Escentia St. Johns Wort Infused Oil (Hypericum perforatum) is a botanical infused oil made by infusing fresh St. John’s Wort flowers into grapeseed oil. It is used in body care and massage blends where a richer, more soothing oil is wanted for dry-feeling or overworked areas. This is an infused carrier oil, not an essential oil, so it can be used on its own or as a base for suitably diluted essential oil blends. Made in South Africa, it is a versatile addition to body oils and targeted massage routines.
♡ Why we love it: This beautiful red infused oil has a wonderfully traditional, botanical feel to it. It is especially lovely for massage blends and everyday body care where you want something gentle, comforting, and easy to work into your routine.

For Your Safety
This natural product is for external use only. Please exercise caution and do not ingest or take internally. Store away from children, animals, sunlight and heat. If pregnant or breastfeeding, please consult with your medical care-giver before use.

Seeing as I can't grow St.John's Wort on my own it's extremely convenient that Essentially Natural stocks the infused oil. It has a beautiful red colour and works wonders on the muscles of the body. Highly recommend this product. Will be coming back for more.
I use this oil as the main component in making my Pain Relief Salve and will be lost without Essentially Natural since I cannot get it anywhere else locally. I even handed out small samples of the salve to friends, and received requests for more, so I can definitely see this product becoming a regular on my Essentially Natural shopping list.
