Hi readers, a little story time from me the founder. Let’s go! But before we start, when did you find out that oil can be beneficial for your skin?
The very first “eye” witness experience was when my family and I were visiting relatives in the Philippines. I was no older than 7 years old, I believe, I and it was the yearly water festival in the village where my mum grew up.
Everyone in the whole village gathered to a special river where we all swam and ate food all day. I remember being impressed by my own mum jumping from a cliff into the deepest part of the river. The river had a bit of a current so you had to be aware.
Adjacent to the cliff sat a few of my older cousins. They were doing something that sparked curiosity in my child mind so I had to keep on watching from a far.
They had coconuts with them and they were eating the coconut flesh, or I thought they were. They then spat out the crushed coconut flesh and massaged the “product” into their scalps, long beautiful hair and even on to their legs, arms and face.
I didn’t realise at the time that this moment I witnessed would have great impact on the way I see skin health. What my cousins did was just that, taking care of their skin with what nature had provided them.

Our new product Everything Facial Oil is one of our products that is inspired by this memory of mine.
I have combination skin and my skin changes with the seasons and I needed something that could help in my all areas. What I love about this facial oil is that it is hydrating for my skin around the autumn and winters months here in Sweden. Especially for around my nose. After massaging in the oil on my face, the excess oil is great for my hands and nails. Not only is the oil hydrating, it creates a barrier and protects the skin for the harsher weather conditions here, the wind and minus degrees. Plus it soothes the skin when irritated.
Did you know the sunlight here in Sweden is so limited in the winter times? As little a few hours per day and if you’re lucky , there’s no clouds in the way but unfortunately that’s wishful thinking lol.
Since it’s so dark here between the months of October to February, it’s important to have the right nourishment both inside and out. The right facial oils are rich in vitamins, antioxidants, and essential fatty acids, which nourish the skin, support cell regeneration, and improve texture.
Did you know that combining a facial oils with of other skincare products enhances absorption, making them more effective.
To end off this blog, it’s very important to know that facial oil is not for everyone. Using the right facial oil can regulate the skin’s natural oil production, helping to balance both dry and oily skin types. Please find out first which skin type you have. Normal, dry, oily and or combined. To be extra cautious if you’re unsure, use a very little amount or dilute the oil first. Pay attention to how your skin is reacting to the oil. Maybe even use it every other day/week.
No matter what, the right facial oils can do wonders for our skin but we have to remember that these are oils, high in concentrations. Highly beneficial when used correctly.
If you red all that, you understand the passion we have for our skincare products.
Take care of your skin, so it can take care of you.
Love, Kristina.
