SKIN TYPE
For women and men of all skin types. All ages. Benefits mature, acne prone, UV damaged skin.
RITUAL
Douse your face with a little water, or hydrosol. Massage a hazelnut-size amount all over your face, adding more hydrosol (or water) if it is too sticky, you don't want it to 'pull' your skin as you apply. A small amount goes a long way (
Rub your hands with the honey after for the softest hands). Leave on for 15-30 minutes, take off which warm water. The mask will not dry, and remain sticky until washed off.
A 30ml jar lasts about 25 application, and I use it just once a week as a hyaluronic acid replenishing intensive treatment.

ABOUT WHOLE PLANT EXTRACTS
All our extracts are made by sun-infusing whole plant material into early harvest virgin cold pressed biodynamic Olive oil. First harvest, unripe Olives yield a beautifully nutrient oil with spectacularly high phenolic content, which stabilises and naturally preserves not only our extracts but also our skin.
In this ancient method of bioactive botanical extraction, we co-infuse all the compositions botanicals together, so they commune and synergise, enhancing each other's potency and bioavailablity.
Each plant component has a specific purpose that is intrinsically linked to other compounds. There is massive evidence now that synergistic whole plant extracts are much more powerful than isolated, single components.
