The Inspiration Behind Our Midsummer Bath & Body Oil…
Choice of Ingredients
Paired with our skin soothing seaweed infused organic jojoba oil, raspberry seed oil is rich in vitamins A and E and has anti- inflammatory properties that soothes skin. These antioxidant abundant oils work synergistically to nourish sun-weary skin, particularly beneficial in the summer months when we naturally spend more time our doors.
Raspberry Seed Oil is also thought to have protective qualities as a natural SPF. However, I haven’t seen full proof scientific evidence to back this up. I absolutely recommend using a certified SPF in the day, and our Midsummer Body Oil as an after-sun product.
As you likely know, we harvest the vitamin and mineral rich seaweed by hand from the shores of our island home. And a fun fact; the raspberry seeds cold pressed for their oil, are a by-product of the fruit jam making industry! This lovely combination of natural oils will leave your skin glowing, with minimal impact on our precious planet.
Connecting With Our Senses
Midsummer is scented with organic essential oils. I wanted to create a fragrance blend that evoked the sense of possibility felt on a beautiful, long summer’s day. You know that feeling where you wake up and there is a scent in the air, a slight buzz of excitement and a feeling in your soul, that a gorgeous summer’s day lies ahead?
The inspiration for the scent came from the rock samphire that grows on the islands’ coast paths during the summer months. It has a bittersweet citrus scent that is instantly uplifting. I turned to the oils of the citrus orange family to help me recreate this sensory summer’s day experience.
The organic essential oil blend is made up of…
Sweet Orange: the ultimate happy oil! The fragrance of sweet orange is cheerful and uplifting, whilst simultaneously relaxing. Inhaling this scent has been found to slow heart rates, rather like sitting in the sun.
Petitgrain: bursting with positivity, Petitgrain promotes feeling of hope and calm, joy and bravery, as well as soothing any feelings of panic.
Bergamot: this floral citrus oil helps to balance mood and ease anxiety. In studies, the scent of Bergamot has also been found to help release serotonin and dopamine, key hormones that regulate mood.
