Michael Face & Body Oil
Frankincense — The resin monastery infirmaries kept for skin — long used on mature, weathered complexions. Dry and resinous in scent.
Myrrh — The ancient companion to frankincense, traditionally used on skin that is cracked, chapped, or very dry. Smoky and bitter-sweet.
Geranium Flower — Citronellol and geraniol — the rosy compounds that make geranium a standard in balancing, redness-calming blends. Green and softly floral.
Lavender — Linalool — studied for shielding skin from everyday oxidative stress. Clean and herbal.
Cedarwood Atlas — Cedrol — grounding and resinous; it anchors the blend. Dry wood, quiet and warm.
Amyris Wood — Sesquiterpenes including valerianol. A soft balsamic wood that conditions skin — sweet, woody, and slow to fade.

It's a nourishing face and body oil for skin that feels dry, rough, or looks tired. Geranium and lavender calm the look of redness and help balance skin; the resins condition and soften. Pressed in day or night, it leaves skin comforted and supple, with a quiet, lit-from-within finish — a favorite for dry patches, weather-worn spots, and the marks that linger. One oil doing the work of several.
Four botanicals carry it. Geranium and lavender are the skin-conditioning heart — long reached for to calm the look of redness and soften rough patches. Frankincense and myrrh are the two ancient resins, the wound-and-skin remedies the monastery infirmaries kept for centuries, as Dioscorides had taught. Together they make a light oil that comforts, evens, and conditions, face or body.
It's one of the things people love it for. Geranium and myrrh have a long history on cracked and weather-worn skin, and lavender on skin that's healing. Michael won't erase anything overnight — think of it as a conditioning oil that, used over weeks, helps skin look smoother and more comfortable. Especially good on dry shins, elbows, and the odd stubborn mark.
Both. A few drops are enough for the face; a little more works over dry shins, elbows, or a C-section scar. The oil that suits a delicate cheek is rich enough for the roughest skin on the body.
Morning or night, on clean skin. Warm two or three drops between your hands and press — don't rub — into your face or body. It layers last: after any serum and moisturizer, and in the morning, before sunscreen.
Warm and resinous — frankincense and myrrh over dry cedar and soft amyris, with a thread of lavender and green geranium running through. Incense-like, but bright: clear, a little sweet at the edges, never heavy. It wears close to the skin and settles within minutes, so many people wear it on its own and skip perfume entirely.
