Ingredients – Only Natural & Organic

I trained in Aromatherapy and Natural product making for 2 years with the Neal’s Yard Remedies Aromatherapy and Essential Oils Science Diploma. I only use pure and natural ingredients, no harsh chemicals or cheap fillers as can often be found in even the most expensive brands. All the products that I blend are fresh, and should keep well for a year if stored in the cool and dark, or up to 2 years if kept in the fridge. I do not usually use preservatives as I make smaller quantities more frequently – the fresh is best approach. However, if required I use Propolis, a natural resin collected from plants and botanical sources by bees. My ingredients where possible are organic and my essential oils of the highest quality from a supplier who only sells to professional aromatherapists.

Essential Oils

My most beloved! Any client will know I love my essential oils and can chat at length about them (and frequently do!). I use over 120 different essential oils. In the unlikely event of me not having the essential oil you would like I can easily order these in for you. My essential oils of the highest quality from my wonderful supplier and fellow therapist, Alan Howell at Shechina Essential Oils, who only sells to professional aromatherapists and has spent many years ethically sourcing the most high quality essential oils.

Essential Oils

I am happy to discuss these in order to choose the best type of blend for your individual needs – which may vary with time and circumstances. However, these are the oils particularly effective by skin type and need:

Rose is a natural emollient and is particularly good for moisturising dry skin

Dry skin

• Rose: brilliant for moisture, softness & scar reduction – and smells amazing!
• Frankincense: has been used for rejuvenation, an anti-ageing oil used for thousands of years
• Myrrh: commonly used with Frankincense as it has many similar properties
• Sandalwood: used for both its natural moisturising and preserving abilities

Other oils: Lavender, Jasmine, Neroli, Calendula, Cedarwood, Chamomile

Geranium is one of the most balancing of the essential oils, and this is also true in skincare, making it excellent for combination skin

Combination/Normal skin

• Geranium: balancing, so good for combination skin – it gives moisture for dry areas & sebum balancing for more oily areas
• Palmarosa: sebum balancing, removes impurities without stripping natural oils from the skin
• Ylang-Ylang: sebum balancing

Other oils: Mandarin, Vetiver, Orange

Lemon is a natural astringent, making it a good choice for oily skin

Oily skin/Problem skin/Spots

Lavender is known as ‘the mother of all oils’ and is extremely well-tolerated by even sensitive skin

Sensitive skin

For scars and skin-healing Rosehip seed is my absolute go-to oil. It’s emollient skin-softening properties have to be felt to be believed

Scar Reduction – post operative/old scars/stretch marks

• Rosehip Seed oil
• Frankincense
• Rose
• Patchouli
