Are you looking for the **PERFECT** everyday moisturizer for your skin? Something that works on every skin type? Something that soaks into your skin, heals from within and makes the perfect pallet for your makeup? That is what Arnica and Oats Moisturizer is. Let me break it down for you why you need this in your life.
What Arnica Is
Arnica is a small mountain flower in the sunflower family. It has been used medicinally for ages to help with bruising, bleeding and swelling and to improve circulation. It also has been used for pain relief caused by arthritis. In more recent years however, it has been used in skin care with awesome results.
WARNING: SCIENCY STUFF
Generally the flower and roots have the most concentration of pharmacologically active compounds. They are sesquiterpene lactones, thymol derivatives, flavonoids, acid polysaccharides and their glycoconjugates. These aid in tissue regenerating and wound healing. For more on that you can take a gander at this scientific study:

So arnica has amazing cell regenerative properties that aid in skin healing and can help sooth and renew skin.
We cold press arnica and calendula flowers into our organic olive oil in such a way as to get the absolute best benefits of the flowers.
Calendula Flowers
Calendula is another flower packed with healing and soothing benefits. It helps plump the surface of your skin to smooth out fine lines. It is also a powerful antioxidant that helps skin keep its youthful look.
Colloidal Oatmeal
You know how soothing an oat bath is? When I was about 4 I got the chicken pox (this was before the vaccine came out so all you young folk never had to deal with chicken pox). I remember my mom giving me an oatmeal bath to soothe the itchiness and the relief was almost immediate. Oatmeal soothes red or irritated skin and quickly calms. It is a major anti-inflammatory and promotes skin health.
We also use frankincense essential oil which is a know anti-ager (you know, the stuff they put on the mummies in Egypt and they still had nice skin after 1000 years of death!). Also included is lavender essential oil and a little bit of fir essential oil which also calms irritated skin.
Arnica and Oats Moisturizer is a light yellow color because of the infused flowers and is light and creamy. You can feel how deeply healing it is as soon as you put it on. For extra moisture I recommend using 4-5 drops of our Squalane and Sea Buckthorn Serum before adding the moisturizer.
I recommend this for all skin types: dry, ageing, acne prone and anyone with psoriasis or other skin irritating conditions.
