Unlike other essential oil products that only have a single or few plant extracts, Balancing Oil consists of a blend of 10 essential oils to give you a gentle and calming experience specially catered for facial and body care, all in one convenient bottle. This essential oil blend is enhanced with Vitamins C and E to give you an additional antioxidant boost for extra skin protection. It is also free of preservatives, making this a formula that is suitable for everyone.

Yes, Balancing Oil is a gentle and calming formula that is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin. For generally sensitive skin, you can dilute a few drops with 10ml of water and use it as a final facial rinse. Alternatively, dilute 25 drops in 250ml of water as a final body rinse. However, different individuals have varying skin responses and reactions to different cosmetic ingredients. Although most people can use Balancing Oil without incident, it is always a good practice to do a sensitivity test prior to first use. To perform a sensitivity test, apply 1-2 drops of Balancing Oil to the back of the ear or the inner arm. Observe that skin area over the course of 1-2 hours for any noticeable reactions.

As this product was specially formulated for facial and body care, it is not suitable for aromatherapy use. Hence, please refrain from using Balancing Oil with a diffuser.

Yes. However, please keep in mind to apply sunscreen liberally after using Balancing Oil in the morning. To ensure ample coverage, please apply sunscreen 15 minutes before sun exposure after using any products rich in botanical oils in the day.

You can apply Balancing Oil directly after cleansing. Subsequently, continue with your skincare regime. Alternatively, you can dilute Balancing Oil with water and use as a facial rinse after cleansing.

It is recommended to apply Balancing Oil as frequently as required. Please take note to use clean fingers while applying the product. If you are using it as a facial rinse, it can be used once in the morning and night.

Balancing Oil is extracted via direct steam distillation. Direct steam distillation is a special separation process for temperature sensitive materials to prevent decomposition at high heat. To extract essential oils from plants, steam is passed through the plant matter to vapourise the essence. The water vapour carries small amounts of the vaporised compounds, where they are subsequently condensed. The condensation stage separates the essential oil from the water to be collected.

Currently, there is insufficient scientific evidence to show that essential oils pose a risk to pregnancy. It is generally interpreted that the risk is dependent on several factors such as: oil concentration, the period of time a person is exposed to the essential oil, and the application used (e.g. aromatherapy, which is not suitable for Balancing Oil). Nevertheless, if you are pregnant or suspect you may be pregnant, please consult your physician before using Balancing Oil.

100% undiluted (neat) essential oils are volatile, which may make them too strong to be applied directly on the skin. Carrier oils are vegetable oils that have a neutral aroma. They do not evaporate, making them the perfect partner to dilute especially strong essential oils. This controls the concentration of the essential oils without altering their therapeutic qualities. Balancing Oil uses Wheat Germ Oil as a carrier oil, which ensures the product is well absorbed by the skin. It also serves as a concentrated natural source of Vitamin E compared to other carrier oils.
