Vegan friendly moisturisers made from certified organic natural plant oils, plus natural vitamin E.
No. 8 Essentials facial moisturising oils are quite possibly New Zealand's only full range of targeted moisturising oils - each formulated for a particular skin type. Using a natural plant oil moisturiser can greatly improve your skin's condition and assist with skin problems such as acne.
These are concentrated products - moisturising lotions generally contain around 80% water - but not these beauties, they are pure goodness, so a little goes a long way.
Acne Prone Skin:
This one is special as the ingredients target acne in three different ways to reduce its occurrence.
- Helps your skin recover and repair from previous acne problems.
- Wonderfully moisturising for your skin
- Can be used in conjunction with the Acne Treatment Oil
Ingredients: Safflower oil, evening primrose oil, hemp seed oil, black cumin seed oil, pumpkin seed oil, tamanu oil, borage seed oil, manuka oil and natural vitamin E.
Dry Skin:
Specially formulated for skin that suffers from dryness.
- Contains a high level of certain fatty acids that dry skin tends to be deficient in
- Works hard to retain your skin’s moisture levels and improve skin-tone
- Apply twice daily for best results
Ingredients: Camellia oil, macadamia oil, sweet almond oil, pomegranate seed oil and natural vitamin E.
Normal Skin:
Specially formulated to suit skin that is relatively balanced - not particularly dry, or oily.
- Fast absorbing and silky smooth on your skin
- Replaces your usual daily moisturising lotions.
- Great on your hands too!
Ingredients: Baobab oil, argan oil, jojoba oil, grape seed oil, rosehip oil, borage seed oil, natural vitamin E.
Oily Skin:
Formulated for skin that has oily tendencies.
- Putting oil on oily skin may seem counterintuitive, but skin is usually oily because of an imbalance in your natural oil production - correcting it will usually lessen the production of oil.
- Absorbs nicely into your skin.
Ingredients: Hemp seed oil, jojoba oil, grape seed oil, cacay oil and natural vitamin E.
Why moisturise?
Locking in skin moisture is important - your skin's outer layer is slowly fed water from the lower layers, but this water tends to evaporate and your skin can end up drier than optimal. This dry skin comes with many problems:
- looks dry and can feel uncomfortable
- can end up cracked and further damaged
- the dead skin cells you lose naturally can end up clumped together giving a flaky appearance
This moisturising oil range is made entirely from natural plant oils extracted from various parts of plants (typically seeds and nuts). These oils contain many components that are beneficial for your skin - including some long-chain fatty acids that match those produced by your body to protect your skin by keeping it from drying out.
Method:
Massage 2 drops into a clean face, morning and night. Applying to slightly damp skin (after washing or toning) will help the oil spread easily and keep that moisture in your skin.
Precautions:
- Do not apply immediately before bed as it needs a bit of time to absorb into the skin (you want it on your face, not on your pillow!)
- We recommend a patch test before use (the delicate skin inside your elbow is a good spot)
- Discontinue use if irritation develops
- External use only
- Avoid eye area
- Store in a cool, dry spot out of direct sunlight
Size:
Each glass dropper bottle contains 30ml.
