Skin Care
Astringent on greasy skin so, use it in gels, creams and lotions for acne prone skin, even when quite bad, as the oil is very gentle.
Reduces the size of open pores.
As it is balancing in its effect, it can be used for all skin types and is quite revitalising to the skin.
Good deodorant qualities so use in deodorants and body washes.
Its high tannin content make it effective at tightening up wrinkles and slack skin so add to night creams, lotions and gels for mature skin as well as lifting serums for around the eye area.
Hair Care
As it is uplifting and refreshing with deodorant qualities, it would be excellent for use in a shampoo when hair needs deep cleansing such as sweaty gym hair or after spending time in a smoker's environment.
