Soothing Facial Oil for Acne Prone Skin
Soothing Facial Oil for Acne Prone Skin
Natural, plant based products are less inclined overall to irritate sensitive skin.
This particular blend of plant-based, organic oils was mixed specifically to sooth inflamed skin and aid in healing. Each oil is selected for their low comedogenic rating, along with their dense nutrient content. Evening primrose oil is added particularly for its ability to balance skin and cool inflammation.
Ingredients: jojoba, evening primrose, prickly pear, and rosehip oils. Each are 100% organic. Vitamin e added to preserve.
Clean, simple ingredients, free from harsh or toxic chemicals.
A little goes a long way. Just massage a few drops of oil onto freshly cleansed skin once or twice per day.

Ingredient-by-ingredient, evidence-based mechanisms
Jojoba Oil (Simmondsia chinensis)
Why it’s good for skin
- Composed mostly of wax esters, which closely resemble human sebum
- Helps regulate oil production rather than clog pores
- Strengthens the skin barrier and reduces transepidermal water loss (TEWL)
Evidence-based effects
- Non-comedogenic and well tolerated by acne-prone skin
- Anti-inflammatory activity (linked to phytosterols and tocopherols)
- Enhances penetration and stability of other oils in blends
Best for:
- All skin types, especially oily, sensitive, or acne-prone skin
Evening Primrose Oil (Oenothera biennis)
Why it’s good for skin
- Exceptionally rich in gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), an omega-6 fatty acid
- GLA is a precursor to anti-inflammatory prostaglandins
Evidence-based effects
- Improves skin barrier function in dry, irritated, or eczematous skin
- Helps reduce inflammation, redness, and itching
- Supports recovery in compromised or hormonally affected skin
Best for:
- Dry, inflamed, eczema-prone, or hormonally sensitive skin
