Arnica Infused Oil is a gentle, plant-based oil created by steeping the vibrant flower heads of Arnica montana in pure sunflower oil. This time-honoured infusion method allows the beneficial components of the arnica flower to slowly absorb into the sunflower oil, creating a soothing, aromatic oil ideal for a wide range of topical applications.
Arnica, a perennial herb from the Asteraceae family—the same botanical family as the sunflower—is native to the mountainous regions of the northern hemisphere. Recognisable by its bright orange-yellow, daisy-like blooms, arnica has a rich history in traditional skincare practices, valued for its ability to comfort and calm the skin.
This oil has a pale yellow to green hue and a subtle, earthy aroma. It is semi-viscous in texture, yet remains light and easy to spread. Its “dry” feel allows it to absorb well into the skin without leaving a heavy or greasy residue, making it an excellent addition to a wide variety of personal care formulations.
