ARCANA
Nine Herbs Charm Clarifying Face Oil
$80.00 $
What is it? Nine Herbs Charm is a universally appealing face oil that is made with a blend of linoleic acid rich plant oils like Grape seed, Watermelon seed, Black Cumin seed oils and more.
Notes from the Curator: It contains a blend of biodynamically-grown herbs that encourage lymphatic drainage with an essential oil blend that includes Blue Tansy, Blue Chamomile, Clary Sage, and Nettle that ease redness, hormonal reactions, and inflammation. While it is designed to support skin prone to blemishes and redness, I find that it suits a range of skin states and conditions, including more balanced skin types looking for a glow-inducing oil.
Let’s Get Nerdy: Nine Herbs Charm contains Meadowsweet that is rich in salicin, a natural and whole form of salicylic acid, which accelerates cell turnover and prevents the accumulation of dead skin. It also contains Stinging Nettle, one of the highest plant sources of protein, vitamins, chlorophyll, and minerals that helps soothe skin reactions. Plantain reduces redness and inflammation and Mugwort, called ‘the oldest of plants’ in medieval medical texts, is soothing, toning, and anti-inflammatory.
