Here’s a breakdown of the regenerating and healing properties of each ingredient in Artemis –

SWEET ALMOND OIL Ancient Chinese and Ayurvedic practices have used almond oil for centuries to help soothe and soften the skin and reduce scarring.

It contains vitamin A to stimulate the production of new skin cells and smooth fine lines, vitamin E to help prevent cell damage and contributes to smoothing the skin, omega -3 fatty acids that help prevent premature ageing and safeguard against sun damage and zinc which is an essential nutrient for healing acne or other scars.

It improves skin tone due to its emollient properties. It’s been used for centuries to treat dry skin conditions, including eczema and psoriasis and its fatty acid content may help to dissolve excess oil on the skin, while the retinoids in the oil may reduce the appearance of acne and improve cell turnover.

PATCHOULI OIL was popularised in the 1960s when the hippy generation was called the ‘Patchouli Generation’. This oil is so potent it’s been used for hundreds of years. Its high value was inspired by early European traders who exchanged patchouli for gold! It was believed that the Pharaoh, King Tutankhamun was buried with 10 gallons of patchouli oil inside his tomb.

Patchouli oil contains a variety of skin benefits and can help reduce the appearance blemishes and skin imperfections. It moisturises rough and chapped skin and helps the body retain a healthy-looking, youthful appearance.

Patchouli oil can encourage a restful sleep and is balancing, grounding and mood harmonising.

MYRRH OIL facilitates the fading of blemishes, soothes itchiness and reduces symptoms of eczema, psoriasis and other skin ailments. It cleans, moisturizes, and tightens the skin, reducing and preventing further chapping, cracking, and sagging. Myrrh protects the skin from infection by calming tissue inflammation. Its anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant properties address symptoms of indigestion and prevent toxins from accumulating in the circulatory system.

It lifts negative moods, promotes the feeling of being grounded, and encourages the feeling of spiritual awakening.

FRANKINCENSE OIL is a must in any skincare routine. It’s been used since Ancient Egyptian times to help keep the skin looking youthful and supple. Its benefits include the ability to strengthen skin and improve its tone and elasticity and it defends against bacteria and blemishes as a person ages. It may also help tone and lift skin, reduce the appearance of scars and acne, and heal wounds.

According to a review published in the Journal of Traditional and Complementary Medicine, frankincense oil reduces redness and skin irritation, while also producing a more even skin tone. Studies suggest that it’s the steroid-like structure of frankincense oil that contributes to its soothing effect on irritated skin.

Frankincense oil has a host of other benefits including reducing inflammation as noted in this study, it contains potential cancer-fighting properties, anti-bacterial effects which boost immunity and fight infections, improves anxiety and increases spiritual awareness. 

LAVENDER OIL is a herb native to northern Africa and the mountainous regions of the Mediterranean. It has been used for centuries to purify the skin and for its medicinal properties to treat anxiety and wound healing. When diluted in a carrier oil such as argan oil sweet almond oil, lavender can be used directly on the skin to assist with skin ailments and healing.

Lavender oil works to kill bacteria, which can prevent and heal acne breakouts. It unclogs pores and reduces inflammation. Lavender’s antiseptic, antifungal and anti-inflammatory properties also assist in treating eczema. It helps cleanse your skin and lessen redness and irritation.The antioxidants in lavender oil protect the skin from free radicals, which are partly responsible for fine lines and wrinkles on the skin. The oil’s pain-relieving and numbing effects help soothe inflammation, while the beta-caryophyllene in the oil also acts as a natural anti-inflammatory making it helpful for burns, insect bites and wound healing.

CLARY SAGE OIL receives its name from the Latin word “clarus,” meaning ‘clarifying’ or ‘cleansing’. It has a host of healing properties including being an anti-inflammatory, astringent, antidepressant, anti-inflammatory, anti-anxiety, antimicrobial, antibacterial, antifungal, antiseptic, antibiotic, antioxidant. Its sclareol content means its beneficial for balancing hormones.

Used topically on the skin clary sage essential oil is suited to both oily and dry skin types. It exhibits a cooling property that soothes skin afflicted with inflammation. Its balancing properties stabilise the production of natural oil and sebum to prevent acne breakouts. Its rich antioxidant content tones, tightens, and strengthens the skin. It can also calm rashes.

SANDALWOOD OIL Early studies indicate that sandalwood may have anti-inflammatory properties. In addition to these properties, sandalwood helps restore moisture to the skin. When the skin is adequately hydrated, it can appear plumper and lessen the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

EVERLASTING / HELICHRYSUM ITALICUM and MARIGOLD / CALENDULA OFFICINALIS FLOWER ESSENCES INFUSED IN OLIVE OIL Both Everlasting and Calendula are members of the daisy/sunflower family. Fresh golden blossoms of each flower are hand-gathered and solar infused into organic olive oil.

Olive oil is beneficial because of its fatty acid content. Applied on the skin it can protect against environmental damage. When olive oil is mixed in a formula in small amounts with other beneficial ingredients – as it is used in Artemis Rejuvenating Face/ Body Serum– you get the benefit of its emollient properties (softening and soothing the skin) along with antioxidant benefit.

Flower Essences in general capture the energetic imprint, or signature of a plant. Flowers are the highest expression of the life force of a plant. Their energy and expression is transferred into, captured and preserved by the extra virgin olive oil.

Everlasting/ helichrysum italicum and Marigold / Calendula officinalis flower essences hold the energetic imprint and energy of the vibrant yellow flower. This flower essence carries the energetic imprint of the sun, hope, and healing.

Helichrysum flower essence has significant therapeutic and spiritual attributes and is a potent catalyst to move through blockages and obstacles. It’s said to have an ability to clear the places within us that are emotionally damaged and wounded. It opens the doors of perception, allowing us to see ourselves and our lives in a new, fresh way, enhancing creative flow. It can be used to strengthen the will and to motivate and inspire.

Calendula officinalis was also known as Mary’s Gold because its golden blossoms bestow a mothering and calming touch, highly beneficial for all forms of irritation and inflammation. Calendula is renowned as a skin healing, restoration and skin-beautifying herb. It’s anti-inflammatory and disinfectant properties make it useful for a wide range of skin concerns including eczema, acne, cold sores, under-eye circles, scars, and dry skin. This flower essence is useful for anyone who has problematic skin.

A protectress goddesses, she symbolises the regenerative earth power over all living things. Artemis was the one who, immediately following her own birth, assisted her mother’s delivery of her brother in a long and difficult labour. She became known as the patroness of childbirth. She is known as the protectress of little children, baby animals and, yet, she also loves the hunt.
