Tea Seed Elixir

Description

A skin-balancing facial oil.

When all you want is luminosity (sans oiliness) for your skin, Tea Seed Elixir delivers. This smart cocktail of sweet orange, pink grapefruit and nourishing oils from tea seed, flaxseed and apricot may balance oil production, shrink blemishes and brighten skin tone.

With origins in Southeast Asia, tea seed oil—from the seeds of the Camellia sinensis, the plant from which all teas are made—was adopted by Japanese geishas as a backstage staple to remove their iconic makeup and nourish their porcelain skin. For the modern beauty ritual, it’s the key ingredient in this elixir. An oily T-zone and parched patches everywhere else has always been a fundamentally tricky skin issue, but Tea Seed Elixir takes the burden off. It may help moisturize and impart a dewy glow that makes you look lit from within.
