A face oil is a blend of nourishing oils that seals in moisture and leaves skin soft and glowing. Precious is our luxurious face oil, made with ultra-moisturising plant oils, vitamin E and bakuchiol, a plant-based retinol alternative. It helps calm, condition and soften skin for a firmer, clearer, calmer-looking complexion.

Bakuchiol is a plant extract from the seeds of the babchi plant, used for centuries in Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine. It's known as a natural retinol alternative, offering retinol-like benefits in a gentler way. That makes it ideal if your skin doesn't get along with retinol.

If retinol leaves your skin irritated or sensitive to the sun, or you're avoiding it for other reasons, bakuchiol is a lovely plant-powered alternative. Precious gives you the benefits of bakuchiol in a nourishing face oil that feels like a treat to use.

Precious is especially popular with those who can't use retinol during pregnancy. That said, every pregnancy is different, so we always recommend checking with your doctor or midwife before adding anything new to your routine while pregnant or breastfeeding.

After. Precious is the last step in your routine. Apply our 24Hr Rosehip Face Serum and Active Rosehip Day Cream first, then massage in 3–5 drops of face oil to seal it all in. Take your time and enjoy it. This is your time!

Start with 3 drops and add more or less depending on how your skin feels. You may need less when layering over other products, or more when your skin is extra thirsty. You know your skin best!

Yes! Precious is lovely at any time of day, but many of our customers love it as the final step in their night-time routine. They wake up to skin that feels soft, plump and refreshed.

Precious is lightweight and absorbs quickly, and our customers love that it leaves no greasy residue. It contains squalane, which mimics your skin's natural oils, helping keep skin supple and conditioned without feeling heavy.

Yes! It might sound surprising, but oily skin can love a face oil too. When oily skin is stripped or goes without moisture, it can feel tight and out of balance. Precious gives it the nourishment it needs without heaviness. It's lightweight, absorbs quickly and leaves no greasy residue. It also contains squalane, which mimics your skin's natural oils, so it conditions your skin while helping it feel balanced rather than slick. For combination skin, simply use a little less on oilier areas and a little more where your skin feels dry.

It's dermatologically tested and has no synthetic colours or fragrances. Its gorgeous scent comes from natural French lavender oil. As with all skincare, do a patch test first and stop using it if any irritation develops.
