For all skin. Especially prematurely ageing and severely environmentally damaged skin. Ideal for those transitioning to an oil based skin care routine and those wary of essential oils and essences. Essential oil free. Essences kept to a minimum.

• Treat signs of hastily maturing skin including reducing surface wrinkles, evening skin tone and nourishing rough patches

• Powerfully restorative for UV damaged skin in particular due to the high B-ionone content of Boronia

• B-ionones are proven to have anti-carcinogenic activity (Aloom, L et al. 2020) and therefore, can potentially, therefore, reverse sun damage

• Good for use on pesky patches of flaky, damaged skin which disappear and come back again (patches of Actinic keratosis)

• High antioxidant and antiglycation properties improve surface texture and the improve the skin’s ability to rehabilitate itself

• Promote cellular turnover and regeneration

• Support healthy microbiotica of the skin

• Moderate underlying inflammation

• Help to reduce and moderate inflammatory skin conditions such as hyper-pigmentation (patches of discolouration)

BORONIA Boronia megastigma, Australia, Absolute.* Very, very rare, expensive and luxurious Boronia absolute is not simply prized for its extremely beautiful, otherworldly, fruity, floral scent but also because it contains natural ionones and large amounts of (UV reversing) B-ionones. B-ionones have proven anti-carcinogenic activity activity. It helps to reverse and prevent sun and environmental damage to the skin, as well as being beneficial to inflammatory skin conditions such as hyper-pigmentation, acne and rosacea.

PORCINI MUSHROOM Boletus edolis, Italy, Absolute.* An exceptional quality Porcini, like the smoothest, intense dark chocolate with mushroomy depths and subtle white floral highs the absolute itself has a skin-like dry down. These ancient microorganisms have so many incredible, scientifically proven positive effects on the skins microbiome and barrier. Not only helping to restore the microbiotica via active polysaccharides and phnolic compounds, it also has an anti-glycation effect on the skin, which makes it great for treating overly ageing skin. It helps to minimise the cellular damage of free radicals as Porcini mushrooms have a very high antioxidant content (rich in zinc, selenium, manganese, vitamins D and C). This means it’s good for inflammatory skin conditions (i.e. hyper-pigmentation, acne, rosacea etc.) linoleic acid in this most appreciated of mushrooms strengthens the skins lipid barrier, promoting cellular turnover and helping to more effectively keep hydration in the tissue.

*A NOTE ON ABSOLUTES: Absolutes renowned for their very high grade of aroma-therapeutic structure. They are more complete in terms of volatile compounds, fragrances and active ingredients than essential oils (E.O.’s). One of the reasons for this is that absolutes are extracted at lower temperatures and are, therefore, heat sensitive molecules remain unimpaired.

Like a bowl of ripe, mouthwatering jammy peaches on a summers day with melting vanilla ice cream drizzled with dark chocolate. Heavenly, sweet, utterly delicious Unguarded therapeutic scent range has slightly tart citrusy highs before sinking into the smoothest, dark and earthy cocoa forest floor depths.

Long, lazy, hazy days of summer. Lying on shaded rugs with old friends, bare toes in pushing past the soft green grass into damp soil. Bowls of perfectly ripe peaches fruit with vanilla ice cream and dark chocolate melting on the tongue.

To come home to ourselves. To soften the way we see and treat our skin and face. To allow ourselves sweetness and moments of pure indulgence. To know that we deserve to be held in comfort. To be nurtured, delighted and thrilled. To feel safe enough to be able to welcome in the new and allow the fully capacity of our own personal evolution. This face balm brings deep refreshment, not just for the skin, but to whole self.

• Coming home. Security. Sanctuary.

• Open. Mature. Unfurl.

• Welcoming in the new. Sweet, sweet surrender.

FACE Keep it simple. Melt a small pea-sized amount onto fingers and massage well into whole face, neck and chest. Pay attention to areas of visible sun damage, hyper-pigmentation (patches of discolouration) and surface damage.

BODY Gently rub into any rough, flaky patches and/or areas of hyper-pigmentation (discolouration and uneven skin tone). It’s likely that these may be found on the backs of hands, chests - any areas which can exposed, repeatedly over time, to the elements.

Sweep over pulse points. Inhale fragrance. Daydream. Close your eyes. Drift. Allow the scent to momentarily transport you to your own distant lands within. After all pulse points are simply precise points of entry to our inner constellations where blood rises to the surface and the scent is warmed by it, diffusing slowly both into the air (outwards) and into us (inwards). On the body Fiona suggests the inside of the elbow as well as the inner wrist; behind the top of the ear and behind the knee anywhere you feel the rhythm of your heart rise up and because FUME artisan aromatics are natural and subtle you can place anywhere you want to be intimately scented.

Through touch, scent, skin, memory and dreams allow yourself to connect to your heart and remember how magnificent you truly are.

Pay Attention to Tender Spots

Massage your whole face, neck and chest paying particular attention to areas that feel sore. With gentle pressure work into these tender spots until you feel tensions release. The places that feel sore are actually where we want to spend a little more time, not avoid.

Soften your shoulders, breathe deeper and either massage (with fingers/hands moving the tissue) with gentle firmness directly into the areas of tightness or press directly into tender spot with static pressure (not moving) for 8-10 seconds or until tenderness eases.

Fiona says “Let’s put aside all fear of massaging firmly into our skin and all the tissue of our face and neck. Manipulating our skin and connecting deeper into our tissues helps us to connect more profoundly with ourselves as well as plumping skin and helping to lift facial structures.”
