Why a body oil?

We have a new product we think you will love! We are finishing up our testing ( we test new items for at least 6 months). As many of you know, I started this brand to be more intentional about what I use in my everyday life. One area we hadn’t touched on oil blends aside from our beard care.

I developed rosacea a few years ago, and anyone who also has it knows how fucking awful it is. Mine is mild in comparison, and it isn’t even the redness that gets me frustrated; it is the breakout and burning of my skin. This isn’t a vanity want, it is a comfort want. I have a prescription cream and sure it works, and I am not anti meds, but if I can find something that helps with no chemicals, I want it.

What it is?

So I did a lot of research on the oils we currently have, including their benefits and properties. In that search, I also found some really potent additions that target many of my issues. Inflammation, broken skin barrier, and dryness.

Simply put, this is a straight oil, no fragrance, no masking agents, just natural oils at their most basic origin. It includes:

• Grapeseed Oil
• Jojoba Oil
• Almond
• Watermelon Oil
• Organic Pomegranate Seed Oil
• Black Seed Oil
• Noni Fruit Seed Oil
• Amla Oil
• Vitamin E Oil
• Seaweed Extract

How to use?

I use it mostly on my face as that is the area I have the most issues with inflammation, but its unique properties can work everywhere. Just a little goes a long way, and it can boost your whole body!

Disclaimer

It is best to speak with a healthcare professional before using any of these oils, especially if you are:

• Pregnant
• have a chronic skin condition, like eczema or psoriasis
• taking medications

This information is for reference only. These recommendations have not been evaluated by the FDA and are not meant to treat, cure or remedy any diseases.

Read on for each unique oil’s properties!

• support skin barrier structure and effectiveness
• prevent skin water loss and dry skin
• boost wound healing, cell restoration, and collagen production
• prevent bacterial growth

• It mimics the skin’s natural lipids, helping to seal in moisture, improve elasticity, and repair the skin barrier.
• Studies show it calms irritation and is effective for conditions like hand dermatitis, eczema, and psoriasis, often when combined with ingredients like colloidal oatmeal.
• With the high Vitamin E properties, it helps fight free radicals and protects against sun related aging.
• It could help even skin tone, fade dark spots, reduce under-eye circles, and smooth scars.
• With its fatty acids, it can help dissolve excess oil, and retinoids in the oil may improve cell turnover, potentially helping acne. 

• This oil has detoxification properties that can cleanse the skin and clarify pores.
• Also, some anti-aging properties that could combat wrinkles and premature aging.
• It is suitable for all skin types. It is a light, fast-absorbing oil.
• It can soften skin texture.
• It can soothe irritated and inflamed skin.

Research ⁷ has shown:

• Rich in antioxidants that fight environmental toxins, boost collagen, resulting in firmer skin and fewer wrinkles.
• Reduces inflammation, redness, and swelling, which again is helpful for conditions like psoriasis, eczema, and sunburnt skin.
• Promotes skin cell growth and regeneration, supports wound healing, and can improve the appearance of scars.
•  Enhances skin’s moisture levels, strengthens the skin barrier, and improves texture and softness.
• Shows effectiveness against some bacteria, fungi, and infections, helping with blemishes

Research⁸ has shown:

• Fights P. acnes bacteria and inflammation; a 2020 study ⁹ found a 10% BSO lotion reduced acne lesions significantly.
• Reduces redness, irritation, and flare-ups by calming inflammation; a 2022 review ¹⁰ found it effective for eczema, and studies suggest it helps psoriasis symptoms.
• Stimulates tissue growth and repair due to thymoquinone.
• Rich in fatty acids (Omega-6, 9) and vitamins (A, B, C) that strengthen the skin’s moisture barrier and improve elasticity. 

• Noni contains compounds like iridoids and flavonoids that scavenge free radicals, reduce oxidative stress, and inhibit inflammation (COX-2/5-LOX pathways), protecting skin and promoting healing.
• Studies validate traditional uses, showing noni promotes faster wound closure, reduces infection, and supports tissue regeneration by stimulating collagen synthesis.
• Noni seed oil (NSO) was found to be non-comedogenic (i.e., it doesn’t clog pores) and reduced both open and closed comedones, suggesting anti-acne potential.
• Essential fatty acids and other compounds help moisturize, refresh, and give skin a luminous, balanced look, supporting the moisture barrier. 

This is full of benefits:¹² 

• Helps skin retain moisture, softens skin, and creates a protective barrier, beneficial for dry or sensitive skin.
• Reduces redness, irritation, and symptoms in inflammatory conditions like eczema and psoriasis; people with these conditions often have lower Vitamin E levels.
• May reduce fine lines, roughness, and improve skin radiance, tone, and elasticity, supporting skin regeneration and healing.
• Animal studies and anecdotal evidence suggest it can reduce dark spots and create a more even skin tone, but more human research is needed.
• Works well with Vitamin C for superior photoprotection and skin brightening.

• Rich in polyphenols, vitamins (C, E), and other antioxidants that neutralize free radicals and protect against environmental damage and UV stress.
• Contains compounds that enhance moisture retention, strengthen the skin barrier, and provide deep hydration.
• Soothes sensitive skin, reduces redness, and helps with conditions like eczema and rosacea by calming inflammation.
• Can regulate sebum production, control oil, and has antimicrobial properties, making it great for oily or acne-prone skin.
