Tea Tree Oil

What is it:  Tea Tree Oil is distilled from specially selected Melaleuca aternifolia trees, a plant native to the north-eastern New South Wales and south-eastern Queensland, Australia. Tea Tree was originally used by the indigenous people of New South Wales as an antiseptic and was widely recognised during the 1930s and 1940s. Thursday Plantation was the first brand to bring the power of Tea Tree Oil to the rest of Australia.

The oil is cold pressed next to the source of picking to retain an extremely high level of its natural nutrient content. Rosehip is naturally rich in essential fatty acids, Vitamin A, and antioxidants.

Almond Oil

What is it: Sweet Almond Oil is expressed from the ripe seed kernels of Prunus amygdalus dulcis. It is used for its nourishing properties.

Benefits: Rich in cell-replenishing vitamins, Almond Oil is highly nourishing and is ideal for dry, tired, and lifeless skin. It also soothes skin redness and improves the appearance of uneven skin tone. 

Macadamia Oil

What is it: Macadamia Oil is cold-pressed from the Australian native Macadamia integrifolia nut.

Benefits:  It is high in palmitoleic acid (omega 7), an essential fatty acid which is found in the human’s skin, but diminishes with ageing. The palmitoleic acids found in Macadamia Oil replenish and protect the skin’s lipid barrier, leaving the skin looking plumped and rejuvenated. 

Jojoba Oil

What is it: Grown wild in the North American desert, Jojoba Oil is made from Jojoba seeds that are hand-picked and cold pressed. This unique product is technically a liquid wax and is not subject to a rapid oxidation rate so it does not become rancid unlike other vegetable oils.

Benefits:  Jojoba oil’s molecular structure is very similar to the skin’s sebum. This allows it to build a very fine waxy coating on the skin which acts as a barrier to moisture loss. It can also balance oily skin by regulating sebum production.
