The ancient wellness tradition of anointment is growing in popularity and experiencing a reawakening. Skincare oils have always had a role in wellness rituals; most often for religious purposes, but they were also used for healing and transformation. In recent years they have become a real skin-care treat, used both as part of our daily care, as well as a product for ritual facial massages.
Luxurious facial care
Plant oils are a treasure trove of active ingredients that have beneficial effects on the skin, so it is no surprise that they are found in a wide range of cosmetic products. However, the compositions of individual oils hold many secrets and how these oils are combined is extremely important.
Active ingredients found in plant oils:
- Tocopherols; vitamin E, which protects the skin and acts as an antioxidant
- Phytosterols restore, protect, have anti-inflammatory qualities, and prevent moisture loss
- Carotenoids restore and act as an antioxidant
- Phospholipids stimulate the activity of cell membranes and bind moisture
- Squalene; similar to the composition of our skin, softens and smoothes the skin
- Flavonoids; plant dyes that protect the skin from external influences and oxidation and strengthen the tissue
Each oil has a different ratio of active ingredients, a different color, aroma, absorbency, and stability. When mixing plant oils in a product, it is important to combine stable, basic, and active oils in the ideal ratio. The right blend creates a synergy of oils combined into a luxury care product and that’s exactly what we created at Hemptouch.
The Replenishing Antioxidant Face Oil is based on three plant oils, which complement each other with their composition. Together they offer sensitive, dry and dehydrated skin complete regenerating and protective care.

The ingredients in the Replenishing Antioxidant Face Oil
- Hemp oil; one of the most active oils found in nature that intensively regenerates the skin. The active oil contains an ideal ratio of omega 3 and 6 fatty acids, so it is exceptional for the care of inflamed skin, atopic dermatitis, and oily skin.
- Plum kernel oil; an essential oil rich in fatty acids and antioxidants that is also extremely light and absorbs quickly.
- Squalane; a stable oil similar in composition to our own skin’s sebum. It restores elasticity, flexibility, and moisture to the skin. It is quickly absorbed and leaves a silky finish on your skin.
- CBD; a cannabinoid found in hemp that gives remarkable results in the care of sensitive skin that has lost its balance. It helps regulate the secretion of sebum, has an anti-inflammatory effect, and soothes and protects against oxidative stress from the environment.
- Poppyseed extract; proven to enhance vital skin functions. It accelerates the skin microcirculation and stimulates its density and firmness. It helps our complexion become more uniform and radiant.
A clear goal for the best effect
Setting a clear goal is crucial when designing products and it is the only way to have the product’s formulation achieve the desired effect. The rule that usually applies here is ‘less is more’. The more ingredients there are in the product, the less focused the work of the key ingredients becomes. More doesn’t always equal a better effect. It is important to highlight the best properties of each ingredient and support them with related active ingredients that further increase their effectiveness.
Reading a long list of exceptional ingredients is certainly tempting but it is also important to pay attention to the interaction or cooperation of the ingredients within the product. A short list of ingredients (INCI) doesn’t necessarily mean an insufficient product, it can also indicate a very clear targeted action of the product’s formulation.
We created the Replenishing Antioxidant Face Oil with sensitive and dry skin that faces the loss of elasticity, moisture, and radiance in mind. The main task of the product is to strengthen the hydro-lipid layer of the skin and the combination of plant oils takes care of that nicely. This in turn increases the elasticity and hydration of the skin. The CBD helps protect against oxidative stress from the environment and soothes any redness, while poppy seed extract strengthens the skin and improves its elasticity, restoring your skin’s radiance.
