Handcrafted Luxe Repair Serum-Oil Hybrid

Devised as a serum-oil hybrid, this handcrafted formula combines jojoba, marula, avocado, and raspberry seed oils with shea butter, blue tansy extract, and vitamin E.

Vitamin E is usually used to protect lipid-rich skin and seal in hydration. Jojoba oil is commonly used to support hydration. Avocado oil and shea butter are in many instances used to soften dry skin and support the skin barrier. Mica also helps add shimmer. Aloe vera is also commonly used to support hydration. Sunflower oil also acts to soften dry skin and support the skin barrier. Panthenol and blue tansy also help calm and soothe irritated skin. Cetearyl alcohol is also commonly used to control thickness and stabilize the formula.

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.
