This formula was born out of necessity, for skin that has to endure cold and challenging weather conditions in the upper Midwest. Thicker, emollient oils nourish and protect delicate skin from the elements and dry-air conditions without the worry of clogging pores. It is soothing, rich, and scented lightly with beautiful floral jasmine and sensual elemi. Minnesota-grown marshmallow root, rich in mucilage, adds soothing, softening, and moistening properties. Cold-pressed organic fruit seed oils add a high level of carotenoids to provide antioxidants that assist with improving skin texture and tone.
