Vitis Vinifera (Grape) seed oil,
Grape seed oil is a light antioxidant rich oil derived from the seeds of grapes. This magnificent skin hydrator absorbs completely into the skin and is rich in antioxidants, 50 times richer than vitamin E , neutralizing the free radicals that our skin comes in contact with every day. Grape seed oil contains essential fatty acids, which are paramount for a healthy, glowing, hydrated skin
Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) seed oil
Jojoba oil is extracted from the seeds and rich in essential fatty acids and vitamins. For centuries, women have used this oil to moisturise their skin and care for their hair. Jojoba oil is in fact a liquid wax that can be used as an excellent moisturiser. It is compatible with the skin due to its likeliness to the skin’s sebum and therefore it can penetrate deep into your skin like no other natural oil can do.
Persea Gratissima (Avocado) oil
Exceptionally rich in vitamins, minerals, proteins and essential fatty acids, this oil is remarkable for its outstanding regenerative properties. It is a natural oil, and is rich in monounsaturated fatty acids that will soften and revitalise rough, dry skin. Avocado oil penetrates the skin more deeply than other oils allowing it to transport nutrients through the outer epidermis of the skin and into the dermis for increased effectiveness. Avocado oil is great for all skin types, and is especially kind to mature, sensitive or troubled skin. Nourishes and reputedly repairs dehydrated, scarred skin.
Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E acetate)
Vitamin E, is a natural preservative, anti-oxidant and moisturiser. Vitamin E is a natural, safe anti-oxidant that is good for the skin and hair. The anti-oxidants and emollients help protect collagen, encourage cell regeneration and smooth the skin.

Jan'sTip
My experience as a midwife has found that women are keen to reduce the likelihood of tears to the perineum during birth. I’m sure that you are exactly the same! I recommend massaging our oil into your perineum up 5 to 10 minutes a day from 34 weeks. After a bath or shower works best. Ladies find that using the oil as recommended gives them the confidence to deliver their babies knowing their bodies. They also feel safe knowing that they have prepared their bodies as best they can to adapt to birth. If you’re having a caesarean section, you can use our oil on scars–ask your midwife when you can use it on your c-section scar. Amazing for an arm and hand massage too to help relax you.
