The Perfect Facial Oil Exists
Silky and quick to absorb with a subtle rose scent
Silky and quick to absorb with a subtle rose scent
Having fairly dehydrated skin, I’ve tried dozens and dozens of facial oils over the last decade, always wondering why they leave my skin feeling heavy, oily and way too shiny. They never absorb into my skin and just hang out on my face, essentially needing to be wiped off before I go to bed so I don’t ruin my pillowcase. That said, every facial oil I’ve tried before this one definitely didn’t give me the option to apply in the morning because they wouldn’t sit well under my makeup, but I’ve finally found a winner.

The Rose Nourishing Facial Oil from Apoterra Skincare is lightweight, absorbs into my skin in under a minute, leaving my face soft, plump and glowy. My husband tried it out and had the exact experience, saying that this was going to be an immediate re-order as soon as we ran out. I apply it morning and night as the first product on my face, and I’ve found it’s equally as great under a simple moisturizer and SPF as it is a heavier night creme.

Key Ingredients
Passion fruit oil for its anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and antioxidant properties. (Their passion fruit oil seed oil is upcycled and sourced from a supplier who is commited to sustainable employment, fair-trade operations and promoting Amazonian conservation.)
Chia seed oil: rich in the essential fatty acid Alpha-linolenic, more commonly known as omega-3, and linoleic acid, omega-6. In studies, both have been shown to help restore the skin barrier improving skin's moisture, especially for those who experience dry skin states.
Rosehip oil: extremely high in essential fatty acids Omega 3, 6 and 9, which provide regenerative properties for compromised skin. Cold pressed, unrefined and certified organic.
coQ10 (Ubiquinone): a naturally occurring antioxidant present in human cells. When applied topically it works as a barrier to keep free radicals at bay and enhances the skin's ability to regenerate itself.
Rose absolute: It takes 100 roses to create 1 drop of this magical oil. When applied topically, it helps improve skin health, increase skin hydration and also prevent breakouts thanks to its antibacterial properties. Studies have also shown that rose absolute can help reduce stress (specifically cortisol levels) when the aroma is inhaled. Apoterra’s rose absolute is produced from organically grown damascus roses in Bulgaria, and is GC/MS tested.
Pomegranate oil: useful for cell regeneration and improving the skin's ability to retain moisture. Pomegranate oil is high in flavonoids, antioxidants (including ellagic acid) which help prevent UV damage. It also contains the rare fatty acid omega-5 (punicic acid) which is known to soothe the skin and prevent moisture loss. Cold pressed and unrefined.
Jojoba Oil Floral Infusion: naturally high in Vitamin E and has the chemical makeup that is close to our skin's own sebum, making it a quick absorbing oil. They sun-infuse golden organic jojoba oil with skin healing and organically grown chamomile and calendula to create a deeply nourishing elixir that soothes and restores dry skin.
