Skin Brighting

Sourced from the Boreal Forrest, the world’s largest biome (11.5% of the earth’s land area), this energizing oil smells heavenly. This little baby is great before or after a workout on your muscles topically. I love to blend it with coconut oil and use on my knees and calves to soothe the muscles after a run. This oil is high in bornyl acetate, a chemical component that promotes relaxation and calmness.

Bornyl acetate can also brighten skin by inhibiting the enzyme tyrosinase which helps produce melanin. Using on any skin spots topically where melanin seems inconsistent can help smoothen.

Yes, even just smelling this oil can relax and calm improving mood.
How does it achieve this magic? Monoterpenes. These organic compounds are known to boost mood. More specifically, alpha pinene, one of the most studied plant constituents, can penetrate the blood brain barrier (this is also in frankincense). Let me know if you need help getting your hands on this new oil.
