Eminence Organics Biodynamic Facial Recovery Oil

Overview

A facial oil formulated for combination skin, blending clary sage, olive oil, sage leaf extract and ylang ylang with tea tree oil and vitamin E in a 15ml bottle. Positioned for aging, fine lines and wrinkles with a light rosemary scent.

This is a concentrated oil rather than a lotion, so a little covers the face; the small 15ml size fits a treatment step in a routine rather than daily all-over use. It's paraben free and marketed as hypoallergenic, though anyone with a known sensitivity to any of the named botanicals should patch test first.

• 15ml treatment oil for combination skin
• Contains tea tree oil and vitamin E
• Botanical blend of clary sage, olive oil, sage leaf and ylang ylang
• Rosemary scent, paraben free

Who it's for

Suits people with combination skin looking for a nighttime or treatment oil to address fine lines and dryness patches. Not aimed at oily-only or acne-prone skin given the rich botanical oil base.

Pros and cons

Performance notes

The formula pairs tea tree oil with vitamin E and a blend of clary sage, olive oil, sage leaf extract and ylang ylang, the kind of botanical mix typically used to moisturize while targeting the look of fine lines. As an oil it sits on top of skin rather than absorbing like a water-based serum, so it works best applied sparingly over damp skin or layered under a moisturizer.
