This Facial Moisturizing Oil is a Whole Botanical/PUFA-Free product. That is to say it is a gentle, well-integrated, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, very moisturizing oil for our sensitive facial skin. It is also to say it is free of PUFA's, or polyunsaturated fatty acids-oils that are from seeds and nuts, and very unstable and easily oxidized in or on the body. Oxidation causes stress (early maturation), sun intolerance, and unevenness (spots) among other things for our skin. Whole Botanical is another way of saying it is free of essential oils. The extracts are done using the fresh or dried plant material at peak vitality and are gentle and potent for daily use. The use of essential oils daily on our bodies, from shampoo, to moisturizers, to cleansers, toners, masks, peels, body scents, and on and on is toxifying, too much. This product is my baby, with garden-grown organic calendula blossoms, marshmallow leaf, and violet leaf in jojoba oil, and a little olive oil. Every bit of it local. (Jojoba is a California desert plant!) Gentle, nourishing, hydrating and healing. Get a full glow on with this earthy and simple oil.
Contains all organic jojoba oil, calendula blossoms, marshmallow leaf, violet leaf, and olive oil.

This charming, well curated shop is a treasure chest of quality herbal products made with utmost care and love. The owner makes almost all of the products herself, using her very extensive knowledge and experience of all things herb-related. A lot of the herbs used are grown and ethically foraged by her. She is a wealth of information and is well-known and respected in our community. I have used her products for several years now, and have been extremely satisfied with their quality and effectiveness. The herbal facial oils are make my skin soft and not oily at all. Some of my other favorites are the hybiscus blend tea (excellent as an iced tea), the hair oil (smells great and makes my dry hair super soft), and the rose - calendula cream. This is the best herbal product store in Sacramento area and I highly recommend it.
