Fast Absorbing

Our facial oils have been crafted for all skin types, with our facial oils designed to work as a fast absorbing, light, and moisturising day oil, and our body rituals as a. deep, heavy, rich and nourishing night oil. Both can be used on the face, however the body rituals due to their thicker consistency are best used at night.

Our facial oils are for all day skin conditioning and protection, you can use as a primer under an oil based foundation. Please note that this oil does not offer UV protection, and should be used in direct sunlight with a natural SPF.

Our oils utilise all that earth's plants has to offer. Vitamins A,B,C,D,E, K for healing, stimulating collagen production, and regenerating healthy skin cells.

Natural Retinol (Vitamin A derivative)
increases skin cell production (proliferation). It helps unclog pores.

Natural Peptides to stimulate your skin to make collagen. More collagen can lead to firmer, healthier-looking skin

Retinol also exfoliates
your skin and increases collagen production, which can reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, giving your skin a fresher, plump appearance.

Potassium and calcium helps facilitate water pathways in the skin to ensure moisture
balance and strengthen the skin barrier by reorganising the different lipid structures in the skin.

Combining ancient smoke rituals and Middle Eastern traditions with modern advancements, we have created products that actively improve the skin's condition by stimulating the nervous system - connecting us to our ancestral relationship with fire and wood.
