Geranium essential oil
This common garden plant has a cooling and calming effect on the skin, making it great for balancing combination complexions.

Geranium floral water
A distillation of fresh geranium flowers and water.

Glycerine
This colourless, syrupy liquid is derived from natural vegetable oil. Glycerine is known for its ‘humectant’ properties, meaning it attracts moisture from the air and draws it into the skin.

Jasmine absolute
This uplifting and exotic oil is intricately extracted from the delicate white flowers of the climbing Jasmine tree.

Jojoba oil
Extracted from the seeds of a desert shrub, this oil helps keep skin soft and supple. Similar in composition to the skin’s natural sebum, it melts away to leave a silky smooth complexion.

Juniper essential oil
Distilled from the berries of the evergreen Juniper shrub, this oil’s purifying properties make it the perfect tonic for oily or combination skin.

Lavender essential oil
This sweet-smelling herb has been used in skincare preparations since Roman times. It promotes the growth of new skin cells whilst having a balancing effect on sebum production.

Macadamia nut oil
This nourishing nut oil keeps skin soft and supple. It’s rich in palmitic acid, an oil naturally produced by our skin, which diminishes as we get older.

Manuka oil
Manuka has been used by the Maoris for centuries. Its strong regenerative and antibacterial properties make it ideal for treating congested, inflamed skin.
