Castor Oil, Black Seed Oil, & Apricot Kernel Oil: Why These Oils Are Like Gold for your Skin
I didn’t start my skincare line because I wanted to make products. I started it because I started paying attention—to my body, my health, and what I was putting on my skin.
Back in 2020, I was deeply immersed in the beauty industry, selling Mary Kay and ranking at #2 in my national area. It was great while it lasted, but very quickly into it I felt a quiet nudge to slow down and look deeper. I began a self-healing journey that changed everything: how I ate, how I moved my body, how I managed stress, and how I cared for myself—mentally, physically, and spiritually.
That same awareness naturally extended to skincare. I started reading labels. Asking questions. Noticing how my skin reacted to certain products, even ones labeled “natural.” And I realized something important: a lot of skincare is built around convenience and cost—not nourishment.
That’s when I fell in love with oils. Not trendy oils. Not filler oils. But oils that actually do something for the skin.
Three of those oils—castor oil, black seed oil, and apricot kernel oil—became the foundation of my face oil. I call them skin gold for a reason.
Castor Oil: The Anchor
Castor oil was one of the first oils that I truly fell in love with. It’s rich, grounding, and deeply supportive—both for the skin and energetically.
On the skin, castor oil helps strengthen the skin barrier, lock in moisture, and soothe irritation. It’s especially supportive when the skin feels stressed, reactive, or depleted—something I deeply relate to from my own healing journey.
Castor oil doesn’t rush results. It supports the skin slowly and steadily, reminding me that healing—whether skin-deep or soul-deep—isn’t about quick fixes. It’s about consistency and care.
Black Seed Oil: The Protector
Black seed oil has been used for centuries in traditional medicine, and once I learned about it, I knew it belonged in my formula.
This oil is rich in antioxidants and essential fatty acids that help calm inflammation and support clarity. It’s especially powerful for skin that feels out of balance—whether that shows up as breakouts, redness, or sensitivity.
To me, black seed oil represents resilience. It supports the skin’s ability to protect itself, just as my own journey taught me to support my body instead of constantly trying to control it.
Apricot Kernel Oil: The Softener
If castor oil is grounding and black seed oil is protective, apricot kernel oil is the softener—the one that brings ease and flow.
It’s lightweight, gentle, and easily absorbed, helping the skin feel nourished without feeling heavy. Apricot kernel oil delivers vitamins that support elasticity and glow, making it ideal for everyday use.
This oil reminds me that skincare—and life—doesn’t have to be harsh to be effective. Sometimes softness is what creates the biggest shift.
Why These Oils Matter
These oils weren’t chosen randomly. They were chosen intentionally—because they support the skin in a way that aligns with how I now live my life.
I don’t believe in overwhelming the skin with long ingredient lists or cutting corners with filler oils. I believe in fewer ingredients, higher quality, and formulations that respect the body’s natural intelligence.
When you apply a face oil made with truly nourishing oils, you don’t need much. A few drops, applied with presence, is enough.
That moment—warming the oil in your hands, slowing down, touching your face with care—becomes more than skincare. It becomes a ritual. A reminder that caring for your skin is also caring for yourself.
That’s what this is all about.
