A Deep Dive On Our Newest Product: OiLixer
It’s summertime and thoughts go naturally toward all things new and exciting! Here at Sage Stone Botanicals, we are definitely excited to share something new with you - our newest product, OiLixer! If you’ve been thinking about all natural skin care, shiny healthy hair, and beautiful nails, then you’ve come to the right place
Our new OiLixer has just landed on our website and now is your chance to check it out! But what is an OiLixer you might ask? Well, for starters, the word “Elixir” comes from the Arabic word “al-iksir”, which roughly translates as, “the substance that can transform.” Combine that with some special oils and you have an OiLixer.
So how did we create this deliciously hydrating product? Well, it all started with a trip to the founder’s favorite local salon.
Origin Story
Alyson, the founder of Sage Stone Botanicals, got the ball rolling on this product after visiting with a friend, Gina, at her local Eugene Salon, Glo Salon. They got talking about how popular oils had become in the skincare space and how Gina had a great oil recipe that just needed a manufacturer. Together, they co-created the OiLixer you see today in our store.
After getting the recipe from Gina, Alyson started preparing it for consumers. She used all of the original scents that Sage Stone Botanicals offers along with the addition of Amber Vanilla, which is a popular scent she often used when making products for her mom in the early days of Sage Stone Botanicals.
Once the labels were on the bottles and all of the scented oils were ready to go, they hosted a soft launch at Glo Salon to showcase the product. It went well and they sold several bottles! Now it’s ready for the masses in our online store.
Spotlight Ingredients
The ingredients for this OiLixer are the real heroes in this story. The combination results in a lightweight oil for skin, nails, and hair. Rosehip Seed oil keeps this nourishing formula “dry”, while jojoba and Vitamin E oil deeply penetrate the skin and hair follicles. Jojoba has a close composition to the sebum or normal oil secreted by human skin. This quality enhances absorption into the skin and leaves it feeling more hydrated. Vitamin E oil is well known for being an antioxidant and helps to prevent premature aging. It absorbs fully without leaving the skin with a greasy feel. It’s a match made in heaven!
Taking a deeper dive into these ingredients brings us to take a closer look at Rosehip Seed Oil specifically. Rosehips are the part of the rose flower that contains the rose plant seeds, and those contain nutritional compounds, including Vitamin A, antioxidants, and essential fatty acids, such as Omega-3 and Omega-6.
Vitamin A acts as a natural retinol and has been known for its ability to reduce hyperpigmentation amongst other visible signs of aging. Rosehip seed oil can help with tissue and cell regeneration. Just what you need when your skin is exposed to the hot summer sun!
What This Oil Is For
So, what do you do with this OiLixir? For starters, this multipurpose oil can be used on hair and the scalp, nails, hands, and cuticles. Whether you’re looking for something to help with dry patches, nail and cuticle care, or even an ultra hydrating facial oil, it can meet the needs of a variety of skincare treatments.
One other use for this OiLixir, in keeping with those transformative properties,is to try using it for a home massage. It’s hard to beat a fragrant natural oil with a soothing massage to make you feel like a brand new YOU!
How To Use It
For the hair, you can apply it to dry ends or massage it into the scalp. You can massage it into cuticles or dry patches on the body. And when using it for massage, heat it up in your hands before applying it for a smooth application.
Oils are good for hydrating and repairing damaged skin and hair. Many oils are rich in vitamins, antioxidants, and essential fatty acids. They are known to calm inflammation, minimize fine lines, moisturize skin, and improve problematic acne flare-ups.
We are so excited about our new OiLixir, and can’t wait to hear back from you about what you like best about it! Transform your beautiful self with the latest product from Sage Stone Botanicals and seize the summer!
