Ingredients & Sourcing
Our Synergistic Ingredients: Wild-crafted French Lavender, German White Yarrow, Somolian Frankincense, Madagascar Clove Bud, *Wild-crafted French Thyme thymol & linalol, Moroccan Blue Chamomile, Bavarian German Chamomile (Matricaria recutita), Wild Corsican Helichrysum (italicum var. serotinum), Australian Tea Tree, Australian Sandalwood (Full Spectrum, Small Batch from our exclusive partners outside Perth), and *Wild-crafted French High Alps 3 Rosemary Chemotypes.

The * indicates a chemotype, sourced from both higher and lower mountain elevations. A chemotype describes the subspecies of a plant that have the same morphological characteristics (relating to form and structure) but produce different quantities of active chemical components in their essential oils.
Cautions
If swelling, redness or irritation occurs, discontinue use. Use Olive oil to remove from skin. If you have sensitive skin, try 1 drop of essential oil on the inner arm and monitor effects for 24 hours. Keep out of reach of children. Keep away from eyes. Use with caution while pregnant or nursing. For external use only.
Tips
- Keep acne solution in car, purse, or backpack to handy treatment throughout the day.
- Regular usage of up to 5 “spot” treatments per day can clear up blemishes more quickly.
- Drinking strong Nettle Tea (2-3 bags per cup, steeped for 20 minutes) will help clear skin, shrink pour and get rid of acne. Nettle tea is not an essential oil, but you can also buy it at rosemary’s garden. Nettle is a blood-cleanser that does many things, one of them being cleaning any underlying skin tissue damage.
