Whenever I cut into the flesh of a ripe orange, it feels like I am opening up the sun. Cultivated for over 4,500 years, orange is one of the most popular, cultivated, and nutritious fruits in the world. This juicy, tangy globe is a cross between pomelo and mandarin and a single orange delivers a whopping 95% of your daily requirement of vitamin C!

Sweet orange’s essential oil, which is derived from the rind of the fruit, is highly prized for its calming, antiseptic, and anti-inflammatory properties, making it a favorite treatment for acne-prone and oil-imbalanced skin. Known for its high antioxidant content, it effectively slows down the process of aging and increases collagen production. Additionally, sweet orange essential oil is said to have powerful detoxifying properties that help to naturally tone the skin, giving a natural, healthy glow.

Our fair trade Frankincense contains 2% silica, included to prevent the caking of this aromatic resin.

Rosemary leaf extract is contained at .1% in The Youth Dew’s formula as a vital antioxidant, supporting the freshness and potency of our Organic Bulgarian Rosehip Seed Co2 extraction.

Meadowfoam oil earns its fame from its nourishing, high antioxidant composition and its incredible stability. It contains over 98% long-chain fatty acids and has the rare and wonderful ability to extend the shelf life of other oils, allowing us to get the maximum benefit from every fresh ingredient it is paired with.

Meadowfoam oil is also a favorite of mine for its sustainability. The annual flowers are easy to grow and often used by farmers as a rotation crop, giving goodness back to the land that has been stripped by other harvests.

Similar in some aspects to jojoba oil, meadowfoam seed oil is slightly waxy and closely resembles human sebum. This special composition helps skin to form a barrier to lock in moisture and deliver nutrients deep into your epidermis.

Limonene is not an isolated ingredient we add to our formulas, rather it is a naturally occurring, non-synthetic component within our pure essential oils.

Limonene is a compound found in the essential oils of many plants such as lemon, lime, lemongrass, neroli, grapefruit, tangerine, peppermint, rose, sage, fennel, and geranium. Limonene is responsible for the sweet, lemon-like, pungent aroma we associate with citrus fruit.

Besides being a powerful antioxidant, limonene works as a penetration enhancer. When used in association with other natural, skin-friendly ingredients, we are able to enjoy the maximum benefits of each.

Lemon oil is a naturally rich source of antioxidants, citric acid, and vitamin C. These properties help to reduce acne-causing bacteria and germs, maintain balanced sebum production, and boost the production of collagen. As a result, acne and associated scarring and hyperpigmentation issues are reduced. Lemon oil penetrates the skin, encouraging the production of new, undamaged cells and collagen.

The same properties that make lemon so effective for acne-prone complexions are of equal benefit to maturing complexions. Lemon oil stimulates the lymphatic system, enabling the body to remove toxins, reducing puffiness and stagnation in dull skin. Lemon oil helps to safeguard skin cells against premature aging, aiding in fighting off competition from the free intruders that steal oxygen.

In aromatherapy, lemon is known for its ability to fight stress. Its bright aromatics have a calming and focusing effect that aids the body in releasing fatigue, anxiety, nervousness, and mental fogginess.

Our not-so-secret favorite ingredient is colloidal silver, which has been used as a healing agent by civilizations throughout the world. Its medical and restorative powers can be traced as far back as the ancient Greek and Roman Empires.

Silver promotes the acceleration of soft tissue recovery and assists with cooling excessive heat from conditions such as psoriasis, eczema, rosacea, and all forms of dermatitis.

Silver is one of the most studied, most effective, and most trusted ingredients on the market – natural or otherwise. Used topically as we do in The Honey Mud and The Jasmine Garden, silver translates to serious protection against acne, inflammation, irritation, rashes, and a plethora of skin challenges.

The human body naturally produces Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), a vitamin-like antioxidant necessary for cells to function properly. CoQ10 can be found in just about every living cell, but the amounts present in our skin peak in our twenties and begin to decline thereafter. As we age, our cell and energy production are greatly reduced; skin begins to demonstrate visible signs of this in the form of wrinkles, fine lines, and diminished firmness and elasticity.

Studies show the antioxidant content of stressed and maturing skin can be dramatically improved through the topical use of Coenzyme Q10. Our maker brings the bounty of nature and the proven benefits of science together in a plant-based, holistic supplement derived from a microbial fermentation process. Over time, this powerful antioxidant replenishes ubiquinone levels as it penetrates both the surface and deeper layers of the epidermis. CoQ10 functions as a free radical scavenger, greatly reducing oxidative damage from stress and environmental factors (such as UV irradiation) while maintaining healthy cellular levels.

Citronellol is not an isolated ingredient we add to our formulas, rather it is a naturally occurring, non-synthetic component within our pure essential oils.

Citronellol exists in both a synthetic form, typically manufactured for use in perfumery, and as a natural component of essential oils. Ours is produced naturally within the floral tissue of rose and geranium rose.

The Problem Solver gets its signature black hue from activated bamboo carbon charcoal. In many parts of Asia, this ingredient has been used for centuries for its ability to deeply and gently cleanse your pores, absorbing minerals, toxins, impurities, and other harmful substances from your skin. It is known as the “black diamond” of healers and addresses everything from acne to eczema with grace and ease. Once brought to life with water, bamboo charcoal releases many beneficial minerals, such as calcium, potassium, and magnesium.

Balsam of Peru’s rich history dates back all the way to the Maya culture, when it was used for its abundant medicinal qualities. Native to Central and South America, the aromatic essential oil is derived from an oily, resinous substance from the Myroxylon tree, which is widely grown in the tropics and on coffee plantations. The extracted balsam has a rich, golden-brown color and a distinctive aroma blend of heartwarming and stimulating cinnamon, vanilla, and a hint of clove. I’m completely enamored with its grounding and sensual fragrance, but this potent beauty ultimately made it into The Pendulum Potion due to its powerful, active healing compounds.

Its impressive list of medicinal benefits is endless. Balsam of Peru is simultaneously antiseptic, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, analgesic and boasts antioxidant properties that make this calming oil a personal favorite.

Note: Balsam of Peru in the unrefined form is restricted in certain parts of the world. Processing and sourcing make all the difference with this special ingredient, and ours is the highest quality there is, delivered to us as a beautifully produced essential oil. Our variation is approved at the highest safety standard, allowing for maximum compatibility even with the most sensitive skin.

Considered both a delicacy and an aphrodisiac, avocados are a decidedly delicious symbol of fertility. In some South American countries, one spouse will give the other this fruit, which grows in pairs, as a token of love. Now that’s a custom I’m on board with!

Avocado oil is an emollient, highly penetrating oil with a naturally robust content of Vitamins A and E that work synergistically to improve the skin’s texture. Its notable content of unsaturated fatty and essential fatty acids (boasting an impressive 64% oleic acid content) contributes to its deeply nourishing, skin-food qualities.
