Skin Love: Ingredients for Naturally Healthy Skin

When it comes to skincare, natural oils have been used for centuries to cleanse, nourish, and heal. Unlike chemical-based products, plant-derived oils support the skin’s microbiome, helping to maintain balance, hydration, and protection against environmental stressors. From essential oils like Blue Tansy and Tea Tree to carrier oils like Jojoba and Castor, each one brings unique benefits that promote radiant, healthy skin.

Why Oils Are Better for Your Skin’s Microbiome

Your skin is home to trillions of beneficial bacteria that form a natural protective barrier. Many traditional cleansers and moisturizers strip the skin of these essential microbes, leading to dryness, irritation, and even breakouts. Oils, on the other hand, work with your skin by:

• Gently dissolving dirt and makeup without disrupting natural oils

• Locking in hydration for long-lasting moisture

• Supporting the skin barrier to prevent irritation and infection

• Providing antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties naturally

Let’s take a closer look at the benefits of each essential and carrier oil I use in my favorite product: Skin Love Serum.

Skin Love Serum Ingredients: Essential oils of Blue Tansy, Elemi, Lavender, Lemon and Tea Tree; and carrier oils of Organic Jojoba, Sesame, and Castor oils

Essential Oils

Blue Tansy (Tanacetum annuum)

• Soothes inflammation and redness, making it great for sensitive, acne-prone skin

• Calms irritation and eczema with chamazulene’s powerful anti-inflammatory effects

• Helps relieve stress through its herbaceous, slightly sweet aroma

Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia)

• Promotes skin healing, ideal for burns, scars, and irritation

• Has antibacterial and antifungal properties that help prevent breakouts

• Reduces stress and improves sleep, which also benefits skin health

Lemon Peel (Citrus limon)

• Brightens and evens skin tone with natural vitamin C

• Gently exfoliates for a smoother, more radiant complexion

• Has antiseptic properties that help reduce oiliness and acne

Tea Tree (Melaleuca alternifolia)

• Kills acne-causing bacteria without over-drying skin

Elemi (Canarium luzonicum)

• Rejuvenates and tightens skin, reducing fine lines

Carrier Oils

Carrier oils dilute essential oils and provide deep nourishment on their own. These plant-based oils support moisture, balance, and skin barrier health.

Jojoba Oil

Sesame Oil

• Naturally antimicrobial, helping to protect against bacteria

• Deeply nourishing and hydrating, great for dry or mature skin

Switching to natural oils supports your skin’s microbiome, enhances hydration, and promotes long-term skin health without harsh chemicals. Whether you need soothing relief from Blue Tansy, acne control from Tea Tree, brightening from Lemon Peel, or deep nourishment from Jojoba and Sesame, Skin Love Serum offers the perfect solution.
