Aromatherapy delivers results by working with your skin—not against it. Botanical oils and plant extracts are rich in natural antioxidants, essential fatty acids, and vitamins that support your skin barrier, calm inflammation, and improve tone and texture over time, instead of forcing quick surface changes.
The products at Kemet Skincare are created with synergy and harmony; but will every natural component be what you need? Here is a comprehensive look at botanicals that could be implemented in your daily skin routine for maximum benefits.
Natural Vitamin C
Shields & Protects
Natural sources of vitamin C such as astaxanthin, beet root, rosehip, and sea buckthorn, remain more stable and tend to work in better synergy with the skin. Many people find synthetic versions irritating, with results that fade once use stops.
How to Use:
Apply a Natural Vitamin C Serum in the morning before moisturizer and sunscreen. It enhances antioxidant protection and supports SPF, but it never replaces it.
Pomegranate Oil
Nourishes & Regenerates
Pomegranate oil is rich in punicic acid, a rare fatty acid that supports elasticity and skin renewal. It’s also packed with antioxidants that help defend against environmental stressors. The glow from pomegranate oil comes from improved regeneration—fresher cells create naturally radiant skin.
How to Use:
Apply Rosehip-Retinol Eye Smoothing Cream morning and evening after cleansing your face with a reliable cleanser. Tap the cream in lightly with your pinky inwards under and around your eye. Add your facial moisturizer to your face after applying your eye cream.
Lotus Oil
Regulates Oil Production & Skin Balance
Used for centuries in Ayurvedic and ancient Egyptian rituals, lotus oil - as in our Citrus Lifting Moisturizer - contains linoleic acid, which helps regulate oil production. Oily skin often overproduces oil due to dehydration, and lotus helps restore balance. It also calms inflammation and leaves a subtle, healthy glow.
How to Use:
Apply after cleansing your face and neck, preferably with a natural cleanser. Massage lightly on to your face with upward motion. Let dry for a minute. Keep away from eyes. Mature and dehydrated skin will benefit from the compounded therapeutic properties in this product.
Saffron
Restores Elasticity & Glow
Saffron has been treasured in Persian and Indian beauty traditions for its brightening properties. Rich in antioxidants, it protects against free radical damage while supporting circulation and collagen production. It helps even out skin tone and restore vibrancy, making it especially powerful in eye and face treatments like Golden Saffron Face Hydrating Booster.
How to Use:
Apply daily morning and evening after cleansing. This product may be used after toning the skin with a natural mist / toner. Due to the hyaluronic acid component and vitamin E, you may use serum preferably after – not before (optional) – to allow it to improve hydrating benefits. Good water consumption is recommended with this product to help boost skin flexibility and plumping, while reducing the visibility of fine lines.
Blackseed Oil
Reduces Inflammation & Shields
Also known as black cumin seed oil, this ingredient has deep roots in Middle Eastern and South Asian skincare traditions. It contains thymoquinone, known for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Black seed oil supports the skin barrier, reduces redness, and calms irritation.
How to Use:
A few drops at night can deeply nourish and restore balance.
Green Tea Extract
Fights Pollution & Restores Skin Tone
Green tea extract is loaded with polyphenols that protect against environmental damage and reduce inflammation. Acne, stress, pollution, and UV exposure can leave skin looking dull. Green tea helps calm this cycle, restoring clarity and glow while improving hydration levels.
How to Use:
Kemet Skincare's Purify n Glow Toner is packed with green tea, ready to transform your skin hydration level. Apply morning and evening after cleansing your face with a reliable cleanser or after exfoliating and rinsing your face. Close your eyes, spray the toner to your face 1 – 2 spitzes from 10 inches away, top down. Leave to dry on your skin before applying any other products or make up. Apply your facial moisturizer and / or serum after.
