Thorn Oil is true magic. Drops of blood red fall onto your skin, then vanish to reveal the luminosity within.

Thorn Oil is the perfect makeup priming oil. This exquisite blend creates an unparalleled base for your makeup application. Including it in your process is utterly transformative; your colors will glide on effortlessly, and wear like part of your skin.

Thorn Oil is the finest skincare. For both makeup and makeup-free days, Thorn Oil cares for your canvas. Named for the thorns of a rose, Thorn Oil is created from two parts of the plant–the flower and the fruit–merged with carefully-selected botanical ingredients. We carefully formulated this potion to create a healthy, plumped and radiant effect without leaving shine after absorption.

Thorn Oil is for all skin types. With our carefully balanced blend of organic oils, this vegan facial oil achieves the extraordinary: it provides gentle moisture for dry skin, and balances oily and combination skin.

    Amazing product!

    My skin is sensitive. Any new product will wreak havoc on my complexion, not this one! It smells amazing, delicate. It goes on smooth and light, not sticky or filmy. My face looks younger and fresher and I've gotten so many compliments. I started with a sample, and now it's part of my makeup routine. Some days, it's all I put on.

    Great Oil

    I have very dry mature skin and I use this oil when I feel extra dry at night or under my foundation in the daytime.

    This has replaced my daytime moisturizer

    I didn't expect to like this as much as I do. I just use 3 drops and its more than enough for my face and neck and creates a gorgeous base. I don't only use this with the 3 drop foundation but it works well with other foundations I've tried and even my tinted sunscreens. It helps reduce my redness and adds some whimsy into my morning routine. Its not as rosy smelling as thorn milk I was expecting that more fresh rose scent. This is more an earthy/herbal scent not bad but wasn't expecting it.

    My face drinks this up like an elixir!

    Amazing product that I use as a moisturizer especially during the winter season. My skin loves it and as someone who’s prone to oily acne skin it’s giving a nice smooth hydrating balance.

    Is this how Vlad the Impailor felt?

    Lucious, decadent, fragrant, and most of all emollient!
