St John's Wort Infused Oil (Hypericum perforatum)
St John's Wort Infused Oil is a traditional herbal oil made by infusing Hypericum perforatum in sunflower oil, a preparation used in European herbal tradition since the Middle Ages and prized for its distinctive red colour.
It has traditionally been used to nourish and soften dry, sensitive or tired-looking skin, and in massage for muscles and joints that feel sore or stiff. It has been reported to help leave skin feeling calm, soft and comfortable.
Popular in massage oils, balms, creams and lip products, it can be used on its own or blended with other carrier oils and essential oils.
