Introducing our latest innovation: a luxurious body oil infused with Bakuchiol, a natural alternative to Retinol. Bakuchiol is renowned for its gentle exfoliating properties. Our team has extensive experience with Bakuchiol, collaborating with Victoria Health several years ago to explore its remarkable benefits. This fast-absorbing, lightweight ingredient harmoniously blends with our new oil formulation, offering a nourishing experience that leaves your skin feeling rejuvenated and pampered. Even if you're typically hesitant about body oils, this product will transform your skincare routine, providing deep hydration and promoting a radiant complexion.
Bakuchiol is a natural compound celebrated for its anti-aging, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial properties and ability to improve skin tone. 
Bakuchiol is generally well tolerated and more photostable than retinol. It is not known to increase sun sensitivity the way traditional retinoids can, making it a popular option for sensitive skin. As always, daily sunscreen is recommended.
Indulge in the exquisite formula we have put together just for you! Below are the primary advantages of each ingredient:

1. Sunflower Seed Oil: Rich in vitamin E and fatty acids, it moisturizes and protects the skin barrier.
2. Chardonnay Grapeseed Oil: Lightweight and high in antioxidants, it aids in skin repair and elasticity.
3. Apricot Kernel Oil: Nourishes and softens the skin, suitable for sensitive skin types.
4. Squalane Oil: Mimics the skin's natural oils, providing deep hydration without a greasy feel.
5. Prickly Pear Seed Oil: Contains essential fatty acids and vitamin E, promoting skin elasticity and brightness.
6. Sea Buckthorn (Seed and Berry) Oil: Packed with vitamins and omega fatty acids, they support skin regeneration and combat dryness.
7. Bakuchiol Oil: A natural alternative to retinol, it helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and improves skin tone.
8. Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate Is an oil-soluble, stable vitamin C known for its antioxidant properties, which help prevent lipid peroxidation. Topical applications can reduce the harmful effects of UV exposure. Research indicates that it stimulates collagen synthesis, clarifies, and brightens the skin by inhibiting melanogenesis (the production of pigment), which promotes a more even skin tone. Unlike ascorbic acid, it does not exfoliate or irritate the skin.

Shelf Life and Storage Information for Our Products and Ingredients

Finished Products - generally don't need to be refrigerated as they are preserved, but you can refrigerate them to extend their shelf life. The shelf life for most products is 9-12 months. Vitamin C Serum(s) and VitaResurface products should continually be refrigerated to extend their shelf life.
Sample Sizes - do have a shorter shelf life (generally 3-6 months), and items in jars can dry up quicker than this if the lid is not tightened well enough (Vitamin C Serums - use within 90 days).

Please Keep Your Products Out of Humidity, Heat, Direct Light and in a Dark Cabinet When Possible 

Exfoliating Acid - products have a shelf life of 9-12 months. The only things we don't suggest refrigerating are the Mandelic Acid Serums or Salicylic Acid Serums, as they can crystallize in the refrigerator. If this happens, you can set the product into a hot water bath to see if the crystals will dissolve.

Additional Items That Require Refrigeration and/or Kept in the Dark

Hydrosols and Distillates - remove 1 ounce of hydrosol and add it to a separate, sterilized spray bottle and spritzer. Keep the larger bottle in the refrigerator.
Carrier and Exotic Oils - generally refrigerate all carrier oils, although some very rich oils will solidify. This is fine. All you have to do is take the oil out, warm it up at room temperature, and it should liquefy. If not, set the bottle in a hot water bath and occasionally shake the bottle, which will hopefully turn into a liquid. Some oils, like coconut cream and jojoba oil, have a super long shelf life.    

Refrigeration of The Following Ingredients is Not Necessary, But it Won't hurt

Essential Oils - essential oils are best stored in a cool, dark place.   
Co2 Extracts - these should continually be refrigerated.
Butters - we suggest refrigerating our "skincare" butters. You can remove
what you need and keep the rest in the fridge.
Clays - keep in a dry, dark place. Shelf life is at least 2 years.
Herbs All herbs <i>(whole or ground)</i> should be kept in a dark, cool, and dry location.
Herbal (liquid) Extracts are created using grain alcohol. The alcohol pulls the constituents (properties) from each herb, root, trunk, leaf, and flower. They have a shelf life of 3-5 years.
They can be stored in the refrigerator or a dark, dry place.
Other Raw Ingredients - such as Sodium PCA, Honeyquat, Oat Beta Glucan, etc., will all have different shelf lives.

Shipping Transit Note:
Some customers have asked whether products can be affected by time in transit, especially during warmer months. Our products are formulated and preserved to remain stable during normal shipping times and should not spoil simply from being in transit.

That said, if you are concerned about heat exposure, you are welcome to add an ice pack to your order for extra peace of mind. Click here to add an ice pack.
