Ingredients INCI
On the left the ingredients as we know them colloquially and on the right the INCI.

Good to know
* Limonenes are natural components of essential grapefruit oil. Relevant for people with allergies.

Essential oils are obtained from flowers and plant parts. They combine the concentrated power of plants and, in addition to the scent, have various positive and negative effects. People with intolerances to certain plants often react to the corresponding essential oils. A single essential oil consists of up to 200 chemical components - some of which can be allergenic. That is why the EU has defined 26 allergenic ingredients. These must always be shown separately in the overview of ingredients (INCI) and show people with allergies that certain products should be avoided.

Facial oil balance: The ingredients in detail

1. Jojoba oil
Quality: organic, cold pressed
Jojoba oil is well absorbed and provides long-lasting protection against moisture loss. It doesn't leave a film behind and doesn't clog the pores. Jojoba oil is oxidatively very stable. It protects other oils from becoming rancid (in the product and on the skin) and thus from the formation of free radicals. Due to its similarity to sebum (sebum), jojoba oil has a balancing effect on sebum production. A property that makes the oil particularly valuable for oily skin. In addition, jojoba oil cannot be metabolized by bacteria that occur in impure skin and clogged pores. It deprives them of their livelihood. That's why jojoba oil is ideal for impure skin.

2. Squalane 
Quality: conventional, vegetable from olives
Squalane feels very light and makes the skin soft and smooth. As a natural substance in the skin, squalene is an essential component of our skin lipids. Our oil is hydrogenated from the pressing residues of olives. In order for it to be used for our facial oil, it must be processed. The raw material becomes squalane (with a).

3. Black Seed Oil
Quality: organic, cold-pressed
Is a concentrated active oil and is ideal for impure skin and even acne in two respects: Due to the naturally high proportion of essential oils, it has an antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and slightly antibacterial effect. The oil's further strength is its content of polyunsaturated fatty acids. They regulate keratinization, improve skin moisture and strengthen the skin barrier.

4. Vitamin E
Quality: non GMO, from soy
Vitamin E acts as a radical scavenger.

5. Essential Grapefruit Oil 
Quality: organic, pressed from fruit peel
Its strong antibacterial effect helps contain skin impurities. We use grapefruit oil that is low in furocoumarin and therefore not photosensitizing.

Application facial oil balance

We recommend using the facial oil in the morning. Before applying, wash face and décolleté with lukewarm water. Pour a pump of the care oil into the palm of your hand and apply to damp (!) skin. Allow to air dry.

Tip: You can increase the nourishing effect of the facial oil by mixing it in the palm of your hand with our moisturizing FIVE facial serum and applying it. With this application, your skin does not need to be moistened with water beforehand; the facial serum with rose petal water takes over this function.
