This lightweight oil can be used anytime and all over the body. For best results, oils should be used on freshly clean, damp skin. Oils help moisturize and condition the skin by creating a superficial barrier on top of the epidermis, trapping in water below and limiting transepidermal water loss. So it’s best to have your skin be slightly wet to begin with, like right after a shower or bath. For maximum hydration, pair with our mindbodygreen postbiotic body lotion: After massaging in the biome-friendly moisturizer, top with this oil to seal all the nutrients in. In addition, the multitasking formula can function as a cuticle oil, lip oil, on the ends of your hair, for massages, and to add a subtle glow to skin.

The ingredients we chose for our formulas are known to be well tolerated by most individuals. We also chose many ingredients that are commonly used to soothe reactive skin. But everyone has sensitivities unique to their skin. So we encourage potential buyers to evaluate the ingredient list prior to purchasing to make sure that they are not personally reactive to any botanical. At this time there is no legal definition or regulation of “hypoallergenic,” “sensitive skin safe,” or “allergen-free” in the cosmetic world: that means you must be diligent about reading the product label to ensure you don’t come into contact with your particular allergens.

Preservatives are used in personal care products to inhibit microbial contamination in aqueous-based formulas. (Water is a breeding ground for potentially pathogenic bacteria.) Oils do not have the same concern, so they do not use preservative systems. However, oils are stabilized for a longer shelf life. In our formula, tocopherol (an active form of the antioxidant vitamin E) plays double-duty here by providing skin-enhancing benefits, as well helping the formula keep from oxidizing.

We have gone through rigorous stability testing to ensure a shelf-life for up to two years. Every single one of our products has gone through testing in the following areas: physical and chemical testing, packaging stability, accelerated aging, and microbial testing. We did not move forward with any formula until it was able to pass all four of these tests.
