Hello Mrs. Sherman! 

Hope you're enjoying a beautiful morning!! :) I was just wondering, is it safe to go out in the sun after using the Face Nourishment: Healing Blend or Soothing Blend? 

Thank you so much!!

HEO's Response:

There should be no problem wearing the Face Nourishment blends in the sun - neither Healing or Soothing contain photo toxic essential oils, and although the Wrinkle Ease has Lemon, it is sufficiently diluted.

Face Nourishment: Healing: Frankincense (Boswelia Frereana), Myrrh (Commiphora myrrha) and Palmarosa (Cymbopobon martinii) essential oils in a base of organic Jojoba (Simmondsia chinensis) and Evening Primrose

Face Nourishment: Soothing: Lavender (Lavendula angustifolia), Roman Chamomile (Chamaemelum nobile) and Palmarosa (Cymbopobon martinii) essential oils in a base of organic Jojoba (Simmondsia chinensis) and Evening Primrose
