Herbal oils have been used for centuries to heal, nourish, and protect the skin. In a world filled with synthetic skincare, these plant-based remedies offer a gentle, powerful alternative that works in harmony with the body. At Naturally Balanced, we hand-blend our oils using traditional methods to preserve their natural potency and bring the purest form of skin nourishment to you.
What Are Herbal Oils?
Herbal oils are created by infusing carrier oils (like jojoba, sweet almond, or olive oil) with medicinal herbs, flowers, or roots. This process draws out the therapeutic properties of the plants, resulting in nutrient-rich blends packed with vitamins, antioxidants, and essential fatty acids.
Top Benefits of Herbal Oils for Skin
-
1. Deep Moisturisation
Herbal oils provide long-lasting hydration by strengthening the skin’s natural barrier. Unlike many lotions, they lock in moisture without clogging pores. -
2. Soothing Inflammation
Many herbs, such as chamomile, calendula, and lavender, have anti-inflammatory properties that calm irritation and redness. -
3. Natural Anti-Ageing Support
Herbal oils like rosehip and frankincense help reduce fine lines, promote collagen production, and rejuvenate dull skin. -
4. Healing and Repairing Skin
Herbal infusions with comfrey, rosemary, or gotu kola promote skin regeneration and reduce the appearance of scars and blemishes. -
5. Aromatherapy Benefits
Beyond skincare, herbal oils also nourish the mind. Essential oils like lavender and frankincense help ease stress and promote relaxation.
How to Use Herbal Oils
- Apply a few drops to damp skin after cleansing for deep hydration.
- Add to your bath for a soothing, aromatic soak.
