Infused Olive Oil in Our Rejuvenating Face Cream

Why we chose to use Infused olive oil for our Rejuvenating Face Cream


As you likely know, we are committed to using the best, natural ingredients in our products and we are excited about this one!  We have 100% pure Frankincense resin which we infused into extra virgin olive oil and we did the same thing with beautiful, pure lavender buds.  Using these botanical extracts in our goat milk face cream gave our cream a silky texture, soft rich scent, and extra skin benefits.

What an infusion is vs. essential oil


Infused oil: plant material (resin or buds) is macerated in a carrier oil (here, extra-virgin olive oil) to extract soluble compounds over time or with gentle heat. Results are a full-spectrum, oil-soluble extract that carries both aromatic and skin-beneficial constituents in a mild form.
Essential oil: highly concentrated, aromatic compounds extracted by distillation or cold press. Potent, strong aroma, and powerful biological activity so not much is needed.

Benefits of olive oil infused with pure frankincense resin in goat milk face cream

  • Gentle resinous compound: resin infusion delivers non-volatile, oil-soluble fractions of frankincense that support skin tone and texture.
  • Softer aroma: warm, resinous scent that blends smoothly into cream, providing a subtle, long-lasting fragrance without overpowering.
  • Improved skin-feel and barrier support: olive oil carrier contributes fatty acids and antioxidants; combined with resin constituents, the infusion promotes a cushiony, emollient finish which is perfect in our goat milk face cream.
  • Low irritation risk: the infusion concentrates resin-soluble actives creating a, skin-friendly oil.

Benefits of olive oil infused with pure lavender buds in goat milk face cream

  • Milder, full-spectrum lavender profile: an infusion captures delicate, oil-soluble constituents
  • Calming, approachable scent: floral, soft aroma that appeals to sensitive-skin users.
    Soothing and gentle: many users find infused lavender kinder to reactive skin because concentrations of volatile allergens are low.

We chose this infusion blend for our Rejuvenating Face Cream  for several reasons:


1. Gentle for sensitive skin: our goat milk products are good for sensitive skin and using these infused olive oils adds nutritional benefits while making this face cream a great choice for those with very sensitive skin.

2. Gentler scent:  We usually like a gentle scent on our face, or none.  This fits that perfectly! 

3. Natural, broad range of natural skin benefits.

To sum it up


We believe you will love this face cream!  These infusions offer you a milder, fuller-spectrum, and skin-compatible alternative for those with sensitive skin delivering subtle aroma, improved emollience, and lower irritation risk.  However, if you know your  skin is sensitive, we offer no guarantees that this will not be an irritant, so choose accordingly.
