Notes

Why These Ingredients

Calendula is traditionally valued for soothing and conditioning dry or irritated skin.
Chamomile is a classic gentle botanical traditionally used for calming and comforting the skin.
Rose petals add a beautiful botanical element while contributing additional skin-conditioning properties.
Jojoba oil gives the serum a lightweight, elegant feel and is particularly well suited to facial formulations.
Rosehip seed oil is added after infusion because it is a delicate oil that I prefer not to subject to the heat of the infusion cycle.
