First Frost Face Serum

Rosehip, sea buckthorn & blue tansy

Sale price $96Regular price $112−14%Rated 4.9 out of 5 from 176 reviews

Our most concentrated formula, and the only one we cannot make year-round. Rosehips (Rosa rubiginosa) are picked from the hedgerow along the north field after the first hard frost, which softens the fruit and lifts the oil yield, then cold-pressed within a week. We blend the oil with sea buckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides) for its deep orange carotenoids and a little blue tansy (Tanacetum annuum) for calm, which is also where the faint indigo colour comes from.

Three to five drops pressed into damp skin at night, before any cream. Rosehip oil is traditionally used to support skin tone and texture over weeks of consistent use. This batch is made from one harvest window and once the season is pressed, that is the year - the tin says which one.

    The first label I could actually verify

    I looked up the lot number on the adaptogen pouch and got a real COA with the heavy metal panel on it, plus a harvest date three weeks before it arrived. That is not normal in this category. The blend itself is earthy and dissolves properly in warm milk.

    The body oil replaced three bottles

    Light enough for summer, rich enough after a bath in February, and the unscented one is genuinely unscented rather than smelling of sunflower. The glass goes back to them and they credit me four dollars, which after six months has more or less paid for a bar of soap.

    Good tea, wish the tin were bigger

    The Evening Tulsi is the best herbal tea I have had that is not sweetened into a dessert - you can smell the linden before the water is even poured. Eighty grams goes fast in a two-person house, so order the refill pouch with it.

    They answered a real question honestly

    I emailed to ask whether the mineral tincture was sensible alongside a thyroid medication and an herbalist wrote back the same afternoon telling me to check with my doctor first and explaining exactly why. No hard sell. I bought the tea instead and came back for the tincture later.
