Benefits
Your skin will become:
- More flexible and calm: Hemp and Evening Primrose oil are known for their soothing, calming and protective properties. The omega 3 and 6 content of one, and the gallic and gamma-linoleic acid of the other, give them undeniable restorative properties. They fight against dehydration and thus help maintain the skin's hydrolipidic layer. We combine them with Borage oil for its reconstructive properties of cell membranes.
- Healthier and more radiant: Black Seed oil and Tamanu oil are known for treating skin problems. They are anti-inflammatory, anti-infectious and healing. They purify the skin.
Eczema / Psoriasis characteristics
Eczema and psoriasis are not contagious and symptoms can come and go. Although there is no treatment to cure either condition, it is possible to reduce symptom recurrences by using appropriate moisturizers.
Eczema is pruriginous dermatitis characterized by:
- Red patches (inflammation of the skin)
- Itchiness
- Crust patches on the surface of the skin,
- Small, oozing blisters (vesicles) and
- Dry skin.
Eczema most commonly occurs on the hands, feet, face, neck and folds of the limbs.
Psoriasis is characterized by:
- Red and dry patches that flake off (a kind of dry skin or white crust patches).
These plaques usually show up on the face, elbows, knees and scalp but can appear on many different areas of the body. Psoriasis is caused by skin cell renewal occurring too quickly: every 3 or 4 days instead of once per month. This quick renewal causes the skin to become thicker, with too many layers, one on top of the other (although the lifespan of the skin cells remains the same).
Directions for use
Place 2 or 3 drops on your fingertips. Apply morning and / or evening to affected areas (face / body) depending on the needs of your skin. Do not put on your eyes.
MORNING: Spritz some Chamomile mist (hydrosol) onto your face (2 to 3 spritzes), then apply some Ep serum to the affected areas and a serum suitable for your skin type (2 or 3 drops) to the rest of your face.
EVENING: Cleanse / remove make-up from your face with our Hydros cleanser / make-up remover, then spritz some Chamomile mist (hydrosol) onto your face, followed by 2 or 3 drops of a serum suitable for your skin type on the rest of your face.
Note: If your skin doesn’t require serum in the evening, gently dry your skin (with a tissue, for example) after spritzing your mist.
We recommend the Geranium mist (hydrosol) for psoriasis and the Chamomile mist (hydrosol) for eczema.

We primarily select oils certified "organic" by ECOCERT, PRO CERT, QUEBEC VRAI or oils produced from "wild" plants, that is, plants grown on wild lands where they are not exposed to synthetic pesticides.
Obtaining organic certification is very expensive and some small local producers who work according to the standards of organic certification cannot finance this labeling. We work with trusted producers who are not certified but who respect traditional cultivation methods without the use of pesticides or chemical ingredients. In such cases, we make note of this on our product information pages.
All our products are free of synthetic fragrances and emulsifiers, dyes, synthetic preservatives (parabens, phenoxyethanol), GMOs and petrochemicals (mineral oils, paraffin, silicone, PEG). Not tested on animals.
