Face oils often get misunderstood.
For years, they’ve been seen as heavy, pore-clogging, or “too much” — especially for anyone with congestion or sensitivity.
But when formulated with precision, oils become one of the most effective ways to restore barrier integrity and support long-term skin health.
They don’t replace hydration — they seal it in.
They don’t block your pores — they balance them.
Let’s Talk Formulation
Aurora Facial Oil is built entirely around skin physiology — not trends.
Each oil was selected for its fatty acid profile, antioxidant content, and barrier compatibility, ensuring the blend restores equilibrium without heaviness.
Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride
This silky emollient is derived from coconut oil and glycerin — and it’s not just here for texture. It forms a breathable barrier that locks in moisture without clogging pores. Basically, it keeps the rest of the oils doing their job… longer.
Rosa Eglanteria Seed Oil (Rosehip Oil)
A crowd-favourite, and for good reason. Rosehip is bursting with vitamins A and C — meaning it helps fade scars, even tone, and encourage cell turnover. Plus, it’s rich in essential fatty acids that soothe inflammation and support barrier repair.
Linum Usitatissimum Seed Oil (Flaxseed Oil)
Flaxseed brings the omega-3s — an anti-inflammatory powerhouse for calming redness, hydrating dry patches, and boosting elasticity. Ideal for sensitive or reactive skin that’s seen better days.
Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis Oil (Sweet Almond Oil)
Lightweight and vitamin-rich, almond oil is your smoothing, softening MVP. It helps reduce flakiness and improve skin texture — especially great for dry, tight, or maturing skin.
Simmondsia Chinensis Seed Oil (Jojoba Oil)
The mimic — jojoba’s molecular structure is strikingly similar to your skin’s natural sebum. That means it balances oil production, hydrates deeply, and delivers nutrients without clogging. Great for oily or combo skin types that still need nourishment.
Oenothera Biennis Oil (Evening Primrose Oil)
A night-time healer. This oil is rich in gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), which helps soothe eczema, hormonal breakouts, and stressed-out skin. It also supports elasticity and calms inflammation.
Persea Gratissima Oil (Avocado Oil)
A rich, buttery oil that penetrates deep. Avocado is loaded with antioxidants like vitamins E, D, and A — making it a reparative dream for dry, sun-damaged, or barrier-compromised skin.
Prunus Armeniaca Kernel Oil (Apricot Kernel Oil)
Soft, nurturing, and gentle. Apricot kernel oil is rich in vitamin E and works beautifully for sensitive or baby-soft skin. Think of it as a skin comforter — hydrating without heaviness.
Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil (Argan Oil)
Liquid gold, anyone? Argan oil is high in linoleic acid and vitamin E — it protects against oxidative stress, smooths fine lines, and deeply hydrates. Lightweight but nourishing, it’s your anti-ageing ally.
Borago Officinalis Seed Oil (Borage Oil)
This lesser-known oil is packed with GLA, known for its regenerative effects on inflamed, sensitive, or acne-prone skin. It’s your go-to for calming flare-ups and maintaining skin harmony.
Citrus Aurantium Dulcis Peel Oil (Orange Peel Oil)
Used sparingly for its uplifting natural aroma and mild antioxidant and antimicrobial properties. It adds freshness without synthetic fragrance.
(Formulated well below typical sensitivity thresholds for essential oils.)
The Function of a Face Oil
When applied as the final step in a skincare routine, oils help:
-
Rebuild the barrier by replenishing essential lipids
-
Reduce water loss and support long-term hydration
-
Buffer the effects of active ingredients or exfoliants
-
Soothe reactivity and improve texture over time
This makes them particularly valuable for post-treatment, post-sun, or sensitised skin.
