Handcrafted Daytime Face Oil

Formulated as a face oil, this handcrafted formula combines calendula-infused coconut oil, grapeseed oil, raspberry seed oil, carrot seed oil, apricot kernel oil, vitamin E, and chamomile and lavender essential oils. A regular sunscreen remains the sun protection step with this oil.

Carrot seed oil is often used to support mature skin and provide antioxidant support. Vitamin E also acts to protect lipid-rich skin and seal in hydration. Chamomile oil is also regularly used to support calm and soothe sensitive skin. Lavender oil is also commonly used to support calm and soothe irritated skin.

Skin care engages touch at each step of a routine, and the step depends on the product. Cleansing products lift surface oils, debris, and bacteria from the skin (Aiello & Larson, 2002). Moisturizing products such as creams, lotions, and balms add emollients that soften the skin surface and help hold in hydration. Serums, masks, and treatments are applied to specific areas of the face, and the pressure of application adds to the sensation. Applying any of these products activates C‑tactile afferents, the nerve fibers that process pleasant touch (Löken et al., 2009; McGlone et al., 2014). Slow, massage‑like pressure is associated with reduced stress and relaxation (Field, 2010; Field, 2015), and warmth and absorption add to the sensation as the product meets the skin.

Anyone with a skin condition, allergies, or sensitivities should consult a physician or dermatologist before use.

Pairing Note

Aroma: Topical interaction paired with aroma becomes aromatic‑surface experience. Cultures combine botanicals with oils, creams, and hair treatments because aroma carries symbolic meaning, lineage, and spatial identity (Classen, Howes & Synnott, 1994). These practices persist because aromatic pairing strengthens emotional recall (Herz, 2016) and supports cultural continuity (Assmann, 2011).
