The Nectar : Eleven-Oil Nourishing Facial Oil

Why this exists

A facial oil only earns its place in a ritual when the blend does more than feel rich on application. This formula is built around eleven organic-certified botanical oils and extracts, selected for the way they contribute to nourishment, slip, absorption, and surface comfort rather than for a single headline ingredient. Jojoba leads as a skin-compatible base that absorbs cleanly, while dry-touch carriers help the oil feel light rather than heavy. Sea buckthorn and tomato extract bring carotenoid antioxidant content, cloudberry adds a distinctive Nordic botanical layer, and borage contributes GLA to support the surface lipid layer. The result is an oil that gives genuine richness with a finish that stays dry-to-satin, so skin looks cared for without feeling coated.

Inside the bottle

The key actives

01

Jojoba Oil

Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil

Acts as the primary carrier with a wax ester profile that absorbs fully and helps the formula sit comfortably on skin.

02

Sea Buckthorn Fruit Extract

Hippophae Rhamnoides (Sea Buckthorn) Fruit Extract

Brings a complex of carotenoids, tocopherols, and rare fatty acids for antioxidant-rich nourishment.

03

Cloudberry Fruit Extract

Rubus Chamaemorus (Cloudberry) Fruit Extract

Adds a distinctive Nordic botanical profile with plant sterols and tocotrienols.

04

Borage Seed Oil

Borago Officinalis (Borage) Seed Oil

Provides GLA to support the surface lipid layer with a notably nourishing feel.

05

Argan Oil

Argania Spinosa (Argan) Kernel Oil

Contributes tocopherol-rich emollience that softens the feel of the formula on skin.

On the skin

Rich on first contact, then it spreads easily and thins out on the skin. The finish is dry-to-satin rather than glossy. It absorbs quickly and leaves no heavy residue.

The application

How to layer this

  1. 1

    Apply after treatment

    Use after cleanser and any water-based steps, once they have fully absorbed. This keeps the oil as the final nourishing layer before moisturiser or SPF, depending on time of day.

  2. 2

    Press into skin

    Dispense a few drops into the palms, then press gently over the face. Focus on areas that feel drier or need a little more comfort.

  3. 3

    Use morning or night

    In the morning, layer it before SPF if your skin prefers an oil step. At night, use it after serum or moisturiser as the finishing layer of your skincare routine.

What to expect

On the skin, over time

  1. Day 1

    Skin feels immediately more cushioned and comfortable after application. The finish settles to a dry-to-satin feel rather than sitting heavily on the surface.

  2. Week 1

    The face may look a little more even and quietly luminous, especially on normal to dry skin. Dry-feeling areas tend to feel less noticeable through the day or overnight.

  3. Week 4

    With consistent use, skin can feel more consistently nourished and supple. The overall finish often reads as smoother and healthier, without a greasy residue.

The deeper detail

The formulation, the provenance, the standard

Formulation

Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil, organically sourced, opens the formula as the primary carrier : its wax ester chemistry allows it to absorb fully without congesting the follicle. Decyl Cocoate provides the dry-touch feel and carries the subsequent oils effectively. Solanum Lycopersicum (Tomato) Fruit Extract, organically sourced, delivers lycopene-rich carotenoid antioxidant activity from an early position.

Hippophae Rhamnoides (Sea Buckthorn) Fruit Extract, organically sourced, provides its characteristic complex of beta-carotene, tocopherols, omega-7 (palmitoleic acid), and rare omega fatty acids. Argania Spinosa (Argan) Kernel Oil, organically sourced, contributes tocopherol-rich oleic and linoleic emollient activity. Rubus Chamaemorus (Cloudberry) Fruit Extract, organically sourced, brings a distinctive profile of plant sterols and tocotrienols.

Persea Gratissima (Avocado) Oil, organically sourced, provides oleic-acid-rich nourishment for the outer lipid layer. Prunus Amygdalus (Almond) Dulcis Oil and Prunus Armeniaca (Apricot) Kernel Oil, both organically sourced, contribute lightweight emollient fatty acids. Borago Officinalis (Borage) Seed Oil, organically sourced, delivers GLA at a meaningful level. Oenothera Biennis (Evening Primrose) Oil, organically sourced, adds a further GLA contribution alongside linoleic acid. Vaccinium Myrtillus (Blueberry) Seed Oil, organically sourced, provides the formula's antioxidant closing note. Prunus Domestica (Plum) Seed Oil contributes additional emollient depth.

Tocopherol stabilises the entire formula. The finish is dry-to-satin, absorbing in under sixty seconds.

    really glow, no grease

    Two drops for face and neck, sinks in really quick and leaves this soft glow. Doesn't sit heavy or greasy. I like that it's eleven organic oils so feels less gimmicky, more thought-through. Use it most nights.

    absorbs completely

    41 and fussy about oils. This one actually sinks in, no film. Dry-satin finish, layers nicely under cream.

    love it but £35

    Absorbs quick, nice finish. Bit pricey though.

  • no grease by morning

    Three drops on damp skin, cream on top. Never greasy. Quiet glow, no film. Works for me on cold mornings.

    disappears with a soft glow

    One pump does face, neck and a bit on chest. Sinks in completely, leaves this soft satin feel that's richer than most oils but still clean. The scent's got a berry-ish thing going on which I like. I'm in rural Yorkshire and prefer stuff that just works without fuss, this does one job and does it properly.

    four drops, done

    Four drops after cleansing and before my moisturiser and it sinks in well. My skin feels softer by morning, with no greasy finish. The scent is a bit noticeable, but I still use it happily.
