December's Serum of the Month is a very special one! For December's Serum of the Month, I wanted to create something new and extra-special for you. Something to celebrate the end of the year, beginning of another, holidays, wintertime, and the overall magic of the season... After combining some of the most beloved (and expensive) essential oils into one gorgeous and synergistic formula, I think that you're going to love this one! 

December's beautiful blend features the elusive, rare, and exquisite essential oils of Frankincense, Sandalwood, Bulgarian Rose, Cedarwood, Lavender, Myrrh, Rose Geranium, and Helichrysum nestled into Plum, Jojoba, Olive fruit, Wild Flax, Marula, and Oat oils. A medley that will delight the senses and your skin.

This combination of essential oils has a soft, delicate, woodsy, and resinous aroma, with lightly floral undertones (Frankincense and Sandalwood are the main aroma notes). They contain properties known to assist with mature skin, balance and calm the skin, signs of aging, and bring a fresh, radiant, and youthful glow.

The base blend of regenerative and restorative oils are known to moisturize, smooth, balance, protect, soften, nourish, calm, assist with mature skin, fine lines and wrinkles, and with various skin conditions and irritations.

Skin feels silky-smooth, soft, dewy, and fresh after applying this serum, while the delicate aroma grounds and relaxes.
