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.

    Never want to be without it!

    I love this; the whole experience of using it! It smells amazing and moisturizes so well. I am on my fourth bottle now and I can’t get enough!

    Best primer!

    I absolutely adore this oil! I mix it with my water sunscreen by Centella and wear the Ritual De Fille concealer and it looks incredible without feeling greasy! It soaks into my skin and I feel like it actually helps to control the oil. You have to shake it very vigorously, but besides that it is perfect.

    A wonderful multipurpose skincare product!

    I was initially hesitant to try this, incorrectly assuming it was only a primer for makeup---and I don't wear foundation. But then I read the reviews. So many people were using it as a moisturizer. And I was looking for a new facial oil for that purpose. I tried a sample. All went well. I got the big bottle. It's been about a month and things are still going great! I appreciate how Rituel makes products that can work in multiple ways!

    Priming oil

    I actually meant to order the setting spray. It's interesting. The texture seems thick, but goes on nicely.

    Moisture blood drops

    I call these my moisture blood drops! I live in a very cold and dry part of Canada & this is a great way to get extra moisture. I use this oil after my skin care and before my make up. I’m knocking one star off as I do have to blot my face with tissue after about 5 mins before I start my make up routine as it sits on the skin. This is not a dry oil. Overall I would re purchase for the Winter months. It’s also the coolest looking bottle and liquid I own! Great job on packaging!

    Awesome

    I don't know how I'd feel about this if I had oily skin but if you're dry, this is priceless!
