Essential Oils
From the very earliest days of civilisation, aromatic plants have been used for their healing, cosmetic and fragrance effects. Because of their small molecular size and volatility, essential oils readily penetrate the skin to reach and affect the deeper cells of the dermis. They are extremely active against bacteria, fungi and viruses and have much better skin penetration powers that conventional antibiotics. Various essential oils increase the rate of cellular re-growth and help to slow down the effects of ageing. They also help with balancing the production of sebum and are very useful in treating overly dry, combination and oily/acneic skin conditions. Essential oils have a variety of effects on micro circulation in the skin, soothing and healing effects on various types of inflamed skin conditions as well as a cooling and allergic response to certain types of dermatitis, insect bites and stings. Certain essential oils can be beneficial in helping to correct areas of over pigmentation, i.e. sunspots. Irikanji uses a variety of exceptional quality essential oils to deliver a complete range of skin care products for every skin type.
