DANDELION FACE OIL
Our Dandelion Face Oil is made from dandelion blossoms that are harvested by hand in rural Michigan, then slow-infused to capture their restorative qualities.
We crafted this formula with a slightly richer texture to support skin through the changing seasons. Blended with organic borage, castor, and jojoba infused with dandelion blossoms, then finished with lavender essential oil sourced from Lavender by the Bay on the North Fork of Long Island, New York.
The dandelion blossoms are the botanical heart of the infusion. Borage provides lasting moisture, while castor gives the formula a richer feel that lingers on the skin. Jojoba is naturally lightweight and closely resembles the skin's own oils, allowing it to absorb beautifully, leaving skin feeling soft. Lavender finishes the blend with a calming aroma, reminiscent of wandering through a field of wildflowers in bloom.
Formulated by Justin Wertz of Dirty Dude Apothecary.
Bottled by hand.

BENEFITS OF CASTOR AND JOJOBA INFUSED WITH DANDELION BLOSSOMS
Hand-harvested organic wild dandelion blossoms are slowly infused into oil over time, allowing the flowers’ naturally occurring plant compounds to gently migrate into the oil. Dandelion has a long history in traditional herbalism and is appreciated for its soothing, comforting nature and its connection to glowing skin.
Castor oil is rich in ricinoleic acid, a unique fatty acid that gives it exceptional conditioning properties. Although naturally thick, it forms a smooth, protective layer that helps soften dry skin while enhancing the absorption and staying power of the botanical infusion. It leaves skin feeling hydrated without feeling overly greasy.
Jojoba oil is actually a liquid plant wax rather than a true oil, making it remarkably similar to the skin’s own natural sebum. It absorbs evenly and provides excellent oxidative stability, naturally extending the shelf life of the blend without synthetic preservatives. The result is a silky finish that conditions the skin while allowing the infused botanicals to shine.
BENEFITS OF BORAGE
Borage is a star-shaped blue flower long associated with joy and merriment. Rich in essential fatty acids, its oil is deeply moisturizing and helps support the skin's natural moisture barrier without feeling heavy. It is especially loved for dry and sensitive skin, leaving the complexion soft and balanced, while calming the appearance of redness.
BENEFITS OF LAVENDER
Lavender is remarkably versatile with a fresh, herbaceous floral aroma. It promotes a sense of calm and relaxation while complementing the gentle nature and earthiness of the dandelion infusion. Beyond its beautiful fragrance, lavender has a tradition of use in skin care for its balancing and comforting qualities.
