They feel light and refreshing on the skin, soak in quickly, and are easy to layer under moisturisers or treatments. Best of all, they’re super easy to make. I personally love making serums.

I certainly did when I first started formulating. My rosehip oil would lose its bright colour and delicate scent long before my coconut oil even showed a hint of age.
