rosehip seed oil - trans-retinoic acid is a natural form of vitamin A naturally found in rosehip seed oil. vitamin A has been found to help treat acne along with signs of aging. said to help reduce irritation

Coenzyme Q10, Q-MAX - vital to production of energy within cells. It is also a very powerful antioxidant or free radical scavenger. can penetrate the cell layers of the skin and may attenuate the depth of wrinkles due to photo aging, as well as epithelial cell turnover.

caprylic capric triglyceride - non-greasy and light weight. It comes in the form of an oily liquid and mainly works as an emollient, dispersing agent and solvent. is an emollient ester and similar to plant oils since it has an oily texture, but is much more light weight and far less greasy. It has a dry, silky oil, feel that is almost powdery because it is still present on the skin but not greasy.

vitamin E - reduces UV-induced free radical damage to the skin. It also protects cells against the effects of free radicals which are formed as by-products of the body’s metabolic processes. Also an antioxidant and a nutrient that is best known for maintaining skin health. promotes the growth of new skin and hair. By soothing and preventing dryness, itching, flaking, and burning, it promotes the look of a youthful, radiant complexion as well as healthier and more lustrous strands.

Substitutions;

so there really are no rules with facial oils. You could use just the pure turmeric oil as a facial oil, but I wanted to add in a blend of oil along with the Q10. You can do any mix of oils you prefer, but I did offer subs that are similar to the oils I used.

  • turmeric oil - needed in order for it to be a "turmeric" facial oil

  • papaya oil - carrot seed oil or lemon peel oil

  • rosehip seed oil - camellia/tsubaki oil, chia seed oil, goji berry oil

  • Coenzyme Q10, Q-MAX - Coenzyme Q10 powder or leave out

  • caprylic capric triglyceride - c12-15 alkyl benzoate, squalane, or other emollient ester

  • vitamin E - no sub, but you can leave out
