Oils. If the idea of putting oil on your face still makes you imagine shiny foreheads and breakouts, it’s time to learn about the types of oils used in Eminence Organic Skin Care. From well-known jojoba to the exotic monoi, our facial oils are blended to give you a glowing — not greasy — complexion. Read on to learn about these natural oils and which might be best for your face.
1. Rosehip Oil
This luxurious oil is a key ingredient in our best-selling Rosehip Triple C+E Firming Oil and our Rosehip & Lemongrass Lip Balm SPF 15. It’s packed with vitamin C, which is great for skin. As an antioxidant, vitamin C helps neutralize free radicals — unstable molecules that can damage proteins like collagen and speed up aging. Antioxidants donate electrons to these free radicals, stopping the damage and helping protect collagen, which keeps skin firm and springy.
That’s why rosehip oil is excellent for skin that’s losing elasticity or developing fine lines and wrinkles. According to Dr. Axe, the vitamin C in rosehip oil can help restore the look of elasticity. Beyond that, rosehip oil deeply hydrates, helps fade dark spots, and reduces redness. Celebrity facialist Joanna Vargas notes that rosehip has been used for thousands of years by the ancient Egyptians, Mayans, and Native Americans because of its effectiveness.
2. Seabuckthorn Oil
Originating in the Himalayas and long used across Asia and Europe, seabuckthorn oil is now gaining popularity worldwide. Traditionally used to heal wounds and treat dry skin, it’s another rich source of vitamin C. It also contains vitamins A and E, beta-carotene, omega-3 fatty acids, and minerals. In our Rosehip Triple C+E Firming Oil, seabuckthorn helps prevent signs of aging and supports firm, elastic skin. You’ll also find it in our Seabuckthorn Balancing Masque, made with Biodynamic® ingredients.
3. Jojoba Oil
Found in our Lavender Age Corrective Night Concentrate, jojoba oil brings a host of benefits, including B vitamins, copper, zinc, selenium, and vitamin E. Its standout feature is that it closely mimics your skin’s natural oils. That means it signals to your skin that it’s moisturized, so your skin produces less sebum — reducing shine and helping balance oil production, as noted by Wellness Today.

4. Monoi Oil
Monoi is a traditional South Pacific oil used for centuries to protect skin from strong sun and drying salt water. It’s featured in our Monoi Age Corrective line, including the Monoi Age Corrective Exfoliating Cleanser, Monoi Age Corrective Night Body Cream, and Monoi Age Corrective Night Cream for Face & Neck. This fragrant Tahitian oil is made by soaking Tahitian gardenia petals in oil. It deeply hydrates and improves the look of the skin’s surface, leaving skin looking firmer.
