Description: Extra Organic St. John's Wort Oil is obtained by macerating St. John's Wort flowers in sunflower oil , through a delicate process without solvents. This method allows to extract all the skin-friendly active ingredients without the presence of hypericin , a photosensitizing molecule typical of St. John's Wort.

The final product appears as an amber oleolite , not red, rich in:
✔ Hyperforine
✔ Resins, waxes, vitamins and minerals
✔ Flavonoids, quercetin, kaempferol, catechins

The absence of hypericin makes this oleolite safe for cosmetic use , without the risk of photosensitization, maintaining intact the soothing, emollient and regenerating properties of the plant.
