Acmella, known as the ‘natural botox alternative’ is a proven natural anti-wrinkle treatment.’* Acmella extract contains analgesic alkylamides called splinthol that help soften the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Love Letters

"I absolutely cannot live without the Restore Facial Oil! Since I’ve added it to my skin routine, my face has felt completely nurtured and pampered. I find that it just keeps my skin feeling balanced and supported for the entire day! It also makes for an excellent choice of oil for a facial massage! My favourite products to pair it with are the Kawakawa Hydrosol and the Sun Wind and Sea Skin Balm for maximum moisture support and restoration. A definite must have! DMx" - Deva, Wellington Apothecary Ambassador + Manager

"My favourite stand out product is the Restore Oil. I love how versatile it is for all skin types and just how simple it is to use. I've had a lot of good feedback about my skin since using it and have been tempted to use it as a full body oil! After gaining guidance from Facialist, Steph, I have found that the Restore oil's magic is augmented by matching it with a hydrosol - my current choice is the rose which is so soothing and uplifting, and mixing it with a small pump or two of the Sun Wind Sea Serum. It can feel a little tacky when initially applied but soaks in and leaves the skin dewy and soft. It's heavenly!  I also find by combining the three products, a little goes a really long way and I am using that combo at least twice daily." - Natalee, Wellington Apothecary Naturopath

"The Restore Oil has changed my skin, after the first few weeks of using it my skin felt stronger, plumper and my skin tone appeared to even out to the point that I rarely wear make up these days. I love the subtle herbaceous aroma and rich texture of the oil and find it absorbs beautifully. I apply 3 drops morning and night after cleansing. Some days I add a little Calendula Rose Cream to dryer areas if my skin needs extra nourishment. I've been recommending the Restore Oil to everyone!" - Jemma, Wellington Apothecary Co-Founder
