ONCE IN A BLUE MOON

Once in a blue moon. That’s what’s said when something remarkable and unique happens. And at aos, something special is happening; we’re getting ready to release the new Blue Sapphire Illuminating Body Oil.

Like the Blue Sapphire Facial Oil, the body oil is a luxurious and reparative blend of potent botanical oils that soothe and calm your skin. This body oil offers a unique blend of rejuvenating and indulgent properties that can transform your post-shower or bathing routine into a truly indulgent experience. It also contains antioxidants and vitamins that contribute to maintaining healthy skin. Aromatically, the body oil is calming, helping to release stress and promote relaxation.

What is Blue Tansy?

Blue Tansy, also known as Moroccan Chamomile, is rich in a compound called chamazulene, which gives the Blue Sapphire Facial Oil and Blue Sapphire Illuminating Body Oil their distinctive blue-green color along with a variety of skincare benefits. 

Because Blue Tansy contains chamazulene, which is known for its soothing properties, it helps to calm dry, irritated skin. Additionally, it is a potent antioxidant that aids in nourishing and protecting your skin.

The Blue Tansy used by aos is wild harvested and steam-distilled from the flowers of the herb. During distillation, the bright yellow flower turns blue, giving the oils their gorgeous color. 

How do the Body Oil and Facial Oil differ?

The blend of oils in the Blue Sapphire Illuminating Body Oil helps provide hydration, combat dryness and leave your skin feeling soft and supple.

The body oil has been formulated to include Apricot Kernel Oil. This oil is packed with antioxidant-rich vitamins A and E. Because it is a rich oil it is better suited to the skin of the body, which typically needs more moisture than the skin on your face. It is rich in fatty acids, which help to hydrate and moisturize. It also helps to form a protective barrier on the skin’s surface, preventing moisture loss and revitalizing the skin leaving it smooth and supple. 

The facial oil contains meadowfoam seed oil, which is lighter and drier, making it better suited to the skin of the face. We also added rosehip and carrot seed as base oils. These gentle oils soothe and nourish delicate facial skin without feeling heavy or greasy. 

How does the concentration of essential oils in the two formulas differ?

The body oil contains less than 3% essential oils (2.9% to be exact). 

The facial oil is very concentrated; we use 10% essential oils and it’s designed to be added to other products. 

Can the body oil be used on the face? 

This is not advised. Most skin types will find the body oil too heavy for use on the face. Also, the facial oil, which is very concentrated, is meant to be used as a potent booster to use with your other moisturizers. The body oil is meant to be applied directly to damp or dry skin.

If you are already a fan of the Blue Sapphire Facial Oil, then the Blue Sapphire Illuminating is going to be the decadent treat your body has been waiting for.

Prepare to be pampered.
