The product is made with not just organic sea buckthorn oil and other nourishing plant oils but also 20% black soldier fly larvae oil. As soldier grubs are some of the world's most sustainable and nutrient-rich insects, the skincare product offers a unique approach to supporting the health and healing of skin. The formula also contains argan, rosehip, patchouli, frankincense, lavender and sunflower oils, which contribute soothing and anti-inflammatory properties.
