A fragrance-free facial oil for sensitive skin
Everything our Marshmallow Facial Oil does, without the fragrance, for skin that's sensitive to essential oils. Suitable for adults, children and babies from 4 weeks. It's light and quickly absorbed, yet deeply nourishing. Half of every bottle is our marshmallow root infused oil, the best herb we've found for softening skin and helping it hold on to moisture. We blend it with organic borage oil and rosehip oil, rich in the essential fatty acids your skin barrier is built from, and a little of our homegrown calendula.

Why at night?
Borage and rosehip oils are rich in linoleic acid and GLA (gamma-linolenic acid), fatty acids that people with dry or difficult skin are often lacking and that are vital for a healthy skin barrier. But they aren't stable in sunlight, and on the skin in the daytime they can oxidise and create free radicals. So we made this oil for the evening, to pair with Unfragranced Beauty Balm, whose sun-stable oils make it ideal for the day.
Which skin is it for?
- Dry, sensitive or damaged skin: it's the evening moisturiser in our routine for dry and sensitive skin, which also covers a damaged skin barrier.
- Eczema-prone skin: for your face, follow the same dry and sensitive routine. For the body and the wider picture, see our approach to eczema-prone skin.
- Perioral dermatitis: during a flare, less is more, so follow our approach to perioral dermatitis. If your skin is dry, tight or stinging rather than bumpy, a damaged barrier is more likely, and the dry and sensitive routine (with this oil) is the one to follow.
- Oily, combination and blemish-prone skin: oily skin still needs moisture, and this oil is light and non-comedogenic. See our routine for oily and blemish-prone skin.
- Rosacea-prone skin: keep to a balm in the daytime. If you'd like something lighter at night, or your skin is dry or sensitive too, use a thin layer of this oil instead of your evening balm. Introduce it slowly, and go back to the balm if your skin flares. See our approach to rosacea-prone skin.
- Balanced, dry and mature skin: it works just as well as the scented version. Browse our fragrance-free skincare, or try the Scented Facial Oil if you enjoy a light fragrance.
Not just for faces
We made this as a facial oil, but try it on hands, feet or elbows that are rough from gardening or dried out by water. Its softening effect is remarkable.
Prefer a set?
Our Night and Day Complete Facial Skincare System pairs the facial oil with Beauty Balm and a muslin cloth, for a complete morning and evening routine.

FAQs

Will my skin react to Lyonsleaf Products
Our products are all 100% natural and free from all artificial chemicals. Because they are water free we can even avoid antimicrobial preservatives and emulsifiers. For this reason it is very unusual for anyone to react to our products at all. However some people are sensitive to essential oils, so if you are super-sensitive please choose unfragranced product options. Even less common, it is possible to be allergic to calendula and other herbs, so it is always important to do a patch test. In the unlikely event that you do have an adverse reaction, you can return your product for a full refund. We also sell samples of most products so you can try before you invest in a big pot.
Why is the pot so small?
Lyonsleaf products are water free and contain only the finest, plant oils, butters natural waxes and mineral ingredients. Most high Street products are up to 80% water, which means you need to apply them much more liberally and frequently. You will find you only need to use Lyonsleaf products very sparingly to achive good hydration that lasts all day. Products that are rich in soothing herbs can be used more frequently to achieve the best calming effect, but they still only need to be used sparingly. So these little pots go a long way, using less packaging and less transportation resources.
Are Lyonsleaf products vegan?
Much of the Lyonsleaf range is vegan, but we do use organic beeswax in some products. When it came to choosing a suitable wax, we decided it would be better for the environment to choose a farming method that promotes pollinators rather than a vegetable mono-crop that causes deforestation and loss of habitat. We only use organic beeswax as organic farming standards require farmers to have high welfare standards for Bees.
