I’ve always been a fan of so-called “active ingredients”.
And the simplest step to reap all the benefits is to use the active ingredient only.
My recent favourites – from left to right – are now:
A new brand of organic broccoli seed oil;
Food grade, virgin oil blend: linseed oil, hemp oil, pumpkin seed oil;
Golden Camellia oil;
Raspberry seed oil;
Rice bran oil.
These high quality oils all have amazing benefits and skincare properties.
Tea oil is rich in antioxidants; raspberry seed oil has sunscreen properties; and broccoli seed oil is the best natural hair conditioner.
And of course, they are free from additives, fillers etc.
I’m testing them now to find the best use. And so:
[…] (like rms or Inika) can be ‘diluted’ with… just a tiny drop of a great face oil (camellia, hemp seed, broccoli seed, rice bran, etc.) to create a highly controllable, non-patchy, […]

I recently bought some tea tree oil but hadn’t, until I read this post, thought of using it on my skin. 😉
It’s not a fave of mine, TBH. I don’t like the harsh smell of it, but there are a lot of people who ❤ its tangy, sharp "bite". Obviously you're one of them 🙂
[…] Konjac sponges for cleansing and for make-up application; and a little “apothecary” of precious oils to pick from for specific needs. My skin is still in what I call recovery mode, but it hasn’t […]
ooh I literally love every single oil you listed. I’m also a huge fan of tamanu, sacha inci, baobab, camellia seed and marula oils. My gawd I can just picture how epic of conversation is going to be when we finally meet up 😀
the oil geek club? 😀 can’t wait!!!
Broccoli oil? Can’t say I heard of that one…
I love lavender oil, recently argan, although not for the face.
Broccoli seed beats any silicone conditioner when it comes to silky, shiny hair. You only need tinies drops. (Which is good, it’s rather expensive)
Lavender is a great addition to oils. I wouldn’t use it pure tho (can provoke allergies)
Do you use them straight up or mix them?
Some straight up, some blended, some with a hint of an essential oil!
