PRECIOUS FACE ELIXIR / Nutrient Charged Resurrecting Oil
My all time fave and OG face oil. The one I started LEPAAR with back in 2016 to help my skin clear heavy pregnancy Melasma I've lived more or less self consciously with since I've had my daughter in 2003.
To be honest, I am not a big mirror person so I was able to not think about it all the time. It only became a source of agony with the dawn of iPhones and ensuing selfies. All of a sudden I felt quite exposed and utterly self conscious, although Christo still tells me he loved my dark spots and I do believe him. Still, I longed for my face to be clear and so my PRECIOUS was born.
The disappearance was slow, but steady and took years. There's this thing Christo told me his Aikido Sensei said that stuck with me: "Take the one seed" – A parable of the single seed that requires application, cultivation, and patience to grow.
PRECIOUS FACE ELIXIR is my high performance + multi-purpose face oil, composed with Ceramide-rich plant oils, sun-infused whole plant extracts and charged with 24k Gold to address all skin concerns, harmonise cell turnover and strengthen barrier function in all stages and ages of life — day after day.
PRECIOUS is a timeless, nutrient packed game changer that really locks in moisture, bestows radiant glow and abundant vitality, stimulates cell renewal, boosts elasticity, halts collagen depletion, moisturises at cellular level, firms and tones, balances hormonal breakouts, fades pigmentation, and offers rockstar antioxidant protection.
Super powered by our signature SACRED TRINITY CHARGE™ of Frankincense, Myrrh, Vanilla, Saffron, Light Root and 24k Gold to balance body-soul-spirit alignment.
Essential oil free.

*Certified organic **certified Demeter biodynamic ^wildcrafted "non-nano/cert cosmetic. Extracts are sun-infused for a minimum of 4 months in Demeter certified biodynamic olive oil. Botanicals are hand picked, air dried or sun cured. Resins are fair trade.
All our extracts are made by sun-infusing whole plant material into early harvest virgin cold pressed biodynamic Olive oil. First harvest, unripe Olives yield a beautifully nutrient oil with spectacularly high phenolic content, which stabilises and naturally preserves not only our extracts but also our skin.
In this ancient method of bioactive botanical extraction, we co-infuse all the compositions botanicals together, so they commune and synergise, enhancing each other's potency and bioavailablity.
Each plant component has a specific purpose that is intrinsically linked to other compounds. There is massive evidence now that synergistic whole plant extracts are much more powerful than isolated, single components.
