100% Natural St. John's Wort Oil (Hypericum perforatum) – Gentle Care for Skin and Massage Rituals
St. John's Wort oil is one of the traditional herbal oils that has maintained its place in body care for centuries. We obtain it by gently macerating St. John's Wort flowers in cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil. Thanks to this gentle process, a range of valuable fat-soluble plant compounds are released into the oil.
St. John's Wort (Hypericum perforatum) is an herb that was traditionally harvested during the summer solstice around St. John's Day. In folk customs, it was hung over the doors of houses and stables as a symbol of protection and light. Today, St. John's Wort oil is popular primarily for gentle skin care and as part of relaxing massage oils.

Our tip: St. John's Wort oil beautifully complements gentle, soothing fragrances. For an evening atmosphere, try a blend with lavender or chamomile oil. For a diffuser, 2 drops of lavender + 1 drop of chamomile is sufficient for a pleasantly calm environment, or 3 drops of lavender for gentle evening home fragrance.
