: a potent anti-inflammatory which protects skin from free radicals and sun damage while simultaneously healing skin. It is intensely nourishing while boosting collagen production and increasing the skin’s elasticity and cell turnover resulting in more youthful, radiant skin. Found in: Integrative Serum, NovA Oil, SupernovA Oil, 3D Defense SPF50 Mineral Sunscreen
Pomegranate seed oil
Our cold-pressed rosehip oil is composed of nearly 89% essential fatty acids such as Omega 3, 6 and 9 which plump up the skin by boosting collagen and elastin. It is high in Trans-retinoic Acid, a natural form of Vitamin A that converts to Retinol making it a natural choice for brightening the skin and combating acne. Vitamin E provide rosehip oil with antioxidant powers and also helps to regenerate the skin while anthocyanin calms and soothes inflammation. Found in: Integrative Serum, NovA Oil, SupernovA Oil
Rosehip oil
Blue Tansy is derived from the steam distillation of the Tanacetum annum flowering plant native to northern Morocco. This therapeutic grade essential oil contains naturally high levels of chamazulene which in addition to giving the oil its beautiful blue color, works to reduce the appearance of redness and soothe dry skin. It is intensely anti-inflammatory and packs an antioxidant punch, making it a great addition for those with eczema, rosacea or acne.

Full Ingredient List

How to Use

Half a dropper is recommended. Rub your palms together to activate the botanical super-ingredients and take a moment to create a scent-tent with your palms. Cup your hands over your face and allow yourself to inhale deeply for 3-5 full breaths. Gently press your warmed hands over the face, neck and décolletage until the oil has been entirely absorbed. Don’t be surprised if you are stopped and asked what new scent you are wearing. It smells that amazing.

(Think of this as therapy for both skin and soul. Take the time during the inhalations to focus on mindfulness.)
