The Power of Seven Oils
The Power of Seven Oils: Why Our Lotion is Your Skin's Perfect Match
At Smelley Kat, I believe in using ingredients that work in harmony with your skin's natural biology, not against it. My whipped tallow base is fortified with a select blend of oils, each chosen by me for its clinically recognized benefits and purity, things I wanted to go into MY own skin. The result is a simple, potent formula that goes beyond mere moisturizing.
Here is a look at the botanical powerhouse inside every jar:
- Frankincense (The King of Oils): Given to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ by the three wise men on the day of His birth, frankincense is known for its powerful anti-inflammatory effects. It helps reduce the appearance of scars, stretch marks, and fine lines by promoting cellular regeneration and soothing skin irritation. It's also emotionally grounding, adding a layer of calm to your skincare ritual.
-
Myrrh (The Desert Healer): Also given to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ by the three wise men on the day of His birth along with frankincense. Myrrh is excellent for chapped, cracked or dry skin. Myrrh is highly valued for its antiseptic and anti-inflammatory qualities, helping to strengthen skin cells and promoting faster healing for troubled areas. Together, they create a synergistic blend for aging and compromised skin.
- Peppermint: Peppermint provides a subtle, cooling sensation (tingling sensation) that is wonderful for soothing inflammation and relieving itchiness. It has natural antiseptic properties and can help invigorate the skin by stimulating circulation, giving your skin a healthy, youthful glow.
- Sweet Orange: Packed with Vitamin C and powerful antioxidants, orange oil helps to brighten and uplift your complexion. Its natural properties help reduce the appearance of blemishes and combat free radicals, leaving your skin looking vibrant and refreshed.
- Castor Oil: This deeply penetrating oil is rich in Ricinoleic Acid, a fatty acid known for its incredible ability to moisturize and protect the skin barrier. It has potent anti-inflammatory properties, making it excellent for soothing puffiness and calming irritated skin.
- Olive Oil (Extra Virgin): A Mediterranean secret for centuries (not only in the kitchen), Olive Oil contains squalene and Vitamin E, which supports the skin's moisture retention and help neutralize free radicals that cause premature aging. Its emollient nature ensures deep, lasting hydration without feeling greasy.
- Vitamin E Oil: The ultimate skin shield. As a powerful antioxidant, Vitamin E helps protect your skin from environmental damage and is crucial for reducing the signs of aging. It works to smooth the skin's texture, reduces the appearance of hyperpigmentation, and dramatically boosts the healing power of the other ingredients.
