Rose Glimmer Face Oil
- A botanical face oil with a soft, light-reflective glow. Botanical carrier oils and essential oils, given a mineral sheen rather than a synthetic base. See the formula.
- Botanicals, no synthetic fragrance and no water. The scent comes from essential oils, not a manufactured perfume, and there's no water or silicone base.
- A rose-led scent lifted by citrus. The rose leads, bergamot brightens it, and lavender, ho wood and geranium round it out. What it smells like.
- A little goes a long way. Smooth a small amount of Rose Glimmer Face Oil over the face, and shake the bottle first, since the mica settles. How to use.
- Oils we use, third-party tested. Like everything we sell, these are essential oils we use ourselves, each screened by an outside lab for adulteration, pesticides and synthetics.
- The face version of our Rose Glimmer oils. For all-over use we make a separate Rose Glimmer Body Oil, so keep this one for the face.

Rose Glimmer Face Oil, our rose-lit botanical oil for the face
5 benefits of Rose Glimmer Face Oil
Light on the face, no greasy film
Rose Glimmer Face Oil sits light on the face because its base is quick-absorbing plant oils led by apricot kernel and argan. Press a little in and it softens the skin as it goes, rather than leaving a greasy film. Castor and meadowfoam add a touch of slip that helps it spread.
A rose-forward botanical scent
A rose-forward floral runs through Rose Glimmer Face Oil, drawn from its essential oils. Bulgarian rose otto leads the rose with geranium alongside, lavender adds a soft sweet floral, ho wood keeps it gentle, and bergamot brightens the top with a fresh citrus lift. It reads as flowers, warm and a little sweet as it wears.
Light-reflective shimmer, not a coarse sparkle
The glow in Rose Glimmer Face Oil comes from natural pink and silver mica with cosmetic-grade silica, minerals that catch and throw back the light. On the face they leave a soft, luminous sheen, not a chunky sparkle. A thin layer reads as a whisper of light, and it stays subtle on skin.
Named oils, not a lab fragrance
This face oil is built on plant oils and essential oils, with no synthetic fragrance, no water and no silicone. Every ingredient is one you can name, from the four plant carriers to the rose otto and bergamot that scent it. You can read the whole label, unlike a glow oil built on esters and parfum.
Oils you could buy on their own
Every essential oil in this face oil is also sold singly in our range, from Bulgarian rose otto to wildcrafted bergamot. The scent is named essential oils, not a lab fragrance. It reads like a perfumer's shelf, each oil chosen and named.
How to use
Shake or roll first
Before useShake or roll the bottle before each use, because the silica and mica are heavier than the oils and settle to the bottom. A few turns brings the shimmer back through the oil so it spreads evenly. Give it a moment before you press any onto your skin.
Press into cleansed skin
On the skinPress or pat a few drops over cleansed face and neck toward the end of your routine, after your moisturizer, and massage until it absorbs. A little covers a lot, so start light and add more only if you want more glow. This is the face oil, so keep it to the face and use a body oil for all-over glow.
Before makeup and daytime SPF
DaytimeGive the oil a few minutes to soak in before makeup, so it sits under your other products rather than over them. In the morning, finish with your usual daytime SPF. Worn this way it slips into the skin and leaves the glow behind.
Sun sense and a patch test
Skin safetyThe bergamot here is cold-pressed, which makes it phototoxic. Keep freshly oiled skin out of strong sun and off sunbeds for at least 12 hours, and ideally through the next day, or wear it at night. Do a patch test on the inner arm first if your skin is reactive or sensitive. Keep the oil to external use only, away from the eyes and out of reach of children and pets.
