Ayurvedic Facial Oil

Two facial oil formulas designed to balance the two most common skin types. Each is built on the same architecture: five base oils, one plant extract, and four essential oils, every one chosen for its herbal properties according to both Ayurvedic tradition and the modern understanding of botanical actives.

The base oils carry the fatty acids your skin barrier is made of. The plant extract and essential oils carry the targeted work, customized per formula.

Vata
For dry or mature skin prone to roughness, dullness, or dark spots. Especially:

• Skin that flakes by midday no matter what cream you put on it
• Mature skin that's been through a winter, a flight, a postpartum, or a perimenopause and is asking for richer support than a lotion can give
• Skin asking for overall brightness and a gentle way to even out texture over time

The Vata formula leans into nourishment and antioxidant support. Its botanical actives are selected for their fatty acid density and their antioxidant compounds, helping skin look brighter and feel more balanced over time.

Pitta
For combination or inflammation-prone skin dealing with redness, breakouts, or eczema. Especially:

• Skin that runs hot, flushes easily, or reacts to half the products you try
• Breakout-prone skin tired of stripping it into submission
• Eczema-prone skin looking for an oil that calms instead of triggers

The Pitta formula leans into anti-inflammatory and oil-balancing actives. Its botanicals are selected to cool reactive skin, reduce the inflammation that drives both redness and breakouts, and gently regulate sebum without disrupting your barrier.

To use as a facial moisturizer, apply 4–8 drops in your palm and rub hands together to evenly distribute, then apply to your entire face and neck. Best used while skin is slightly damp, after toner or Hydrating Gel have fully dried.

To use for dry brushing, apply 4–8 drops to face and skin.

To use with gua sha, a gemstone roller, or for manual lymphatic drainage, apply 8+ drops to your face or hands to fully lubricate skin and tool.
