💆 A multi-use botanical face oil from Herbal Skin Solutions — purpose-built for estheticians who want one backbar product that works across pre-cleanse, leave-on nourishment, and hands-on facial services.

The formula's anhydrous base — anchored by prickly pear, pomegranate seed, and borage oils — delivers a concentrated hit of essential fatty acids (linoleic, GLA, and rare omega-5 punicic acid) alongside natural tocopherol. That combination supports the lipid barrier, calms the look of redness, and creates a smooth, friction-free glide for dermaplaning, Gua Sha, cupping, vacuum therapy, and massage. For sensitive or reactive dermaplaning clients, oil-planing throughout the service is a built-in upgrade — less post-service redness, better client experience, easy premium add-on.

As a pre-cleanse, it dissolves makeup, SPF, and excess sebum through oil-to-oil dissolution before a water-based second cleanse. Suitable across all skin types, including acne-prone and dehydrated.

Add it to your facial service rotation when clients need a nourishing glide that pulls double duty as a pre-cleanse.

• Barrier-supporting nourishment: The concentrated blend of essential fatty acids — including omega-5 from pomegranate seed, GLA from borage, and linoleic acid from prickly pear — helps replenish the skin's lipid layer, supporting moisture retention and leaving skin feeling softer and more supple.
• Antioxidant skin protection: Natural tocopherol (vitamin E) combined with the antioxidant-rich profiles of prickly pear and pomegranate seed oils helps protect the skin's surface from the visible effects of environmental oxidative stress, contributing to a brighter, more even-toned appearance.
• Radiance and glow enhancement: The emollient oils create a smooth, light-reflective surface on the skin, visibly improving radiance and contributing to a healthy-looking glow without a heavy or greasy finish.
• Effective pre-cleanse and makeup removal: Applied as an oil pre-cleanse, the formula dissolves excess sebum, makeup, SPF, and environmental buildup through oil-to-oil dissolution, facilitating a thorough cleansing routine when followed by a water-based cleanser.
• Professional-grade service glide medium: The anhydrous, skin-compatible oil base provides a smooth, controlled glide for facial services including dermaplaning, Gua Sha, cupping, facial massage, vacuum therapy, and reflexology, reducing friction while simultaneously delivering nourishing fatty acids during treatment.

Opuntia Ficus-Indica Seed Oil - known as Prickly Pear Seed Oil: One of the most nutrient-dense botanical oils available, exceptionally rich in linoleic acid (omega-6) and vitamin E (tocopherols). Its high essential fatty acid content helps reinforce the skin's lipid barrier, supporting moisture retention and a softer surface texture on leave-on application.

Punica Granatum Seed Oil - known as Pomegranate Seed Oil: Distinctive for its high content of punicic acid (omega-5 conjugated linolenic acid), a rare polyunsaturated fatty acid with strong antioxidant properties. Contributes to the oil's overall antioxidant profile and helps protect the skin's surface from oxidative stress on the skin's appearance.

Borago Officinalis Seed Oil - known as Borage Seed Oil: Among the richest plant sources of gamma-linolenic acid (GLA, omega-6), a fatty acid associated with supporting the skin's surface barrier and reducing the appearance of dryness and redness. Particularly relevant for sensitive, reactive, and dry skin types listed in the product's target profiles.

Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil - known as Argan Oil: A leave-on emollient rich in oleic acid, linoleic acid, and tocopherols. Imparts smoothness and softness to the skin surface through its fatty acid profile, while its natural tocopherol content adds antioxidant support. A well-established ingredient for dry and dull skin concerns.

Tocopherol - known as Vitamin E: A lipid-soluble antioxidant that helps protect the formulation's unsaturated fatty acids from oxidative degradation, while also providing antioxidant activity at the skin surface during leave-on wear. Supports the formula's stability and contributes to the overall antioxidant benefit profile.

1. Dispense 4–6 drops of oil onto clean fingertips or directly into the palm.
2. For pre-cleanse use: Apply to the client's dry face and massage gently to dissolve makeup, SPF, excess sebum, and surface impurities; follow with a water-based cleanser to complete the cleanse.
3. For leave-on nourishment: After cleansing and toning, apply 4–6 drops to the client's face and neck, pressing the oil gently into the skin; layer under or over moisturizer as preferred.
4. For dermaplaning: Apply a few drops directly to the treatment area to create a smooth glide surface before performing the dermaplaning stroke; for sensitive or reactive skin, use the oil-planing technique throughout the service.
5. For facial massage, Gua Sha, cupping, facial reflexology, or vacuum therapy: Apply sufficient drops to the treatment area to allow smooth, friction-free tool or hand movement across the skin surface.
6. For body use: Increase the number of drops as needed for the surface area being treated and massage into the skin until absorbed.

Service integration and client type adjustments

For clients with sensitive or reactive skin who typically experience post-dermaplaning dryness or irritation, oil-planing throughout the service — rather than using a dry blade technique — can significantly improve the experience and reduce visible redness after treatment. Introduce this as a premium add-on to the dermaplaning menu.

Because this formula contains cold-pressed citrus peel oils, schedule treatments using this product as pre-evening-service applications or ensure clients are counseled to avoid sun exposure immediately after. This is especially important for clients who book morning appointments before outdoor activities.
