Description
Our Softening Face Oil for sensitive and problem skin is a nourishing and repairing yet easily absorbed mixture of just four pure plant oils: repairing argan oil, softening oat oil, soothing raspberry oil and regenerating rosehip oil. Your skin will feel soft and deeply nourished, but with a nearly matte finish.
Thanks to its fatty acid composition, our Softening Face Oil works on all kinds of sensitive and problem skin, including acne- and clog-prone. The right kind of oil is your skin's best friend – it helps lock in moisture by slowing down water loss. And yes, even oily and acne-prone skin needs oils.
The Softening Face Oil is a favourite among our most sensitive skinned and reactive customers, who can't tolerate creams - by pairing the Softening Face Oil with a hydrating product, such as our Balancing Essence Mist, you'll get a moisturiser without emulsifiers, and with less preservatives.
Please remember: an oil does not hydrate your skin, so remember to always use a hydrating product underneath, such as our essences, serums or creams.
Please note, that the Softening Face Oil contains high amounts of argan oil. If you are allergic to nuts, you should always consult your doctor and patch test before using this product.
Ingredients (INCI)
Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil, Avena Sativa Kernel Oil, Rosa Canina Fruit Oil, Rubus Idaeus Seed Oil
Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil: Emollient and skin conditioning
Argan oil. A staple for us. It is obtained from the non-roasted organic kernels of Moroccan Argania Spinosa, i.e. argan nuts. We love it in almost everything, and especially like its repairing qualities. It is slightly higher in oleic acid, but is usually suitable for clog prone skin, as it contains a fair amount of lupeol, a triterpenoid with anti-inflammatory benefits.
Avena Sativa Kernel Oil: Skin conditioning
Oat kernel oil. This dark golden oil has a nearly 50/50 balance of oleic and linoleic acids. From a skincare point of view, it's an excellent skin softener and has some calming properties too. We source our oat oil from Fazer, a Finnish family-owned, 126-year-old food and food service company, who produce their oil in Finland, using Finnish oats. The Finnish-ness matters because a) the soil in Finland produces outstanding quality oats and b) it is quite rare for an oil producer to have a 100% local supply chain.
Rosa Canina Fruit Oil: Emollient and skin conditioning
Rosehip oil. It is rich in linoleic acid and provitamin a, which lends it regenerative properties. It can be beneficial in treating acne, rosacea and pigmentation. Coldpressed and organic.
Rubus Idaeus Seed Oil: Emollient and skin conditioning
Raspberry oil. It contains a large amount of linoleic and alpha linolenic acids, along with vitamin e. Among its central benefits is its ability to soothe skin. Raspberry seed oil may also be useful for treating eczema. Coldpressed and organic.
How to use & tips
Pat 1–4 drops onto clean skin, after essences, serums or creams, while your skin is still slightly moist from these products.
Remember to always use a hydrating product under the Oil: oils in themselves cannot hydrate skin, but prevent water loss. Adjust amount according to your skin's needs; if you need to blot after application you are using too much. Works well under makeup.
Tip 1
For dry skin, 4 drops is usually enough.
Tip 2
For combination skin, 2-3 drops is usually enough.
Tip 3
For oily skin, 1-2 drops is usually enough.
Tip 4
For sensitised and reactive skin, pair the Oil with our Balancing Essence Mist for "No Cream"-hydration.
Suitable for use during pregnancy and while breastfeeding, and is safe to use around the eyes.

Did you know?
An oil softens and conditions skin, but it lacks the capacity to bind water, and because of this cannot hydrate skin. That's why it's always important to pair an oil with a hydrating product, such as en essence, serum or cream.
-
A minimum of ingredients
The Oil contains just four ingredients. Formulated with argan oil to repair, protects and strengthen, Finnish oat oil to soothe and soften, rosehip oil to regenerate and raspberry seed oil for anti-inflammatory properties. Check out our ingredient section above to learn more.
