Organic hypericum (St. John's Wort) oil infusion, cosmetic

Also called St. John's Wort Oil.

Its flowers are harvested, as tradition dictates, at the moment of its maximum balsamic colour, on June 24th and placed in organic extra virgin olive oil for 40 days in the sun.

The active ingredient of St. John's Wort is released into the oil and it is colored red.

Called, the MIRACULOUS oil , it was used during the Crusades by doctors to treat blade wounds.

St. John's wort oil contains flavonoids, tannins and phloroglucinols (hyperforin) and these are the properties:

• healing
• skin regenerating
• soothing
• softening
• antioxidants
• anti-wrinkle
• antiseptics
• purifying
• astringent
• antimicrobial
• anti-inflammatory
• analgesic
• HEALING for: wounds
• sunburns
• burns
• bedsores
• erythema
• skin inflammation
• psoriasis
• skin spots
• scars
• stretch marks
• rosacea
• hemorrhoids
• diaper rash
• insect bites
• rheumatism
• muscle and joint pain

For external use, St. John's Wort oil has no particular contraindications, with the exception of possible hypersensitivity to the active ingredients, first and foremost hypericin.

The only recommendation concerns the prohibition of exposure to sunlight or artificial sources of ultraviolet radiation immediately after using St. John's Wort oil. In fact, this product is highly photosensitizing, i.e. it tends to amplify the effects of sun rays on the skin, especially in the case of people with light complexions or freckles.

Unlike the ingested St. John's wort flower, it does not conflict with hormonal treatments.
