RITUAL: Botanical Face Oil
Balancing · Non-Comedogenic · For All Skin Types
The face oil that ends the conversation about whether face oil is for you. It is. This one was made to prove it.
There is a persistent and damaging myth in skincare that oily skin should avoid oil. This myth has kept an entire category of transformative skincare away from the women who need it most.
The truth is this: skin overproduces oil when it is stripped, dehydrated, and starved of the lipids it needs to maintain its barrier. Feed the barrier with the right oils, and it stops compensating.
Ritual Face Oil was built on this truth. Featherlight in texture. Non-comedogenic by formulation. Absorbing without a trace.
"The right oil doesn't add to your skin. It tells your skin it already has everything it needs."
Marula Oil (Sclerocarya birrea)
Marula is the structural anchor of the Ritual formula. Rich in tocopherols and procyanidins, Marula is simultaneously the formula's most emollient ingredient and its most protective one.
Astaxanthin (Haematococcus Pluvialis)
One of nature's most potent antioxidants, up to 6,000 times more powerful than Vitamin C. This deep coral-hued pigment, derived from microalgae, neutralizes free radical damage, calms stress-driven inflammation, and protects the skin's collagen and lipid layer from oxidative breakdown.
Wild Harvested Calendula Oil (Calendula officinalis)
A botanical that carries centuries of healing tradition from both the Nordic and Mediterranean cultures that shaped the MĒNOS brand. For skin that is reactive, rosacea-prone, or simply fatigued from too much stress, Wild Harvested Calendula is the botanical equivalent of being genuinely cared for.
The changes it creates are genuine and progressive, is over weeks of use.
The immediate experience is the texture. The longer experience is a complexion that behaves differently.
- Skin feels immediately softer, smoother, and deeply nourished after first application.
- A luminous, non-greasy finish that reads as health rather than product
- Redness and inflammation visibly reduced with regular use.
- Oily skin gradually normalises.
This Oil Was Made For You If...
- You have oily skin and have been told your whole life that face oil is not for you. It is. This one was specifically formulated to prove it.
- You have dry skin and every moisturiser you have tried sits on the surface rather than sinking in.
- Your skin is reactive and you want an oil that calms rather than stimulates.
- You want the last step of your skincare ritual to feel like the most intentional one.
Ritual is designed to be the final step of your skincare routine.
- Begin with clean skin. Apply Rebalance Serum and allow it to absorb fully.
- Warm 3–4 drops of Ritual between the palms of your hands for a few seconds. This activates the botanicals and allows the oil to spread more evenly across the skin.
- Press gently into the skin using upward movements. Do not rub. Pressing preserves the barrier integrity that everything in your ritual has been building.
- Take a moment. Breathe. Let this be the moment your nervous system settles for the evening.
Use morning and evening. For very oily skin, begin with evening use only and introduce the morning application gradually as your skin adjusts and sebum production begins to normalise.
