About the Recipe
Store-bought moisturizers and serums often contain preservatives, silicones, synthetic fragrances, and fillers that can clog pores, irritate sensitive skin, and disrupt your skin’s natural balance. Facial oils are a simple, effective way to nourish your skin with pure, plant-based ingredients—no harsh chemicals required.
When formulated properly, facial oils can actually help regulate oil production and bring your skin back into balance. This lightweight serum is designed to support oily and combination skin—helping reduce excess shine, calm congestion, and promote a clearer, more even complexion.

4.5 tsp jojoba oil

5 drops tea tree essential oil
(antibacterial and anti-inflammatory)
3 drops frankincense essential oil
(supports skin regeneration and elasticity)

Pro Tips
Make it last longer – Add 5–10 drops of vitamin E oil to your blend. Vitamin E acts as a natural preservative and provides antioxidant benefits that support skin repair and protect from environmental damage.
Massage it in – Spend a minute gently massaging the oil into your skin to stimulate circulation and boost absorption.
Test and tweak – Everyone’s skin is different! If your skin feels too oily or not hydrated enough, adjust the ratios by adding more of the base oil (jojoba or sweet almond) or reducing the castor oil.
